Alex's death on the show came after the actor who played him was fired after a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him emerged in summer 2020.

Karma Comedian posted:The actor that played the pilot, that's why they killed his character off IMO, I thought it worked pretty well in the plot. The books also have a "High G maneuvers are dangerous!" moment that quite suddenly killed off an important character. But it's a different one. I thought they did it on purpose to establish the same thing but keep it sudden. Blurry Gray Thing fucked around with this message at 05:24 on May 29, 2023 |

Despite the eventual fan love for the series, I have some pretty strong memories that it was NOT popular leading up to the launch, specifically for the comparisons it was getting to anime/Outlaw Star and the 'girl in a suitcase'(c)(tm)(pat.). But there was a long history of Western, um, Space Westerns before and during that time, too, that the show had just as much similarity to. But keep in mind, the anime fandom was a lot more protective of itself post-Lion King, so everything was a complete anime rip off after that if they shared a single element. Van Helsing equally got the 'anime ripoff' argument. Pretty much, it was being written off by a ton of the geek fandom pretty much instantly. It seems like Firefly really only took off in a big way AFTER its cancellation, and a lot of the same demographic who hated it before it launched were now always the original fans. DVD made it massively accessible, the epics about the Fox mishandling of the show, etc. It created a legend and a mythos that THIS could have been the next Star Trek or Star Wars if the studios weren't run by stupid people.

Rewatched the baseball ep & it’s fun, I liked how Odo is ultra precise about strike zones but allows runners to totally leave the field of play without being called out. olives black posted:don't watch DS9's alternate universe episodes because they suck It’s one of my favorite shows & held up rock solid on a rewatch… but yeah the first alt universe ep is passable then they get bad, especially as they don’t pay off or build the larger story.

Firefly was ok and it probably had the potential to even become almost good if it had been on a few years but the way they always called the universe the ‘verse annoyed the hell out of me. OP I’m thinking about the ‘verse now and I am loving furious

Oh god, that's what the Star Citizens nerds are ripping off of isn't it? Also "the 'verse" is such a dumb name. What's in the 'verse? The 'laxy? In that we have the 'olar 'tem. And the 'rth.
