Useta-could.

Just got a reminder that season 5 episode 1 of The Expanse will be released soon.

Maybe tomorrow, but probably Wednesday.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, shoot. I am definitely behind on The Expanse but I don't rightly remember how much.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I really wanted to like Bridgerton more than I did (it was available on the press screener site a couple of months ago) - the cast is great and it's visually gorgeous and Yay Regency Romance Tropes (Mostly*), but I couldn't work up any enthusiasm about the mystery built into the framing device and so it ultimately fell flat. I haven't read the books so I can't comment on whether it succeeds as an adaptation.

(*Some regency romance tropes in this series are Yikes not Yay.)

Anyone have any thoughts on how reliable Giant Freakin Robot is as a source? They're saying Disney wants to reboot Firefly as a family-friendly adventure show.

... does Disney own the IP?

So the article said - from when they bought Fox.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Oh, I can't wait to see the reaction from the Browncoats to that idea!

Huh, Firefly without Joss or the original cast? Not really Firefly.

Hey. New board.

I could actually be okay with a firefly animated series I'm the vein of Star Wars Rebels. It would be a different thing but still potentially a good thing.

I really wanted that Buffy animated series that had artwork by JephbLoeb back in the day.

move out and draw fire

Clone Wars was a much better Anakin arc than the prequels so I'm willing to consider it...but I don't see how you make it family-friendly without handwaving some things, like companions. It would be neat to have Firefly with Chinese characters and actors.
