Book is dead?? What?

Edit. Holy crap, it’s been 10 years, and I just found out. Well… that sucks.

Sheppard Book lives. Alan Tudyck’s star hasn’t dimmed. Ron Glass is dead. Hoban Washburne is a leaf on the wind.

Sheppard Book lives

Didn’t they mount his corpse on the front of their ship to sneak past the Reavers? Pretty sure he was dead at that point.

This takes place before serenity.

Mkay - are we retconning Wash’s demise, or will this be set well enough before that? Because I’m not sure I can commit without him.

EDIT: According to Deadline, it’s set between the series and the movie in timeline. As I recall, that only gives about six months of in-universe time - I hope they can make the most of it.

Since Joss is said not to be involved, maybe they will retcon it. I kinda hope so - even though the movie was mostly good, I think that was a bad mistake made purely for shock value.

I mean, not purely shock value; it ties directly to the philosophical ideas present both throughout the movie and in the last (unaired) episode.

That said…I wouldn’t cry any tears if it were retconnned.

Please give it to the same studio that did Lower Decks! They nailed the lore and the humor.

Also they’d better get a different actor to voice Jayne

Why, what’s wrong with Adam Baldwin? Or did you mean Shepard Book?

He became an alt-right chud.

Did not know. Read my reply to someone else who replied basically the same time as you for details on my thoughts.

Shiny.

I’ve always thought an animated series would be the perfect way to continue it, amazing to see it finally happening.

My wife, who is super into and out of Firefly fandom is both happy and sad. I don’t know how to feel.
Show threadFauxPseudo Mar 16
I got into it because of her. She hasn’t revealed how she feels. Think she’s still processing it. I made sure not to say anything until somebody was official because I didn’t want to give her an emotional roller coaster
Show threadDragonTypeWyvernMar 16
I’m also into Firefly because of Crackhappy’s wife and she seemed excited when I told her last night

I dunno how you’d go about it but putting further distance from the Confederacy metaphor would also be good.

But I’m just glad there’ll be more, honestly.
