I remember hearing that they brought her on the first show to consult but didn't give her any kind of actual authority and she butted heads with them a lot over the story. I've always suspected she suddenly threw a sequel out knowing Hulu would pick it up to try to force the shows narrative in the directions she wanted by forcing it to meet a sequel's plot.

I didn't read the book, sounded awful, but I saw many that did speculating she used a ghost writer. But then again I hated the Oryx and Crake sequels so my feelings about her as a sequel writer are already poor.

    The fact that people change a lot is a big problem for me with Firefly to begin with, because I loved Firefly, but...I was like 17 when I watched it. I'm in my late 30s now. I do not feel the same about it anymore already, in ways where I don't think it should come back at all.

    I know, I was one back in the day and I remember the campaigns. Doesn't really change my feelings about TV show advertising now. There's a big difference between fans begging for a show to come back and fans being told to beg for a new show to be funded.

    Seems like they have a pilot script and no funding. This was way too much hype and preamble for an idea they're still shopping around

    People on reddit always make the assumption that bots are all going to be angry divisive posts or posts advertising products but this is by far the most common form of reddit bot I see: the kind that just posts a bunch of one sentence generic positivity comments for easy upvotes where every post has the exact same grammatical format. My favorite is when like four of them post in the same thread with barely reworded versions of the same comment. I've gotten a good read on them at this point and I notice them constantly.
