It's called Sci-Fi for a reason.  

I have had the DVD set for a while and never tire of it.  And best of all, it's the first in a series of 3 movies Joss Whedon is doing for Universal (take that Fox you bunch of ******* morons!!!!).

     I've seen a couple sci-fi stories where horses make perfect
sense.  For example, they are very good low tech "machines"
for transportation as all you have to do is feed them and they
are self-replicating.  Alot cheaper than shipping gas and parts
like carburetors over interstellar distances.

But doesn't that kill off the chance of it coming back as a television series?  :(

Well, stranger things have happened but, yeah, that pretty much kills it.

Hmmm ...


I think the story was that Whedon went to Sci-Fi to take up the series and they offered a movie deal instead.  Not sure about that but that's what I remember.  No one knows why Fox aired the series out of order making fans like me scratch their heads about story line interruptions.

YES!

This was a great series and the movie has all the old characters..  A space western is the very best of both worlds..

what is not to like?  anarchy... bad guys to shoot... firearms that go bang (most of em) and women with great butts.  Witty writing.

I think that the mix of horses and space ships is perfect for a pioneer universe...  sorta like Turkey in the 1800's where "the centuries didn't so much flow, more like, coexisted"

Colinized planets out on the fringe of civilization... yeah.. I might want a high tech (good material) smokeless powder gun and a horse that ate the landscape for fuel.   If I had a gee wizz goodie or ten that would be great too.... until it broke and I found out I was out of UPS range.

If you haven't bought the DVD of the series.... do it.

What is the name of the series?   This is the first Scifi movie that has looked interesting to me in a long while.
