Hmmm... I always thought he stole it from the Original Trek which was often sold as a western and "Wagon Train to the Stars." I always figured he took that notion literally and ran with it.Joss Whedon stole that from an RPG he was running...

Oops. There's been a memory hole incident methinks.
The TVA has been pruning variant timelines again!
I’ve just finished a rewatch of Mando (doing an episode per day) courtesy of my Quest 2’s virtual cinema, and I think the series really holds up on the big screen - and I saw lots of details that I missed when watching on my telly. It’s put me in the mood for some more “proper” Star Wars so I’ve rooted out my Thrawn trilogy books from the 90’s - I’ll see if I can’t prune the last three films from my timeline and replace them with the written word

The Expanse was good for a couple of seasons, but it's really gone to rubbish since Amazon took it over.
That's my opinion anyway. YMMV.
The Mandalorian really strokes my Star Wars nostalgia (something the sequels failed to do), and it's good ol' fashioned fun. Space Opera, sure, but for those of us who love the genre, it's pretty great!
As long as they don't insert the "Magic Hyperdrives" from the post-Disney movies into the various TV-series, I can safely pretend they're part of an alternate timeline.
Which is a pity, because I otherwise liked Rogue One, and the Force Awakens wasn't that bad an opening for the Sequel Trilogy.

Have to agree with you there. Funny that the Syfy version is the better one. And in the end Amazon didn't even give it more seasons than Syfy did.
I'm liking the new ship. It's like he traded his DBX for a Courier.
