Well, I sort of abandoned it after watching the first two episodes because I was also watching the last two seasons of Buffy and Angel. But I’ve finished watching them now and I hope I’ll finish this one by the end of this weekend.

I had to rerent Disc 2 because the Disc 2 I had was messed up. Anyway, I’m through Disc 3 and on to Disc 4. Husband and I LOVE it so far. Favorite line: “Also, I can kill you with my brain.”
More than East meets West, Joss Whedon’s Firefly is West meets Space. And why not? Visually it is stunning, a lovely combination of rustic, futuristic and ethnic. The acting is superb. And the writing? Joss Whedon. Need we say more?
In the distant future, earth no longer exists, but we now have the capacity to “terraform” planets. Central planets are inhabited by the wealthy, while border planets resemble the American equivalent of the Western frontier. Aboard the firefly ship Serenity, we meet Captain Malcom Reynolds, a former military sergeant who lost his faith in the Battle of Serenity Valley (his ship’s namesake). Now, along with his crew (including first mate Zoe, pilot Wash, doctor Simon, “companion”/high class prostitute Inara, mechanic Kaylee, mercenary Jayne and preacher Book), Reynolds travels border planet territory, taking odd jobs, both legal and illegal, in order to keep fuel in their tanks and food on the table.
Along the way, they face their share of problems including the Alliance/Government, Reavers (cannibals, in short) and mysterious men doning blue gloves. Oh, and there are no aliens. Can’t get the theme song from my head, also written by Joss.

It’s a shame that this show was cancelled when so many bad shows remain on tv. I was a sceptic, but now that I’ve seen the show, I wish it was still on the air.

I bought this set and Serenity because of the reviews online. After about a week I have 1 DVD of this set left and while I’m looking forward to seeing the movie, I’ll be sad that it’s over.

That’s right, it’s changed my life! Because that what good television does to me, damnit!
Seriously, this was the best friggin show. EVERYONE who’s ever seen it, loves it. How in hell did it get cancelled?
I thought the characters were very well developed and likeable; scenaros weren’t of the ridiculous, and I was really hoping to see more of the Reavers. Capt. Mal butt nekkid, not too bad. The entire cast was awesome, especially Ron Glass (xoxoxo to you, Ron!)
I HIGHLY recommend this series.

Not nearly as bad as I was expecting…

I finished watching all the episodes with DH a few weeks ago. I’m really excited to see Serenity. I’m disappointed that such a good series was cancelled so quickly – I’m sure there’s some cable channel that would be willing to pick it up, but I guess that’s just not the way TV works. Too bad.

There isn’t enough good that I can say about Firefly. A Space Western with more heart than you can shake a stick at. Given three seasons this show could have been an all time favorite. Honestly, it already is and the first season was never completed.

Greatly suspicious of the hype, but boy was it worth being proved wrong!

LOVED it – and I normally hate shows with spaceships.
I really loved it, as much or more as any Whedon classics.
