Buttheads.
Well, network suits are buttheads, that's a given. But it's a lot cheaper to put a bunch of bimobs and a camera crew on a plane to Alaska, than it is to hire writers, actors, crew, CGI bozoes, etc., for a SF show.
Anyway, if you're worried about Fox promoting Firefly, don't. I promise you, you'll see promos every ten minutes on Fox, FX, and SciFi, starting two months before the premiere. But not before then. That would be excessive!

Just like what they did with "The Shield." Man... that marketing campaign was brilliant if only because it was aired practically every other commercial on Fox and FX... and we all know what happened there (The Shield became the highest rated cable premiere in history).
That's one thing Fox has going for them... they sure do know how to advertise.

... I guess it's a Joss thing...

Well, maybe I did get carried away with the rhetoric, but we mean the same things.
Except that I think he goes beyond taking risks. It's a "risk" just to put something challenging on the air. To do the specific things he's done over the years goes beyond that. But, no, not like a deathwish - more like a conviction of invulnerability. 
As far as what everybody was saying about Andromeda, I didn't watch it enough to really know - and I haven't seen it in a long time. But I did try it when it first came out - several tries. Even from the beginning I thought it teetered on this strange edge of "almost great/almost awful" - like it wanted to be great but just couldn't be. Too many things wrong with it. It seemed like a very inconsistent show. From what you all have said it sounds like they finally have ironed out those inconsistencies and made it uniformly terrible.
Pandora - Add me to the list. I also gave DA a few tries here and there. "Something missing" about sums it up.

Evacuated houses are now being looted. Harris voters are demanding actions be taken against the looters.

Turns out the left doesn’t want open borders when it comes to their private property.

Dylan is Crichton
Beka is Aeryn
Trance is Chiana
Tyr is D'Argo
Andromeda is Moya
Rev Bem is Zhann
Lol...Harper is Rygel? Nah...Harper doesn't eat as much, but he definately can talk just like the little guy.
Playing the same part is of little consequence. It's the cast that makes the show fly. I believe this for many reasons. Like remakes of great movies that suck. And in this case, my ambivalence, mixed feelings, for the other shows and my love for Firefly.

Why Did Musk’s AI Chatbot Go After Podcast Host Liz Wheeler?

On her podcast Tuesday, podcast host Liz Wheeler said she woke up to see a post from the X AI Grok claiming she is part of a "small group of 'superspreaders’" of "fake news." In addition to Wheeler, Grok named Christian actor Kevin Sorbo and Trump administration Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for sharing "misleading content on topics like vaccines and elections." In response, Wheeler called for Musk to investigate “who wrote the code for Grok on this because it sounds like you’ve got a censorship industrial complex mole.”
Maybe AI will finish the stories?
