Firefly
Anyone a fan?
I watched the film Serenity tonight, and have promptly started to acquire the Firefly series. I was just wondering if anyone watched it way back in 2002, or on a medium of your choice any time since, and what your thoughts on it were. |
Unfortunately, I didn't hear about it untill it was on DVD. I have it on DVD, and Serenity on DVD and Blu-ray.
|
I take it from the "unfortunately" that you rather enjoy them?
|
Yes, but I did not watch FireFly first run on TV, which is what you were asking about.
|
Hmm. So I did. Quickly rectified.
So, your thoughts? |
Firefly? What's it about? I've never hear of it, then again I watch T.V. maybe once a month.
|
It's very good. All the actors fit very well in their roles. The story was good, and the setting was unfortunately unique (because we need more grade A space westerns, damnit).
|
Space westerns? Like Coybow Bebop?
|
Yes. Firefly is like Cowboy Bebop from the perspective of the other side of the law, though these aren't the hardened criminals you see there -- just people trying to survive.
|
I'm pretty much still a Browncoat, even though it was three years since I last watched the original series. Whedon could probably pull off a second season even on a budget on par with Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog.

Unfortunately, he said he'd never work with the people who own the rights again.
|
I watched Firefly/Serenity recently. I enjoyed them quite a lot, though not as much as most people seem to. I wouldn't say it's the best series I've ever seen, but it's certainly a good one.
|
It doesn't have to be the best. Genuinely good TV drama is few and far between.
