True Blood reboot. Great premise but each season dropped in quality. Seems too early to reboot it but I'll be optimistic if they focus more on the mythology and integration of Vampires and less on Love Triangles.

Disney planning Firefly reboot?

HUM. Big old grain of salt here but if they kept the original cast as a more grizzled versions of themselves...there's potential

EDIT:

There is a twist here and the twist is that they see the show as ideal family-friendly programming for Disney+. My source tells me they’re planning to target it more at a PG-adventure, family audience and less at the sort of PG-13 dynamic the original Joss Whedon show went for.

Nevermind then

Well, maybe not all the original cast.

No

EDIT: Oh wait you mean Baldwin? Yeah, strawberry float that guy.

Oh yeah I wasn't even thinking of Ron Glass.

What has Adam Baldwin been up to? Must have glossed over it.

Disney+ is home to plenty of "PG-13" content so I wouldn't necessarily think we'll be seeing the Fischer-Price version of Firefly if they bring it back, but you never know.

I've never quite bought into the cult of Firefly so couldn't really care either way but I'd certainly watch it if they bring it back well.

He was part of the Gamer Gate gooseberry fool wasn't he?

No idea. I briefly read up on that at the time and it seemed kind of pathetic so I ignored it.

I mean who cares if someone that you have no affiliation with is or is not having an affair or not.

Schitts Creek :fp:

Season 5 of Better Call Saul seems a lifetime ago.

Easily the best TV show of the year followed by The Boys.

Both Normal People and The Queen's Gambit are overrated.

I'm going to watch it purely to see how they explain the recasting.

With nzbgeek down anyone got alternate suggestions?

I could send you an invite to NZBGrabit. Or maybe you just need to register and I vouch your account on the forum, I forget.

DO IT PLEASE
