Reply to The Art of the Musical Episode — And Why Buffy's "Once More With Feeling" Still Slays by SanderSo47
It was not only a fun musical but had also a shocking revelation at the end, which was the high point of this season. This was also the last episode where Whedon was heavily involved (he wrote the music and directed it) outside of directing the finale. Think of him what your will now, but after he "left" the show became very mediocre.

Two years ago, someone re-recorded the whole(!) musical of Hamilton with Muppet voices. I still wonder why no one at Disney jumped at that idea. Especially since Hamilton wouldn't really work as live-action, but as a Muppet movie...

Like in real life the initial pitch got meddled with until all left is the reveal at the end of the pilot. (I liked how meta that got.) It's a fun show and I liked it a lot.

The show (and fan base) was too small even for Syfy. And how often has fans rallying fans really worked? This is not the prestige project, you want to start your streaming service with. I also remember Bezos being quite giddy while announcing it, because he just got the news right before or even during the event. For me too unusual and too human behavior for a CEO if you are not a genuine fan.

I remember that he personally announced it during a public event. Why else would he announce a niche project from one of his subsidiaries?
Why did he not renew it already? Well, maybe he saw that a new season is out. Told himself he will watch it as soon as possible, but never got to it. Then when asked if Amazon should renew it, Bezos says he has to watch the last two seasons first... Now everyone's waiting.

It was basically Bezos' private project. When Firefly was cancelled back then every fan said if they had the money they would try to revive it. That's what Bezos did with Expanse. Just living a nerd's dream.

Reply to Casino Royale still gives me Goosebumps to this day.. Absolutely Brilliant. by MarloChrisSnoop
Yeah. Best modern Bond by a mile. Sad that this is really the only high in Craig's Bond career. Everything after was mediocre at best.
