I mean - I love the Mandalorian and I can't wait to see where they go from the end of the first season, I would definitely say that first season Mandalorian is better than first season TNG (the only one I've recently re-watched), but against the full series'? Not too sure on that one. I suspect recency bias.
Look, take away my Nerd Credits, but Firefly was NOT a good series. It had a great cast, and the time I was a huge fan of Whedon's, but even at the time it was airing live, it was terrible and I stopped watching after being disappointed by the episodes I saw. In the future, the Earth is destroyed, and of the two majority cultures that survived, everyone decides their going to go literal old-timey American Western?? He stole the original Star Trek's "wagon train to the stars" theme by making it both more literal and somehow making it LESS progressive towards women and minorities than a show made in the 60's! It aired at a time I had taken a class on the history of the American Western and it was more white guy bullshit in so many ways.
But funny enough, I thought Serenity was a very good movie. I think it worked better when Whedon had time restrictions and story limits.

it's live airing was not helped by the fact that it was aired out of order and with misleading promotional advertising. The network wanted a fast-paced action comedy, not a contemplative space opera. So it was quite the confusing and frustrating ordeal for people trying to watch it.
BSG reboot is still one of the best TV series ever, Sci-Fi or no...
This morning I helped a Summer Tanager hunt. He would sit in the tree above me while I was mowing and swoop down on the grasshoppers that I scared up.
Man, that last season really did everything it could to undo the first 3.
Not Game of Thrones levels of crushing your legacy for sure, but it was not a great way to go out.
At first glance I saw “teenager” and the second half of the sentence sounded much more impressive.

Getting your addressed tattooed inside your lip in case you're found lost?

Nope.
Is that the underside of a flappy hootie?

You wish. Arm.
Underside of a flappy arm, got it
it’s super cute!
Did Harpo Marx name himself after Harpocrates the greek deity of secrets and silence, or was it a brilliant coincidence? OR...was Harpo the GOD himself?!
well most of us have been hanging out now for a decade or longer..I've seen people get tattoos that meant a lot less 
Looks amazing!
Looks amazing!I got a Pikachu on my leg because I love that little guy. No deeper meaning than that
He was named after his ability to play the Harp. He played very well. But he played it completely wrong.
BRILLIANT COINCIDENCE THEN...or he was the modern day incarnation of Harpocrates, I'm good with either!
Never thought I'd see the day someone would tattoo something I drew on them. Love it!
Please tell me your phone flipped it, and you didn't actually have it tattooed backwards.

"What does that tattoo symbolize?"
"Well it all started with this video game webcomic called PvP..."
The explanation part's gonna be like the Star Wars crawl, snaking all the way down his arms and back like some kind of Yakuza sleeve. Maybe even criss-crossing back and forth under the hooties.

Full body suit!
You alright, cheesy?
Just been stuck at home with a lot of time for self-reflection.
Don't confuse depressive negative swirling maelstroms of thought with proper self-reflection. You're not perfect, but you have worth and matter to people, and I'm sure you've made positive contributions to lives you're not even aware of. Take care of yourself man.
