Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Honest question: So it's still worth the ride?

I loved the vibe, and the Newtonian (-esque?) space battles, but I kinda dropped off, and after the ending was spoiled for me I was like "Wow. Saved myself the time." Lol

But is the show worth it overall? I've liked things with silly/bad endings before. :p

Yes, it is still excellent even by today's standards, and you can see why so many new shows followed their big budget approach.

There are a couple small parts that can be a bit hard to get through, but for me that's just part of the situation they are in, and it is all totally worth it.

No matter what anyone thinks of the ending, it does at least have a conclusion. You are not left wondering or half expecting a sequel.

Cool! I appreciate your opinion! I should really stick to it this time. It seems besides The Expanse (still gotta watch that one) or Orville, we're simply not spoiled with great sci-fi/sci-fantasy shows anymore. :)

Oof, you've got a point there, pardner. (cries in Firefly)
