Firefly/Serenity

Did anyone here watch Firefly when it was on TV? Is anyone as excited as I am for the movie Serenity? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Some Firefly info:

Some Serenity info:

Firefly repeats are being run on the Sci-Fi channel at 6 PM CST Fridays. I personally thought the series deserved to be cancelled. I do not understand the integration of the Western aspect into the show. If that had been left out, it probably would have survived. There are much better ways to show lawlessness.

I enjoyed Firefly a lot. I got the DVDs from Netflix.

The theme of a space western with a weird smart girl seems to be derivative of Cowboy Bebop though.

I saw 2 shows back to back on Saturday night on SciFi....
The movie Serenity looks ok...but Firefly, space cowboys with all these spaceships & they use old 1800's style Pistols. If you at the show as a joke...you might like it better.
What was that other show..with the dead guy & sex starved chick & the robot head...that shit was funny & way better than Firefly was.

Fireflay Was A Good Show It Just Wasnt Given A Chance To Really Develope And The Movie Looks Pretty Good. I Think You Guys Take This To Serious, Why Not Just Watch The Movie Or Show And Just Enjoy It For What It Is, An Escape From Reality And Entertainment.

Firefly was way, way cool. But I'm afraid the plot may have been a little too challenging for your average StarTrek viewer. Firefly was - for once - a scifi show that left out all the pseudo-scientific crap and focussed on the development of the main characters. Plus, it sometimes had this slightly amateurish feel that I already loved about Farscape (which didn't have nearly such a good plot but made up for it by having those insane puppets and a lot more jokes about body fluids).

Farscape was a damn good show also...

**VAMPYRE BLADE** · August 1st, 2005, 08:23 AM

I Have To Agree, I Loved Farscape. Too Many Good Shows Are Canceled And Replaced With Crap, I Am Not Refering To The Sci-fi Channel Though, Upn And Fox Are Huge For Doing That.

There are very few movies that I will spend $20 on tickets to go see in a crowded movie theater with a $7.00 popcorn and 6.00 soda, as "borrowing" a "copy" from friends (you know who you are) is just so much faster, easier and more cost effective. But, I'll not only pay $20 to see Serenity the day it comes out, I'll be happy to hand the money in person to the heads of the MPAA, Universal, and anyone else involved in continuing the saga of the crew of Firefly.

September 30th seems so far away.

We should go together.

My friends think I'm nuts because I like "crappy" sci-fi shows.
