Easily one of the most successful failed shows of all time, the Science Channel has been the cable home of "Firefly" for a little while now. For the show's tenth anniversary, the network broadcast "Firefly: Browncoats Unite," a special that reunited the people that brought the show to life so they could reminisce about the good old days with an oral history of the show.
On board was the principal cast, as well as creator Joss Whedon and executive producers Tim Minear and Jose Molina. Not only were fans treated to stories about the entire run of the series -- from its creation to its cancellation and resurrection as a feature film called "Serenity" -- they were even treated to some nuggets of what could have been.
Specifically, future plans for some of the characters were revealed, like Inara's (Morena Baccarin) intended battle with terminal cancer. As well as the show played with heavy content, it can be certain this would have been a powerful arc.
Alas, "Firefly" only lives on now in those fourteen episodes -- only ten of which aired on Fox (in the wrong order!). But in true cult classic fashion, though it only lasted a little while, it has been loved emphatically for a decade with surely many more to come.
