- Cyph0n 8y agoThat ship has sailed, no? Good luck getting the cast and writers together after all this time.
- hh3k0 8y agoAs someone who always wished for more X-Files until season 10 and 11 were released: Be careful what you wish for.
- gaius 8y agoI loved loved loved Firefly but Serenity killed that franchise for me. A dismally bad film.
- isostatic 8y agoIt's a shame they never made a firefly film
- gremlinsinc 8y agoI actually liked serenity.. River's character especially, she's a badass. Didn't like them killing off characters left/right, but did help with closure a bit.
- gaius 8y agoEveryone in it did what was cool in the moment but not what any of their characters had ever done in the series. When Jayne started playing the guitar I realised: this is bullshit Part of the appeal of Firefly too was that no one was anyone special - just a bunch of random folks who do their best in weird situations. Now they’re all superheroes...
- jpkeisala 8y agoHow about bribing Firefly to Expanse universe? Having two stories running on one serie and then sometimes they would meet each other.
- mcv 8y agoI love Firefly more than anything on TV, but continuing Firefly is just not an option anymore. Maybe a reboot, but it's not easy to capture that same magic. You might as well make a new SciFi show, and The Expanse is just that.
- paranoidrobot 8y agoI have to agree so much. I think the memories of what made Firefly so special ignore the reality that it's been 16 years. Nathan Filion will be 50 in 3 years, he can no longer physically pull off the young uppity captain with a grudge against the system. The same goes for all the other actors - they've all grown up and matured since then. So to account for that, time would've had to pass. I find I find it difficult to believe that the crew of Serenity would've been able to stick together for more than another year, two at the outside. In the movie we'd already had Book and Inara leave, and given the events in the movie I can't see Zoe wanting to stick around much longer, despite her loyalty to Mal. Given the wanted status of most of the rest of the crew, paying work would continue to be hard to find, and the ship was already running on fumes as it was. Any failures of any critical components would quickly see the ship grounded, and then Jayne would be gone if he hadn't already bailed. Kaylee and Simon might have made it work for a while, but Simon was always too focused on his sister's well-being to the exclusion of everything else. With the government apparently no longer after River, he might have reached out to the rich father to return home.
- wj 8y agoDark Matter was a bit more of my cup of coffee than The Expanse. Like in Firefly it is a small rebel crew on a ship exploring the universe. Still glad the Expanse was picked up.
- christophilus 8y agoMan. I really wish Netflix or someone would pick Dark Matter back up. Loved that show.
- stephenr 8y agoI watched it, but wasn’t particularly shocked or bothered when it wasn’t renewed. It felt like just another mediocre predictable action/adventure show, but in space.
- zerr 8y agoDid Firefly had a logical end at the and of its single season? Is it worth watching?
- beautifulfreak 8y agoThe movie, Serenity wraps it all up, so it's worth watching the series.
- jccalhoun 8y agoI found it to be the most overrated show of all time. It is incredibly average. I am not a fan of Joss Whedon's work so your mileage may vary.
- Apocryphon 8y agoAgreed. Firefly has been superseded by the shows it inspired with its setting. Not to mention that Cowboy Bebop was superior, anyway.
