Another vote for "Disney will screw it up"
The new firefly would be following the guys with blue gloves, and showing how the serenity crew were terrorists.
Most people never heard of it until after it was cancelled. It definitely wasn't given much of a chance.I'm both excited & disappointed.
I'll watch it & be hopeful...kinda doubt it will have that same dynamic the show had when it 1st aired.
(Still in disbelief it was canceled)

I was the same. Although I do not remember if I saw Firefly or Serenity first now. I was not one to watch a lot of TV back then.Guilty. I watched the show after I watched the Serenity movie. I had never heard of it before (which makes Serenity a slightly tough movie to follow).
There seems to be a bit of an Alan Tudyk effect here... I've been waiting for a Tucker and Dale sequel (that everyone says they want to happen, including the studios) for a decade now. Serenity came out in 2005...
I'm starting to think some doors are best left closed after a certain point.
Same here. Big sci-fi guy here and there's a lot of good shows I missed when they were on TV in the early 2000s due to not watching TV from then until the last couple years discovering streaming when Hulu was free then Amazon and netflix. Dark matter, firefly, farscape, and a few others.Most people never heard of it until after it was cancelled. It definitely wasn't given much of a chance.
Different political climate these days, just 15 years later things that were done and said then wouldn't be broadcast these days. There's a lot of crap that they'll run but having the protagonist be against the light of civilization? no way.Have the DVD set of both the series and the movie. Not sure if they can do a reboot with the same "feel" as the original.
A reboot now is way to far down the road from the original. The chemistry of the actors was a part of that series working for me.I agree that they will ruin Firefly.
I have yet to start watching the new season of The Expanse. Sorry to hear they are slacking with it. That stinks. My youngest is interested so we planned to start from S1 and work thru them all. Then maybe S5 will be out and I won't have to wait.
That and it was a world created by Whedon. He has done some amazing things.A reboot now is way to far down the road from the original. The chemistry of the actors was a part of that series working for me.
