i can't recall anything about WY in Firefly?
not sure about Bladerunner either, but if it is, then you should include Soldier too.
wonder if they'll base it on the book Earth Hive
instead, probably concentrate mostly on the "Salvaje" bits (my favourite parts), with Waidslaw Orona being used to give context for the wider story of how an Alien made it to Earth.
If they had any sense that would be central to any Alien Earth TV series, but prequel if that's where they're going is a really bad idea. Post Aliens , maybe at the shortly after Alien 3 would be a better setting. We know about them at elite levels like Government and big Corps but the rest of society hasn't a clue. Then you could make a decent Book One inspired TV series that could play out a bit like a police procedural for the first few episodes.That was what I was thinking when I mentioned the book. That whole cult angle would be loads of fun to put in a TV show
