This won't happen because the idea is too good. Let's face it, if there's a new torchwood series after this, they'll just ignore the problems and move on from there.
Which is a shame, really, 'cause your idea is so good it makes me tingle all over.

I've always told my friends that i don't mind spoilers. If a story is engrossing, it doesn't matter if you loose the "big moment" (most of them are guessable anyway). I say, SPOIL AWAY!
My grandpa bought the Time Life Mysteries books back when i was a kid and i remember them scaring the absolute shit out of me. The commercial just made me want to keep reading them.
Man, none of those sound interesting to me. I think my tastes in books have changed.
Huh...well, now i know why i'm so broken.
Gah, i wondered what was going on. What a waste.
True, i hadn't thought of that. I still think their tracking system is a bit silly (Search lights? For realz?) but that does make more sense.
See, i have no problem with that. If they were using gunpowder, sure, there'd be issues, but even a gauss cannon that accelerates a projectile to .1c, making it able to destroy a tank if it had the proper mass, would still be a projectile weapon, but definitely falls into a category of FutureTech that would be appropriately alien.
As good as that looks, and it does look very good, i have to wonder why the aliens packed away the good weapons after destroying all the military everywhere. Is the 3 second long targeting system cheaper to operate?
This makes me happy. A little worried about the director, but i liked his work on Scott Pilgrim, so that'll be okay, i think. Let's make it happen, people!
Sure, but do you disagree that you would have enjoyed the movie more with previous context?
And Han was based off of one of the basic character archetypes. Not saying Han isn't a good character, in fact, he's my favorite, but saying he's superior to Mal merely because he came first is like saying Doom is better then Half Life because it came first. There is a place for 'first', but it doesn't make it necessarily best.
Condescension.
Yes, and there's plenty of people who saw Serenity without watching Firefly. The point isn't that some people watched the movie without context, but that both are better because of their previous context.
Here's the problem.
Taken on its own terms, Serenity isn't very good.
But, taken on its own terms, neither is Empire Strikes Back.
Without the expanded universes on either side, the TV show for Serenity and A New Hope for Empire, neither one of these movies stand very well on their own.
Think about it. Without A New Hope, no one would care about Vader being Luke's father, no one would care about the tension between Han and Leia, no one would care about the Rebellion hiding on Hoth or, frankly, any major part of the film that people say make it such an amazing movie.
It's because of what came before it that it's a good movie, a great movie. But if one can use the previous information to inform the choice of Empire, then one should be allowed to use the previous information of Firefly to inform the choice of Serenity.
I voted Serenity. When taken as a whole, it's a much better series and much better universe. The characters have more depth and it just feels more 'real', in the sense that they are real people with real lives that occurred before the movies and will continue afterward (except for Wash and Book).
Taking both movies with the information that came before it, which puts both on equal footing, is the only reasonable way to inform this choice, and in that case, Serenity wins hands down.

And, you must realize that when you say "once it is actually out" you mean it came out on the day you wrote your snarky-yet-toothless remarks, right?
Specifically, Blood Oath is about an old story about a man being convicted of vampirism after being found covered in the blood of his shipmates, but president Johnson (abe's VP) pardoned him and he lived the rest of his life in an asylum. Not sure what brought about the the Abe Lincoln, Vamp Hunter book.
The President's Vampire by Christopher Farnsworth releases on the 28th
First time i saw this i was wracked with the flu and had a fever of 103.
Imagine my surprise when i googled it the next day and realized it was real and wasn't some sort of horrible fever dream.

He can't hear you through his mansion made out of 100 dollar bills.
I'm sure he'll take a message, though.
