Firefly

Farscape will come back any day now…

…any day…

I remember watching sea quest when it was on TV, it seemed alright in my member’berries our Christian family just grumbled at Darwin the dolphin lol

Didn’t they…get like transported to space? And the random sea pirates that had subs that could best this insane sub

I do want to know if Joss Whedon will be involved. Like the Buffy reboot, his stories and writing are what helped shape the series. I would still watch it if the old characters came back, but I would be worried as to the level of the writing.

Different imo

Both awesome

Other than.. Sci-Fi they just are too different - perhaps Dark Matter is a good match up to FireFly yet still both ended early… even Farscape ended early.

Heck I kind of put Lexx up to more like Farscape than Firefly is like it.

Firefly has an advantage and disadvantage because it was cut super short… but like it or not the movie is the wrap up of the og’s arch - just like end of GoT is the ending even if we dont like the how it got there.

But this is just ramblings - any of the 4 shows I just mentioned I could go for a rewatch almost anytime…

DSV went off the rails in the later seasons. 1st season was mostly "grounded" stuff - geopolitics and sea pirates and helping with disasters/rescues (basically normal Navy stuff cept in the future!). Then 2nd season started to introduce shit like time travel and aliens and Roy Scheider said "fuck this" and left the show. Then they replaced him with Michael Ironside for the final season and also some other cast members, but the ratings were in the dumpster and it got canceled. I remember they used Video Toaster for the CGI in the show, which a lot of those 90s shows also used because it was a cost effective way to make CGI effects at the time.

If you watch Seaquest vs Farscape it is an incredible case study of what a show lead can accomplish with vs without upper management meddling. It is almost hard to believe Rockne S. O’Bannon had anything to do with DSV.

I think O'Bannon later produced Defiance on Syfy. I actually liked that show - it could be uneven at times because it had difficulties juggling storylines and the planned game/show synergy sort of stopped after the 1st season for the most part after the game flopped, but the lore and worldbuilding were pretty awesome (basically an alien colonization fleet arrives at Earth after traveling for centuries at subluminal speeds and eventually humans and the aliens begin to fight and alien terraforming technology accidently goes rogue after the alien fleet blows up and and massively changes the Earth and basically everyone is living in a post-apocalyptic world with pockets of civilization). In the later seasons the budget got so bad at times I'm pretty sure Seaquest had better CGI.
