Good News Everyone: Firefly Lives (in a way)

First off, I would like to give my condolences to the family of C-Net writer James Kim. I was relieved when I heard that his wife and two kids were found alive and well, I had expectations that he would be found alive. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, as he was found already dead from exposure. He fought the elements for a long time in an attempt to save his family.
James, you will be missed.

Anyways, on to the good news.
Wired has reported that Joss Whedon's short lived, but still great, work Firefly will be turned into an MMO (story: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,72263-0.html?tw=rss.index).
I have been playing though a few MMO's lately (currently playing D&D Online) and I am hopeful that the developers not only capture the world that Whedon built, but also make a great game out of it.
In truth, Firefly doesn't seem like the best world for a MMO. Much of the story isn't based on action, but on plot and character. Although action certainly is plentiful, being it has the feel of the wild west, capturing the best parts of the series may be a challenge, especially if they delve too much into sci-fi.
