At least half of Firefly's episodes were poo poo. That show had a lot of potential but that's all.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I think that you guys are discounting that in a reality where Firefly wasn't cancelled Tim Minear would never have been consistently fired from other shows.

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.

I'm sad The Expanse was cancelled :(

I liked its vision of a future in which China has equal cultural dominance, everyone speaks a smattering of Chinese, yet there aren't any Chinese people.

They swore in Chinish? That is not exactly dominance is it.

Oh hang on, the foxy doctor from Atlantis wore one of those robes that got called out as cultural appropriation lately! I see what you mean now.

That was back when you could say your show did something and people were so desperate for a win that they accepted it.

It was a baby step towards American tv recognizing multiculturalism, in other words. It's 16 years on now so no surprise that it doesn't have the relevance it once had.

The expanse being shot in Toronto, the cast is pretty accurately reflective of the population of Toronto. While Some American cities are more diverse, from my experience, they also tend to be a little more ghettoized between cultural groups. Not really sure why.

I've been looking all over the internet for this answer and no one seems to know. It's really weird how in this day and age that sort of information isn't readily available. Will it be up in an hour? A day? next week? No idea.

Ah, good to know. It would be cool if the various paid subscription services would like give a countdown or anything to indicate when they release the episodes.
At least I know not to sit here hitting f5 on youtube all night.

It's still insane though how hosed up and obsolete the current TV distribution system is. I paid for the show but can't see it until midnight? Yet I'm probably going to be able to see it in about 20 min for free in a way that won't count for any proper views. They'll get their official view again tomorrow, but the whole system seems custom designed to push people into not watching it live or paying for it.

Like video game piracy was basically "solved" by making games super easy to buy and get from the comfort of your own home the second they are released. Sell TV shows like video games, multiple competing distribution platforms that all get the same products at the same moment.
