My Friends Of A Certain Age, I say this with a GenXer's love: Firefly nostalgia is not going to be any healthier for us than Woodstock nostalgia was for our parents.

It's OK to grow and change. We will not be young again; we can let the things that were good when we were young, because we were young, go.

We don't need to our youth repackaged and sold back to us. We know what's at the end of that road.

@floe Worse, looks like a new season with the old cast.
(Not really informed, I just saw a teaser)

@DerGiga @floe @mhoye <very long sigh> animated series set between series and movie voiced by original cast. I’m interested to see what they do, it’ll be good or it won’t, but I don’t see why anyone needs to put so much weight on it. On either side.

And I’m not sure the “I put aside childish things” is healthy either.

@Colman Ok, sorry for malking you sigh that hard, and thank you for the explanation. It sounds like it could work, maybe I could enjoy it even, though I doubt I'll get the sub needed for it.
I was just too tired and sad to care. We have so much repetition and are running in nostalgic circles, that the idea smh offends me, not spec Firefly, they deserve to have fun.
It adds to the feel of smothering the next generation worse than it was done to us.

@DerGiga @floe @mhoye there are ten thousand takes on Romeo and Juliet. A couple of thousand years of religions based on rejigging the same base texts. I can allow a little more firefly.

@Colman For me it's not that comparable, and if I do: I feel it makes it worse. Those retold classics are often (pretentious?) hit or miss that say more about your local theater company.
You are absolutely right; there is no harm in a new Firefly show, and it would be stupid of you to enjoy it any less because of what I said. You just saw my breaking point with cultural stagnation. I'm aware that I'm totally unfair towards Firefly now and that it's not my actual problem. @floe @mhoye
