@brianokken idk, he said all the DLSS5 naysayers are absolutely wrong, not absolutely right, so that still seems like he’s carbon-based, even if he’s too rich for a William Gibson character to accept him as human.

@ubernostrum On the plus side I’m a middle aged white dude with pre-check, so… idk. YMMV.

@pkw That they got acquired? Not really. More surprised/disappointed by who did the acquiring.

@Heartofcoyote @Colman I know, I know, I’m the guy who, any time someone makes the “how do reavers clean their spears” joke, still says “Too soon!”
But I’m still happy to give it a chance.

Apparently the new #Firefly has everything except a distributor lined up; they’re asking for fans to show engagement on a particular Instagram post to help sell it, so go forth and like, comment, share, etc. to keep flying: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DV6Js56jT3F

A glimmer of media joy in the hellscape: there is going to be a #Firefly animated series, set between the end of the original show and the #Serenity movie.
Ooo, character designs: https://deadline.com/2026/03/nathan-fillion-firefly-animated-series-development-1236754122/
