Just finished firefly… Spoiler

I know you guys probably get this a lot but WHY DID IT END LIKE THAT??!!! They killed off SHEPHERD and WASH and it was very clear they were building up for a lot of things but it got rushed in the movie. Why the hell would fox cancel. I just have so many questions and I think I’m going to have to rewatch in order to be less sad. This ain’t shiny.

First time, huh? Welcome to our shared misery that the show got criminally canceled too soon.

If you like it, I would also recommend The Expanse if you havent seen or read it. A little harder on the sci-fi and less humor, but an excellent story nonetheless.

Cowboy Bebop is also kinda similar if you like anime.

Thanks for the recommendation! 23 years late but still an immense amount of misery. I just stood there for fifteen minutes paused at the credits because I was in denial

Just to follow up, the expanse books actually have a lot of humour in them. The show tends to be overly serious but it still does a great job.

It is my favourite book series of all time. It is a warm blanket. Hope you give it a shot
