I really liked the tv series, but disliked the movie, because basically it was a 2 hours series episode and not a movie. It also botched the story, in my opinion.

I hope they'll restart the series, and hopefully fill in the story from where we left in the series.

For all you browncoats out there ;)

That was somewhat accurate of my response to the saddest part of the movie :(
