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.

@mhoye ... counterpoint:

Frankenstein just won an Oscar. No, scratch that, THREE oscars, nine nominations.

Which suggests that revisiting old stomping grounds can bear new and worthy fruit.

Which I'm not necessarily saying in defence of Firefly, but rather in defence of Babylon 5 and Stargate and (hopefully) The Expanse as they explore various avenues for continuing their stories.
