Firefly was a better show.

Firefly was a better show.

Wasn't that canceled after a couple of seasons?

Firefly was a better show.

Word.

Firefly was cancelled by FOX after they ran the episodes out of order and nobody could follow what was going on. Then FOX in their infinite wisdom refused to release the rights so another network could pick it up. Can't let a compeditor take a great show and prove the FOX exec's had their head up their 6.

I couldn't agree more.  Like I said I was surprised to see Serenity in BSG.

There are 3 homages in the miniseries, The Serenity, a Constitution class starship in the "rag tag" fleeet, and the Agro ship from Silent Running

What? No Eagle from Space 1999?

[CyranoAH]

Two great series that were cancelled due to poor marketing: Firefly and Arrested Development (I hear they are going to make a movie based on the second one as well).

Heh not that I'm aware of...there was one in a episode of Futurama once...

Love that show, I use the theme for my ringtone on my mobile for calls from home, and have 2 eagles - a Dinky version 2 transporter from the late 70's (although not in as perfect condition as the pic), and a new 2006 product enterprise freighter

The  Constitution class starship is really hard to see. I only spotted it when someone posted a blown up pic from a still. and it was still a fairly blurry/grainy pic. BUT, it is in there.
Didnt know about the serenity. The agro ship has made an appearance in several episodes IIRC

Yes and the fans petitioned to get it back and they made a movie.

I doubt that will happen with BSG. At least this version.

[JB88]

i've started watching the full series beginning with the first season for the couple weeks or so..at the end of the second season.


only thing missing?  i wish the cylons had a sense of humor...ressurection punking could be quite hilarious.

back in the pool of goo:  "dangit 6!!!  yer gonna pay for that." 

[WilldCrd]

This latest episode was a bit of a letdown. I would have thought they would have explained some more things. Instead we see Adama wrestling with the idea of abandoning ship 
It seems that they did set more stuff up and I guess it will be a grand finale....or atleast I HOPE so
Plugging anders into the ship and reviving him only to hear him spout gobbeldy-gook like the hybrieds do....
kinda sad that I got my excited after the show watching the preview for next week  :confused:Some of the fans on the BSG boards take the show a lil bit to seriously and IMNSHO aren't firing on all thrusters   

[soda72]

Yeah the last couple of episodes haven't been all that exciting. 

[BaDkaRmA158Th]

Pfft, Space:Above and beyond whops all these shows butt's.



Well when it comes to good ship designs and good action.
Space marines! com'on!


The suits,the guns the ships the effects, everything was great.

[Tango]

Space Above and Beyond was a much better show.

A couple of clips from one of the best episodes.
