All these remakes, reboots - and we can't get a continuation of Firefly or a Serenity sequel? Also, The Nevers was treated terribly unfairly.
Oh, well.
At least the 'verse gave us The Expanse.

Phone swiped back in March—15 Pro Max gone, plus some other things lost for good. Insurance will cover the hardware, but it lit a spark. Since then: 5 features, 1 short, a pilot. Still running on m&m's and ion. New phone waits… maybe after the next spec.
