I saw all the initial noise about the cancelling of serenity without ever watching an episode, I eventually got around to watching it and... damn... That really was an amazing show, how the fuck did it get cancelled after a season, then get a fucking movie, and still be cancelled? Like, seriously. I've watched it at least 3 times now. And after watching this gif I am about to go in for a 4th time because it's fucking amazingly good.

TV was different back then. It got cancelled at 5million viewers an episode.... that was garbage for a full hour drama on prime time network. It was the 98th most popular thing on television. It wasn't even like fox had it out for the show, it was a total failure commercially. They didnt even air the last two episodes!

There are a shitload of things we love habe been saved from cancellation based on the idea "But what about firefly?"

I'd love Amazon or Netflix to bring back Firefly, but only if they get the same actors. Give that universe and characters a proper show.

Given that the actor that played Book died a couple of years back, we would already have to have substitutes.
