7 years is a sweet spot with American TV. If they don't wrap it up after 7 season it just becomes shit. X-Files should have ended at 7. Stargate SG-1 at 7. In fact a lot of them were written for a good closing at 7 years but studios just have the need for enshitification for that ad money.
Think of the legendary good shows that knew when to end at 7 years. Or 5 years.
6 seasons and a movie
Firefly only got half a season and then a movie 2 years later!
Threshold got half season and no movie.
Showbiz executives do stupid things.
I want a new firefly show with the original cast and I want it to be about everything that happened between the finale and the start of the movie. No de-aging. Everyone's inexplicably older in this flashback than they were in the movie.
Except Wash
No spoilers! The events of the movie haven't happened yet
