Joss Whedon’s Firefly

[froma]

Has anyone else seen this series? I didn’t catch it when it originally aired but I rented all of the DVDs from Blockbuster. I have to say it is great, quite possibly the best TV series I have ever watched. The mix of Sci-Fi and Western elements used to make this series work perfectly, creating its own unique atmosphere. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer but, nonetheless, Firefly blows it out of the water. For those of you who don’t know, Fox inexplicably cancelled the show which prompted the movie Serenity to continue this great story.

Has anyone else enjoyed this series? I highly recommend it.

I'm, as of recently, a huge Whedonfan, and yes Firefly is one of the best TV series created In my rather bias opinion of course. I'm a sucker for well-developed characters and witty dialogue.

I own the DVD set and Serenity and saw it twice in the theaters. Its a good series with some really great music that just puts me in a great mood. Sci-Fi has been rumored as a potential new home for the series. Hopefully it comes to light.

I saw it last year in the states, now got DvD set and film. apparently Fox mucked the series up by broadcasting out of order. Film was great I hope they have more in the pipeline.

I saw a few on Sci Fi and had to go out and get the DVD set. Great stories and loved Serenity when it came out at the theaters, so I bought that when it came out too. Hope it is picked up, definately want to see more....

My gf basicly made me go and I left the theather wanting more we got the dvd, but have yet to invest in the series. More out of simple forgetfulness then anything else was going to get it for her birthday; however, they were sold out runs out to check stroes.

Yep. I am proud to say that I was there watching it when it first aired on TV, goshdarnit, and I've been a big fan since that day. Even own my own cunnin' hat (ignore the dorky smile...I was drunk on fandom that day)



I'll admit I'm more a fan of the TV show than the movie, mostly because I prefer humor with a dash of action over action with a dash of humour. And they really crammed a lot more action into the movie. Was well done, but just not what I liked the best about the 'Verse.

I watch www.whedonesque.com on a fairly regular basis, and so far it looks like the chances for any further tv or movie presence is pretty low, but the DVD *is* doing well, so hopes are not completely crushed. It has been said by Joss that there will be more canon books and comic books, at least.

No need to specify, it was clear enough

Haha, Foxeye that is a great hat! I can't decide if I like Jayne or Wash more, but 'Jayne Town' is my favorite episode by far.
