My wife used to fall for every Firefly season 2 hoax on social media in the past because she wished it to be true. It was very funny when I could come to her to announce there will be a season 2.
Mixed feelings about it being animated. The older I become, the more I have trouble relating to painted characters, no real clue why, so I couldn't even enjoy things I should have enjoyed like Arcane.
Also, of course, no Shepherd Book :-(
Anyway, I hope I'll like it. Really loved season 1.
They can probably get a Shepherd Book voice actor much easier than a Ron Glass doppelgänger for a live show.
With AI they good probably replicate it perfectly. For good and bad.
Just bad imo. No reason to do that when there are many talented voice actors out there who will do just fine.
The way I see it: I'd rather have animated characters than everyone looking like a fossil. Really put a damper on Star Wars Ep. 7 for me (among other things), but Harrison Ford didn't look or feel like Han Solo. I'm glad they're not doing the played-out "aging crew" trope with Firefly. If it's animated, the characters can still run as far and jump as high as they could 20 years ago.
I just call it "The Season" because there was no Season II.
There wasn't even a whole season 1 :(
> will be
This is just an announcement that they want to make it. Nobody has signed up to make even the pilot. It's not even a kickstarter.
