I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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.

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.

That I would watch, Volans.

Or Gina Torres doing anything at all, with or without other members of the cast.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

HBO is coming to Roku, starting tomorrow.

I think she's on 9-1-1 Lone Star with Rob Lowe but she's not enough to make me watch it.

Mm, that is true, I have not been watching that and I quit watching Suits, but I would at least give something with Firefly in the name and Gina Torres on board a try

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Expanse

Watched season 5 episode 1 just now. I liked it. Not much else to say about it yet beyond "Wow."

Episodes 2 and 3 are also available, but I am going to try to wait a few days before watching them. Maybe re-watch episode 1 first, see if can catch things I missed the first time.

Sweet! I think I’m on Season 3 but if I can get into a groove maybe I can catch up...

Ahhh! I thought it dropped on Friday. Looking forward to an Amos-centric season.

What is even happening?

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

I might like Firefly better without* Joss working out his issues. I'd miss his dialogue. I don't know why they'd remake a failed TV show.

*Edited to change "with" to "without," because words mean a thing.
