Then it is probably the wrong word for my purposes. "Fluff," "repetitive," heck, how 'bout just "bad?" Or not even bad, just not the amazing thing the first half-season felt like. The premise is a constrained version of the general <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon_Train" target="_blank">Wagon Train</a> formula, and although that formula is very popular (comprising most Star Trek shows, most The Fugitive/The Prisoner/Incredible Hulk-style shows, and such), it has a relatively moderate success rate. We hope that the Firefly-we-never-got would have been one of the good ones, but we don't really know. With this new development, we are getting a continuation, but by nature of it being a prequel to the movie, it has more limits than an actual season 2 would have. I am always hopeful, but have my trepidations.More than Firefly? Yes. What we got for Firefly was minimal. B5 worldbuilding ranged (and we could debate it extensively, but please not in this thread). The point was, it wasn't what brought people to the show in the first place, nor what made it the masterpiece it was. Lightning in a bottle can indeed strike twice (whoo boy, that metaphor got caught in the reel spindles along with the cassette tape). We shall see how it goes.Oh gawds yes, this! A bad thing in an existing franchise does not retroactively 'ruin' something you love unless you actively choose to. That cannot be stated enough.</blockquote>
