Speaking of which
http://www.fireflyseason2.com I don't know what to think of it. I think it's better to have a great legacy than a crappy follow-up. |

As much as it would be cool to see more FIREFLY, I don't think that this will pull it off. No mention of Joss or the cast coming back. Without them, it
just won't be FIREFLY...

Anyone get the 3 comic series Joss just did? I believe it's called Better Days. I have the first 2 (#1 just came in the mail today!), but I haven't had
a chance to read them yet. Can't wait. I miss Firefly!!!

I just became the proud owner of two of Wash's dinosaurs. They are happily thriving on my desk.

My sister has been trying to get me to watch this show since it was originally aired. A year or two ago, she forced me to put the dvds on my Netflix queue.
It has been slowly working it's way up to the top, occasionally getting bumped back down 30-40 spots because we already had too much other TV to watch on
the Tivo. It made it to the top again right when BSG ended for this year and we decided to give it a try.
I love this show!!! How could I have waited so long? And now what am I going to do, knowing that it's just a movie and then over with no hope for years and years of it on TV every week? We just finished disc 2 and the episode Jaynestown. This writing is fantastic. I keep changing my mind about which character is my favorite and that's a good sign. Every episode has had me from the first few minutes. I think I'm enjoying it more than my husband is, but he has an aversion to anything western. If there's a man with a gun on a horse or a tumbleweed, he's done with it. The fact he's still watching says a lot about how great the show is. |

There's been a couple great Joss-written miniseries comics too. One set between teh show and movie and the other after the movie.

What an odd coincidence -- I've just started disc 4, with the kid in the coffin, having worked my way through beginning in the middle of May.
Outstanding series. I think I figured out why I got thrown off when it first aired -- apparently, Fox debuted with ep 3 or so, ran at least one more ep, then backtracked and aired the pilot. I couldn't get used to these people, and I think this was shortly after Nathan Fillion had been Caleb on Buffy, and further freaked me out. More later once I finish the series and Serenity. This is an OUTSTANDING series. |

Oh that was a great ep. I loved that this show pretty much found its footing right away unlike most shows which usually get their grooves in S3.
The finale is also something very different. Joss' commentary on it is very special. You can tell this was a very important project to him with a special place in his heart. The movie is such a blast! |

I can't wait. Disc 3 should be here tomorrow, but my parents are visiting for the weekend so we probably won't have time to watch anything. Maybe
Sunday afternoon when they leave we can do a marathon.

Piranhahaha wrote: What they did was start with ep 3, the Train Job - which iirc was a script Fox asked for to give the show a more cowboy feel or something - and then ran
through the series up to Objects in Space, skipping over Heart of Gold, Trash and The Message.
Then the show was cancelled. Then they announced - and actually lived up to it - that they would air the original 2 hour pilot in the pre-Christmas dumping
slot. As glad as I was that they showed it, after seeing how good the pilot was I was even more ticked off.
Once the series hit the string of episodes with Out of Gas, Ariel, War Stories and Objects in Space they were probably the best damn show on television at the time. |

Frainkly, I think it's been strong across the board -- not a weak ep yet. I think I have a particular fondness for the one with Jayne as a folk hero and
the redheaded grifter's two eps so far.
And as always, the more Inara's the screen, the higher marks that ep deserves. Are you sure Fillion did Firefly first and then Caleb? Maybe I got them backwards, but I remember recognizing him when I first tried to watch it on air, but when I first saw Gina Torres as Jasmine on Angel, I recognized her from Firefly. Maybe I caught a Firefly repeat after the initial failed broadcasts.... I recall reading everyone loving on the show while it was on. It's nice to know why now. |

Out of Gas was probably my fave with Our Mrs Reynolds & Objects in Space close behind.

Yeah, absolutely sure that Firefly was first. Joss moved Fillion to Buffy and Torres to Angel to help keep them employed. And Caleb was nowhere near as cool as Mal.... |

Yep Jasmine was the first post Firefly (S4 of Angel)
Caleb and Hamilton were next (S7 of Buffy and S5 of Angel respectively). It was all most definitely post Firefly. Summer got her start on Angel in S2 playing a Prima Ballerina. Joss remembered her from that when it came time to cast Firefly. |
