it's really weird to me how we're both at "maybe hail mary but this show can be saved, if we can get a deal with amazon" and "totally canceled, start destruction today". Is it that expensive to keep the sets around for another week?

I know time is money and opportunity costs rule the business but the contradiction is striking.

Whoever owns the sets and props will want to sell them off ASAP. They might wait until the end of the season to make the sales final, but I'm sure there already getting deals in place.

I'm actually kind of hoping that the cancellation news doesn't demoralize people, and people still watch

I'm also interested to see if the cancellation news and subsequent renewal campaign had any kind of effect on the viewing numbers like a streisand effect

They went there to look at the plane flying overhead. I'll just assume the show is dead since there are no announcements.

Most of them live/work in the LA area so it's not exactly a huge trip for them to go see the plane. I'm a bit surprised to see even Cara Gee down there though because she doesn't really have a US career. Who knows what it all means.

I like the rest of the books they get so much more interesting. Only 2 left to go, and they've been very consistent about one each year so wrapping it up in 2019 is so much better than most series which would have stalled out 1-2 books ago.

I was really looking forward to some casting decisions on later characters.

I mostly just don't want to deal with nerds constantly posting petitions to bring it back, years after all the sets and props are gone and the actors have new projects. I really don't want to know what the expanse's version of a browncoat will be.

The main difference between the situation with firefly and the expanse is that the expanse is really good and has a story to tell.

Firefly was quite enjoyable, and very progressive and adult in many ways.

People wishing their fav tv show be renewed may be wasting their time, but are not actually bad.
