A mini episode of Doctor Who, featuring a familiar face. Looks like all those rumours were pretty much spot on. Looking forward to next week and the Time War!
Ten years since Firefly was aired....and cancelled?
Ouch.
There are plenty of more important reasons to be critical of Rupert Murdoch, but in the scope of Imagined Realms, Fox's decision to kill off Firefly is number one.
Although I appreciate his talent, I'm not a Joss Whedon fanboy at all. I never much watched Buffy or Angel (although there was one episode of the latter I saw by chance that described how he first came to the hotel he and his crew based their operations in that I thought was quite moving).
But Firefly was something else. Its mix of American Western and Chinese culture grounded in a future where the 'good guys' had lost was enough to hook anyone immediately.
I only came to it by accident by its spin off movie, Serenity - something I decided on the spur of the moment to see one cold winter's day.
And although I had no idea as to the back story or the characters, I walked away thinking it was a blast.
I quickly tracked down the short lived series and devoured them all in one sitting.
So anyway, it has been ten years, and the cast and some of the crew reunited at this year's San Diego Comic Con.
Here it is for those of us that could never attend in person:
Just a silly take on the first two seasons of Game of Thrones (some spoilers if you haven't been watching) done in the style of ancient computer gaming...
