Firefly (Page 1 of 6)

yeah, it's totally a case of fox not knowing what to do with a show.  they really blew that one.  just like they keep f'ing with arrested fevelopment.

lol yeah plus the movie sucked.

i'm glad i read the forums here.... i really enjoyed firefly.... and that was after watching the film serenity
of course at that time i had no idea the film was a follow-up... i have now seen all the series, and the film again.... and it really is a cool world that joss whedon has thought up....hopefully they will make some more.... altho i've seen somewhere its going to be direct-to-dvd or something?

I was very excited about the show when I first saw the promos on Fox in the spring before it aired.  When my wife and I watched the first episode I gave up after about 10 minutes.  I was very disappointed.  What is this, a sci-fi show or a western?  Well my wife kept watching (thankfully) and I started watching again a few weeks later.  After another few episodes I was hooked.  When we were watching the pilot (Serenity), they advertised "Fastlane" next Friday at 8PM.  Wait a minute that's Firefly's slot.  Went to go look at the Fox site to see where they moved it to and found out we had just watched the last episode they were airing.  I started thinking "Crap, it's Alient Nation all over again".  Fox has a good sci-fi show and they can it.  Of course why not, who wants to make money.  Or at the very least entertain people.

I think the hype has hurt the show for newcomers.  It is certainly not one of the best shows ever made.  But I feel it was one of the most entertaining and had an incredibly deep story for each character for such a short lived show.

My guess is former alliance operative just like the big bad villain in the Serenity movie -who btw is also the coolest villain ever in my opinion; My only hope is that we get to know about that particular storyline in Joss' new Serenity comics; They should take place after the first comic series and before the movie from what I heard... Anyone has more juicy details on that?

Firefly was something i downloaded and stashed away for a rainy day, having heard virtually nothing about it. and a year later when that rainy day came i had the biggest smile on my face, because the show was so good, then i kicked myself in the arse for waiting so long. then i found out it had been cancelled. then heard stories of how and why it got canned.

the horror.... the horror....

has anybody seen the documentary 'Done The Impossible'... am downloading it at the moment, but would be curious to hear some thoughts on it...

From where are you downloading it? Me also want...

hehe... coolest superpower ever: forgetfulness...

and enjoy, Firefly is some damn good fun... The Train Job, Ariel & Objects In Space are all awesome episodes... the rest are super good too, but those three rock...

For Summer Glau, start watching the sarah connor cronicles.

And btw the opening in firefly owns! I had it as a ringtone for, like, a year..

in what format?... here's a midi file i had as a ringtone a while back... quite a while in fact. i'd hazard a guess, you'd find some polyphonic or whatever for newer phones... [i'm old school when it comes to mobile phones ]

edit: Done The Impossible was interesting, certainly not essential viewing... not nearly enough cast/creator stuff IMO... one thing that did catch my eye though is at the end Joss has a small clear backpack... wondering if it's the same one he mentions in the 'Once More With Feeling' commentary/doco thingy??? hmm, off to dig out some Buffy DVDs methinks...

Sadly, no. But I "made" one for you. Here you are, enjoy:
