Not to denegrate Serenity since I think the film was fantastic but looking back I now get the feeling that Objects in Space did it better best when ending Firefly as opposed Serenity. It also reminds of how Prophecy Girl was more of a better series finale than Chosen when it came to Buffy.
For those who don't who she is, she played Jamie Foxx love interest in the show The Jamie Foxx Show (90s). Anyhow I wish her character (Henrietta) played a much larger role in the show as recurring character as someone working with royals.
Stargate Universe, Terra Nova, Star Crossed, Firefly, The Tomorrow People, Model's Inc. are just some examples of what I'm talking. These are the types of shows that should be seeing at least 5 seasons.
Seriously who are making these decisions in the boardrooms.
I remember when I first watched Grimm how freakishly scary the scenes where you see Diana pushing on Adalind's womb was, the first thing going through my mind was thank God that this doesn't happen in real life. This begs to ask why we didn't see this with Kelley
I would hope for it to be a spin-off that focuses on the crew of the NX-02 Columbia (taking place during the during the Terra Prime arc), though with Ada Mari being recasted with an act about her age.
I point to how sci-fi shows today are basically structured and written today as if they're movies as opposed TV shows. In fact would say Serenity offers a clear idea given how relatively different in tone it was from the show.
First off I want to say that my history with the show isn't that long because I only got into the show via CometTV (decided to give it a chance after watching a few season 5 episodes) just last year.
Anyhow more I rewatch the show more the appreciation I have for this show.... the storytelling, the characters and most importantly the actors. Yes the show has its flaws but its one most rounded and underappreciated shows in my opinion. Overall its quite a shame that it didn't received the kind of mainstream noteriety as Supernatural, Buffy, etc
Instead of limiting the Adalind/Hank thing to 2 episodes I would've made it an arc that played out in every episode between Beeware and Love Sick just to build up the plot.
There's absolutely no way I can see Joss Whedon making these shows work in the age of short of seasons when you consider the fact these shows needed stretched out seasons to tell a coherent narrative. To further add I don't think either of them would've survive beyond 1 season.
Generally speaking I'm not really into reboots but seaQuest dsv is something I think Amblin/Universal should take second stab at.
I say this because it's crazy how much TV has changed in the last 30+ years
What got me thinking me about this was the apparent demise of the YA (young adult) style of TV.
Anyhow given how BH90210 defined Gen X and Millennial it begs ask if we'll ever see something generational like the show again for today's young adults.
They should've ended up as a plot couple if you were to ask me as opposed to doing him wrong. Makes me even wonder if the availability of the actress influenced me situation
You really see it in the way Juliette takes solace in Renard after she became a hexenbeist, even unconsciously sleeping with him
Did you know that this episode and the Grimm episode "Till Death Do US Part" basically follow the same plot, but in a different manner?
He was just one of those actors I could see fitting into the show as a regular.
- Did Adeline find a ritual to remove her hexenbeist powers
- With black claw of the picture did Hank forgive Zuri and they got back together
- Did Juliette and Sean end up together given the dropped some clue that both might stay have feelings forever
The merely just managed to blend in the real world for thousands of years.
Been rewatching it for the first time in years and I'm still amazed how fantastic it was for it to be cancelled
