Geeks Assemble! SciFi Thread

Rumors flying that Disney+ is looking at a Firefly reboot. But possibly trying to keep it to a PG rating, and not including Joss Whedon? :thinking: :pensive:

What?!? I’m on my millionth Firefly rewatch and this news scares me…

@RosaCanDo id actually be kinda bummed for a reboot unless its the original cast at least.

Same…even then it would make me nervous. Reboots are tricky.

Supposedly it’s understood the fans want the original cast. But those other two things, man… I’m skeptical.

Loved it! It was super-cool for the remake to bring back Jane Badler and Marc Singer!

Loved Jane Badler back in the day. Sad that she lost her son to overdose last year.

I really loved Stargate SG-1 when I was a kid. Its funny cause the sci-fi shows and movies I’ve watched I have really enjoyed, but I haven’t actually watched any Star Trek or Star Wars! Reading this thread makes me wonder if I should though… :thinking:
I also remember liking the movie The 5th Element when I was a kid.

Edit: sorry, I lied haha! I have watched ONE of the Star Wars movies - - Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith (Episode III). It was good.

The Verge did a product review of the TemPad. :rofl:

Minor, indirect spoilers if you’re behind on Loki. None for today’s final episode though.

Ok folks I am a couple years behind here but just catching up… who has watched Star Trek Lower Decks and Star Trek Strange New Worlds?

I love those shows :star_struck:

(And the Lower Decks - Strange New Worlds crossover episode cracked me up! Hot Spock is irresistible :yum:)

I haven’t seen any of the newer trek series. I refuse to get yet another streaming channel just to watch trek shows.

Last scifi series I watched was The Expanse

I’ve never seen The Expanse but I just looked it up: it looks good! It looks like I’d like it. The characters sound like they’d be engaging. (It doesn’t look like I have a streaming service with that series though :confused: and I’m like you, I’m not interested in a bill for another streaming service :expressionless:)
