    • Damn.
      Well, let's hope Netflix picks it up.      Continuity
    • Firefly again?eryx
    • Haha, I was thinking the same.Continuity
    • Happens every fucking time a truly great sci-fi show comes along. And this one is vastly superior to that POS Discovery.Continuity
    • it's hard to say where it can go really. storyline pretty much came to an end at the end of s2hans_glib
    • You know it's based on a 8 book series right?i_monk
    • Is Summer Glau in this show?CyBrainX
    • Is this really worth comparing to Firefly? Honest question.monospaced
    • There are thematic similarities and obviously they're both set in space largely about characters on the run, but that's about it.i_monk
    • it's time to close that channel.
      lol@Firefly i don't think so, Expanse is dark, slow and heavy, Firefly was optimistic and easy to and consume...      sted
    • I don't think the comparison to Firefly was meant in the creative or executional sense, more so the fact it's a popular sci-fi series being cancelled.Continuity
    • Oh. I see. I was hoping the comparison was about the obvious fact that firefly was fucking amazing and was canceled prematurely, killing one of the greatestmonospaced
    • potential sci fi series in decades for no truly good reason. My question was really this: is the expanse really as good as firefly?monospaced
    • Apples and oranges. Firefly was a light-hearted romp with self-contained 'problem of the week' episodes. The Expanse is a dark-ish serialised thing ...Continuity
    • ... which is completely different from Firefly thematically. Both are excellent in their own contexts, and can't really be compared to the other.Continuity
    • That said, both employ similar a conceit, with the evolution of language being a mish-mash of all sorts of things to form a sort of patois.Continuity
    • This applies to Belters, though, not Terrans or Martians (Expanse), whereas in Firefly it's used throughout.Continuity
