I am personally against it despite Sam Esmail’s involvement (I really liked Mr. Robot). It’s not that I don’t think it could be a good show, it’s that NBC has plenty of other properties from former science fiction shows they could redevelop, but they’re redeveloping this one instead.
If they want to reboot a show for the third time, why not V considering the first reboot was so disappointing? Or maybe go for the 90s nostalgia and reboot SeaQuest DSV or Earth 2.
And then there’s all the Sci-Fi Channel/SyFy properties they have at least some stake of ownership in.
I realize asking for something original is asking too much these days, but can’t we at least do something other than Battlestar Galactica every 20 years?
I’m willing to be open-minded and give the show a chance if it gets produced, but I don’t think it should be produced in the first place.
A spinoff of an older River who has her shit together and picked up a lot of Mal-isms and is leading a new crew on the old firefly? Occasional psych-karate mixed on? Fuck it I’m in.
Basically it was a cool universe had room for more stories.
Also if people want there’s a book series called the black ocean and the author basically said he finished watching firefly and was like fuck it I want more like that. Its pretty funny instead of anything like FTL or universal translators he just has a wizard do it so its like the crew of firefly except to travel in space they need to keep a cranky beer drinking old wizard happy.
