Did any of you watch it?
I do not watch TV, but a buddy bought the DVD set for the first season and pretty much made me watch it.
Fantastic show. I can not believe it got canceled!

GtoRA2: Did any of you watch it?
I watched it - at least the eposides they aired out of those they filmed.

It was not PC. There was too much violence for liberals' taste. besides, the heroes are basically defeated secessionists opposed to the central government.

did you like it?
I was a bit sceptical at first, the western flavor of it was odd, but I ended up really getting into it.
-
I caught a few episodes, it was pretty decent.
-
I enjoyed it. I didn't know they'd released it on DvD... thanks for the tip.
MiniD
-
Yes, I liked it.
It is a show about liberty-loving people surviving the defeat of their cause.
I will buy the DVD set for my children to watch when they grow up a bit.

Never heard of it.

The DVD set rocks, I need to return mine though, disk 4, one of the episodes skips really bad, and my buddies does not.

RPM
If you are on netflicks, you should check if they have it. It was really good. Depressing it is not on the air now.
Finnaly Sci fi that is not PC in space... Er I mean Startreeeek the the next geek generation....
On a side note, the DVD for this was 39.99 at BB, All the startrek Show DVDs where 109.99. lol I gues we should stop calling startrek fans trekkies or trekkors and call them Starsuckers...
Talk about raping you fans.

the best science fiction series ever on tv as far as im concerned. warts and all.
"Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me"
Joss Whedon
just plain great.

It's the only television show to win 2 emmy's in the first season and get cancelled.
But I bought the DVD the first chance I had. However, I heard that they are planning on making a movie out of it. I don't know how though.

It is a great show.

There was a petition web site to try and get the UPN to pick it up. I bet that does not pan out though.

It was in a pretty bad slot for a new show and got cancelled after only 13 episodes.

At first it was a bit cheesy, but as it went on that seductress and her nice body, got me going.. the stories got better, and some of the action was decent. The acting was par, it was a different show nonetheless... the show I was mad they had canceled was John Doe, they did the same thing they did with firefly BURN FOX!
-
Man those are some of the best line ever!!
now I am depressed. FOx has its head way to far up their own asses
-
It seemed cheesy because the FOX tv execs couldn't help but muddle up everything. The eps were aired out of order (the series premier was the last ep aired on FOX). The promotionals started out with a bang and were promptly stamped out.
Now that the DVD set is out Whedon is hard at work getting a movie made (and word has it he may have cinched a deal with Paramount).
-
Only problem with a movie is thats two hours every few years at best!
Death to FOX and UPN!!

He's hoping it'll help relaunch/revive the series ..... but not on FOX. :D

Adam Baldwins Char was awsome on the show!
LOL thanks for the link
I loved the Jane town episode.
And the part where he tries to trade the captian for his favorite gun for the girl! Awsome!
-
saw a couple eposides, it was ok. Never watched enough to get into the plot though.
-
Releasing the DVD is a both an inexpensive move and a smart one. Friday night has been a death slot for many shows on Fox. About halfway through the season I flipped it on, and yeah, it was pretty compelling.
of course, the formula is the anti-startrek: The captain is a great war loser; the ship a creaky old boat used primarily to smuggle contraband; the crew includes prostitutes, fugitives, thugs, psychotics and insecure males. I don't think PC had much to do with it (please, we're talking about Fox here), so much as bad ratings coupled with what probably was a pretty significant budget.
Come to think of it, while futuristic Dystopia is a formula that sells pretty well on the big screen, I can't think of many TV series that play that angle. It's usually some optimistic crap.
-
Dinger,
I was saying Starkrap the next pile of poo was the PC crap. I ****ing hate that show.... blad chars, bland lame plots, lame looking ships. THE PRIME DIRECTIVE
ALL lame all the time.
Kirk and crew where ok, all the other startrek stuff was bland boring geekbate.
-
I know what you meant. Nobody can disrespect captain kirk wearing a girdle and delivering a clinching monologue full of facile sixties social commentary to a bunch of facepainted aliens. That's the gold standard.
But ST: TNG is superfriends at warp 7. There's no problem they can't solve with the best technology in the universe, the best minds, and melodramatic social non-commentary. Well, there is one problem, and they had to create it at the start.
-
They should have given Worf the helm of a battle cruiser and his own show.
-
TPIguy: saw a couple eposides, it was ok. Never watched enough to get into the plot though.
There was no plot to speak of besides them trying to figure out what was wrong with the girl and why the government tried to re-capture her.
GtoRA2: And the part where he tries to trade the captian for his favorite gun for the girl! Awsome!
Mal: "Are you offering me a trade?"
Jayne: "A trade!? Hell, it's theft. This is the best damn gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy than what you got."
Mal: "What I got? She has a name."
Jayne: "So does this!" (caresses the gun lovingly) "I call it Vera."
Mal: "Well, my days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."
:)
Dinger: I don't think PC had much to do with it (please, we're talking about Fox here)...
I did not mean Fox was affected by PC in this case - the audience was. Certainly the critics in the major media, hence the bad ratings.
Come to think of it, while futuristic Dystopia is a formula that sells pretty well on the big screen, I can't think of many TV series that play that angle. It's usually some optimistic crap.
I beg to differ. What was shown was certainly no futuristic dystopia as in post-apocalyptic "Mad Max", "Postman" or "Waterworld". Quite the opposite - the Union won, the state is strong, democratic and kinda benevolent, there is plenty of wealth, certainly a lot of order and most people live comfortable lives as long as they toe the line and do not venture too far into uncivilised regions.
It is no more dystopia that our modern american or european reality.

