We'll Hold Till They Get Back or Rebooted

In this time of reboots and remakes I thought it would be nice if they did a reboot of Firefly with a whole new crew. It could take place after the events of the Serenity movie and the main character is a member of the Alliance who in their past lost their family to Reavers. Seeing Mal’s broadcast has completely shattered their faith in the Alliance and now this captain aims to misbehave.

They choose a Firefly class ship (since they’re so many) and the crew is made up of a few former Alliance who also lost family to Reavers, and a few Browncoats. So there’s the B plot of the series, former enemies now working together.

The crew flies through the ‘verse looking to help people relocate since the Alliance is coming down hard on Independent planets. The captain of the ship also takes on jobs that directly hurt the Alliance because he knows how they think.

The original cast could come back for special appearances and who doesn’t want Mark Sheppard back as Badger?

Fear The Walking Dead - A Review

I finally watched Fear The Walking Dead and I like it. There are plenty of movies and shows I’ve watched where the apocalypse has already happened so seeing one from the beginning is one of the reasons I like the show.

Kim Dickens became “Carol” over the first several episodes and Ruben Blades is “Darryl” but what makes them better is they’re not heroes like their Walking Dead counterparts. I hope they don’t go down that road with these characters, getting headshots or Zombie Kill of The Week. Because the Walking Dead comics has heroes and villains everyone seems to be human plus. Michonne is the perfect example of what I mean.

The group seems more like real people, granted the Walking Dead were already in the midst of the zombie apocalypse but they still acted irresponsibly during the show’s current run. The episode where Rick explains the rabbit trap to Carl and then falls right into it himself.

I’m surprised Netflix doesn’t have it on streaming though. Wonder if they will later this year.
