this speaks for itself



I don't recognize that. What is it from?

There is no way any of the Firefly cast or Whedon would work with Adam Baldwin again.

Really? I didn't know the cast had issues.

They had issues at the time.  Baldwin and Tuydik were almost in fistfights pretty commonly. 

Baldwin is a very devoted Conservative Republican.  He doubled down on that after his time on Firefly.  Whedon half the time had to play referee back when was less out about it. 

They pretty much all hate him now.  I can't imagine Firefly without Jayne.

Huh. Well just shows you that some actors can still be professional and show on-screen chemistry, even if they don't get along when the cameras are off.

The story was that they, aside from Tudyk, got along fine with him at the time. 

He got deeply devoted to the Conservative cause after Firefly, and got in with the Alt-Right when it came about.  He also supported GamerGate.

He's very educated, very well spoken, and likes to troll the left.  You can check out his twitter and see what I mean.  After a few years of him doing so even people that stuck by him like Whedon are at odds with him. 

I think he still gets along with Nathan Fillion though.  He did a guest spot on Castle.

It looks like Alcorn was already in talks with Netflix and HBO prior to this season even airing.  So I think they saw where it was going.

In all honesty I have no idea why show producers bother pitching to syfy anymore. They've made it clear that they'd rather run crappy "b" and "c" movies all day.

Arguably the best part of The Last Ship, too.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Netflix SHOULD do Firefly. :(

Meh.

I hope Netflix chokes and all the good shows start popping up elsewhere.  After professional political activists bought in & started taking over in the past year. 

Since A-Prime started funding series for IPs such as Conan and Middle Earth, maybe that shift has already begun.  O0


As for The Expanse, I always had the impression that SyFy was scraping the bottom of their bank account to fund it.  My first guess is that they couldn't continue to do so and still have money left for other stuff.  Unfortunate.

That's actually a good point to an extent. One major reason why I find Lost In Space completely unwatchable.

I mean.. when George Soros buys the largest share of Netflix, and then appoints Susan Rice to the board during the next year, it's easy to predict where Netflix' programming is going.  *puke emote*