worf is not even a shadow of the man, that Jayne is!
Worf is like the netured version of what a clingon should be.
Worf sucks!
Captian french sucks worf.... or worse?
That second in comand guy is like Al gore in space.
The "counciler" or what ever she was just should have "hooker" over her door. Thats how they did it in firefly!
The borg are the lamest enemy ever!!
That Q guy was a sick joked played on anyone looking foreward to the show....

Those qoutes make me laugh even at work!

Personally, I like "Enterprise". They actually have inter-species sex on there.
-
Enterprise seemed OK, the few I watched, maybe with rodenbarry dead it wont suck as bad?
Still it aint no Firefly.
-
Firefly was the only show I ever felt the need to write to the network about and try and keep it on the air.
Awesome.
I wish they were able to explore the Reaver aspect more.

PS I got the Dvd as soon as I found out about and recommended it to SuperFly. Hopefully this thread will convince him it's worth it.

I just picked it up. I can't believe they actually did it in 1.78:1 aspect ratio. Seing as I'll be playing it on a WS tv... that simply kicks ass.

BTW... "The Tick" was sitting there calling to me too... 1.78:1 also.

I love the cliff hangar's Joss Whedon employs.
With the trade thing, just before it leaves for commercial, you're convinced that Jane is going to do something to the captain.

JAYNE

No, seriously, Jayne, you want to tell me?
JAYNE
Look, Mal, I got no ruttin' idea. I was
here a few years back, like I said. Pulled
a second-story, stole a lot of scratch from
the magistrate up on the hill. But things
went way South. I had to hightail it.

I don't know. This here's a spectacle might

The kind where they hacked off his hands and feet with
a machete, rolled him into the bog.

Listen, my client offworld is waiting for his

Not to worry. Your man's merchandise is here, safe

Firefly gonna start next wednesday here in Finland. It´s in the place of Stargate, which I would have liked to watch more, but it will continue in time....
John Doe was a really good series and of course they had to cancel it!!! Not to mention that The Bold and The beautiful are running nth season.... GRRRRRR
I hate when the story won´t continue to the end... B5 was good, there was an ending..
Luckily at least Farscape will get 4 more episodes to end the series...

Whedon's 'Serenity' greenlit
U moves forward on sci-fi spinoff
By GABRIEL SNYDER
Universal Pictures has greenlit "Serenity,'' the feature film based on Joss Whedon's Fox TV series "Firefly,'' which was canceled in late 2002 after just 11 episodes.
Deals are in place for Whedon to direct and for the original cast of the TV show to reprise their roles. Pic, budgeted in the mid-eight figures, is skedded for a June start and should be ready for a 2005 release.
After Fox pulled the plug on "Firefly," Whedon struggled to continue the project, speaking with other nets and cablers about the skein, then finally turning to studios about a feature version. U acquired the feature rights from Fox last fall.
Whedon said the pic will be released under the title "Serenity" to give it some distance from the TV version. "It was important that people understand that the movie isn't the series," he said. "The movie is bigger, more epic than anything you can do in a series."
To that end, he said he went out of his way while penning the "Serenity" script to make sure that it is accessible to auds who never tuned into "Firefly."
"You're not going to bring people into a movie if you're explaining all the time what happened before," Whedon said.
Series was a space oater set 500 years in the future, tracking the journeys of the crew aboard the Serenity.
Forthcoming pic is set about six months after the TV show left off, and centers on two passengers on board the ship who attract trouble to the crew.
The studio has closed a deal with Nathan Fillion to return as Capt. Malcolm Reynolds. Other original cast members Gina Torres, Morena Baccarin, Jewel Staite, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher and Summer Glau are also in place.
Barry Mendel is producing the pic. Chris Buchanan of Mutant Enemy, Whedon's shingle, and Mendel exec Alissa Tager are exec producing. Overseeing the project for U is vice chair Mary Parent.
Date in print: Wed., Mar. 3, 2004, Los Angeles

Thanks for getting me interested in this show. I followed "Farscape" for awhile but eventually didn't have time to keep up with it. I might have to rent the first eps of "Firefly" just to see if its of interest to me.
In a nutshell, what's the basic premise of the show? Something about a ship and her crew on the run?
-
Fantastic news.
GOfaster
yeah they are on the run but mostly just due to them picking up a pair of government fugitives. They end up staying on.
They are the focus of some episodes, but others are just about being a transport crew and the legal and ilegal things they do.
LDVs take on the show is a good one. Read his posts.

gofaster: In a nutshell, what's the basic premise of the show? Something about a ship and her crew on the run?
(http://bc.images.trb.com/media/thumbnails/special/2002-08/4359670.jpg)
It’s 500 years in the future, and Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds (Nathan Fillon), [now] captain of the [small] transport ship Serenity, was on the losing side of a universal civil war. [He and Zoe fough together for independence against the central government - miko] His world – his way of life – is gone. Now he will do whatever it takes, legal or not, to keep bread on the table and fuel in the tank. [mostly flying around less civilised frontier planers]
Eight other residents populate the Serenity. Zoe (Gina Torres), a soldier, served with Mal in the war. Her husband Wash (Alan Tudyk) is a calm, unassuming pilot. He flies the ship, but he won’t play the hero. Engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite) is young and bubbly – she’s much more comfortable on the ship than on the ground. Jayne (Adam Baldwin) is a mercenary. Right now, being on the Serenity serves his interests. That could change, and if it does, all bets are off. Simon (Sean Maher) is on the ship under protest. He’s serving as the ship’s doctor, but he only joined the crew to provide shelter to his sister River (Summer Glau), a borderline psychic on the run from the Alliance government.
Rounding out the crew are the courtesan Inara (Morena Baccarin) and the preacher Book (Ron Glass). Why are they on the Serenity? No one knows. Prostitution is both legal and quite lucrative, so why Inara stays on such a down-market ship is a mystery. And is Book spreading the word of God or just on his own personal walkabout?
The Serenity must avoid not only the Alliance government but also the Reavers, cannibalistic human monsters driven mad by the vastness of space.

The Jayne song (http://www.wavsite.com/sounds/70605/0104Jaynestown/01x04-18.wav)
About the widely assumed theory (by many fans) over what causes "Reaver madness": Reynolds' story to the Alliance commander of what happened to the "tortured colonist" goes like this:
HARKEN
Reavers?
MAL
That is what I said.
HARKEN
You can't imagine how many times men in
my position hear that excuse. "Reavers
did it."
MAL
It's the truth.
HARKEN
You saw them, did you?
MAL
Wouldn't be sitting here talking to
you if I had.
HARKEN
No, of course not.
MAL
But I'll tell you who did. That poor bastard
you took off my ship. He looked right into
the face of it. Was made to stare.
HARKEN
"It"?
MAL
The darkness. Kind of darkness you can't
even imagine. Blacker than the space it
moves through.
HARKEN
Very poetic.
MAL
They made him watch. He probably tried to
turn away, and they wouldn't let him. You
call him a survivor? He's not. A man comes
up against that kind of will, the only way
to deal with it, I suspect, is to become it.
He's following the only course left to him.
First, he'll try to make himself look like
one. Cut on himself, desecrate his flesh
and then, he'll start acting like one.
The Commander taps an intercom buzzer, and a second armed soldier enters.
That coupled with Simon's obvious fear of the vastness of outer space seems to have lead viewers to believe that they were linked and that "Reaver Madness" comes from being driven insane by space itself. Something that I don't buy. :D
-
To all of the wonderful Browncoats out there who have remained optimstic about the return of Firefly... All's I gotta say is:
See, I told you so!
Wuwuhahahahaha!!!
We WIN!!!
Thanks to Joss and his loyalty to a story cut short... No more!
I know for a fact that the devotion and contributions made by those of you out there played an important part in getting us back in the air...
Love and Serenity to us all!
We fly again!

I saw my first episode when in California, in a hotel a few months ago. I usually don't watch a lot of TV. The show was awesome! Great special effects and good story....I thought it was a movie at first.
I tried to remember the name, but could not. I'd buy the DVD.
-
Whedon got backing for a movie. Cast and crew are working out the details.
-
I bought the DVD set last week and am enjoying it more than I did when it was being aired. Fox really screwed the pooch on this one. I can't for the life of me understand what they couldn't see in this show. Ahhhh, corporate America, know all see alls of whats best for them.
FAVE epi: Out Of Gas, Serenity.
Am counting the minutes til the feature length movie comes out next year.
-
what are some of your favorite lines from the show?
I like the one where jane is upstairs in the potato house that is about to be attacked and has all his guns laid out on the table... He is telling his "date" for the night that when the shooting starts there will be all sorts of unpleasantness with people screaming and crying and such and that she needs to keep her head... he tells here that these (the guns) are his favorites and arranged biggest to smallest, her job is to hand em to him in order as he runs out of ammo in each.
Really great story lines... they seem to have been able to avoid preachy liberal subjects pretty well for a TV show... Lots of common sense.
lots of action... lots of machinery and guns and nice womens butts.

MAL: I believe that woman's planning to shoot me again.
JAYNE: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first?
WASH: It is her turn.
MAL: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.
MAL: I'm thinkin' you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other 'til we go away?
NISKA: You do not like I kill this man.
MAL: Oh, no. I'm sure he was a very bad person.
NISKA: My wife's nephew. At dinner, I'm getting earful.
ZOE: Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.
MAL: Hell, this job I would pull for free.
ZOE: Can I have your share?
MAL: No.
ZOE: If you die, can I have your share?
MAL: Yes.
WASH: Oh, gawd! What could it be? We're doomed! Who's flyin' this thing? Oh. Right. That'd be me. Back to work.
HARKEN: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war?
ZOE: Fought with a lot of people in the war.
HARKEN: And your husband?
ZOE: Fight with him sometimes, too.
WASH: The legs. Oh yeah, definitely have to say it was her legs. You can put that down. Her legs, and where her legs meet her back. Actually, that whole area. That, and above it.
WASH: Have you ever been with a warrior woman?
ZOE: Planet's coming up a mite fast.
WASH: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all.
MAL: Well, that happens, let me know.
BADGER: 'Course you couldn't buy an invite with a diamond the size of a testicle, but I got my hands on a couple.
MAL: He's supposed to be old, kinda stocky, wears a red sash crossways.
KAYLEE: Why does he do that?
MAL: Maybe he won the Miss Persephone Pageant.
MAL: See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.
BOOK: Afraid I might be needing a preacher.
MAL: That's good. You lie there and be ironical.
JAYNE: "Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy. Today we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."
MAL: So then Shepherd says to a Companion, "Well, a good goat would do that."
JAYNE: Instead of us hanging around playing art critic till I get pinched by the Man, how's about we move away from this eerie-ass piece of work and get on with our increasingly eerie-ass day?
SIMON: To Jayne! The box-dropping, man-ape-gone-wrong-thing.
MAL: Well. Looks can be deceiving.
JAYNE: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.
MAL: Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.
ZOE: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
BOOK: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
MAL: I know it's a difficult mission... but you and I... have to get it on.
ZOE: Take me, sir. Take me hard.
WASH: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next?
ZOE: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up.
WASH: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.
JAYNE: Anybody remember her comin' at me with a butcher's knife?
WASH: Wacky fun.
JAYNE: You wanna go, little man?
WASH: Only if it's someplace with candlelight.

yep... every one of those lines was dead on perfect... I also liked where mal comes out to find jane pointing some futuristic looking assualt gun at him and says... well, my days of not taking you seriously are fast aproching a middle.
What is funny is that both men and women love the show.

My favorite line was:
