I've heard good things, but haven't been able to catch it... basic cable at my apt.(luckily moving home soon since the semester ends on tues) and at the gf's, she is not a fan of sci fi

what is it about anyway?

QUOTE
Set almost 500 years in the future, this short-lived but much-loved TV series follows the adventures of the ragtag crew (Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk and others) of the transport spaceship Serenity. No job is too small, too dirty or too close to the line of illegality for the crew to tackle to remain fed and fueled. But when a passenger is wanted by the ruling Alliance regime, the Firefly must hide out the dangerous fringes of space.

If you go 20 bucks to spare you can pick up the dvd set...with the movie I think...its well worth the money its a great show and If I had the time I would watch it again a few more times before taking a break.

because, A) FOX is retarded and doesn't see a good thing till it's gone, and cool.gif they played the episodes out of order, they played it in different time slots every week, and wondered why people (the masses) didn't get in to it.

they also took a perfectly good pilot (the episode named serenity, the actual pilot) and said, "Sorry Joss Whedon, this isn't good enough. We need a new episode. Tomorrow" (i obviously wasn't there, but that's the jist of it) so he whipped one up in like, 24 hours.

fuckin FOX. dumbest. network. evar. i wish they didn't get all the good shows.

Gah, damn you Fox for being so stupid.

On related news, a friend of mine's dad told me there might be a Serenity 2 in the works. I haven't seen Serenity myself (so no spoilers!) but I had assumed they tied up all the loose ends from the show with the movie?

The movie was fantastic...the show was okay. I think the cast alone is what makes it enjoyable...I don't find the plots in the show to be top notch. The movie was dead nuts though.

Fox cancelled it because there was only a relatively small underground following. It's really too bad, it had a whole lot of potential.

Check her out in the Sarah Conner Chronicles. Even hotter than when she was in firefly.

I thought the geeky mechanic chic was hotter than Summer. Besides, she was always trying to get some, and Summer was being weird and whining about dead people and stuff.

I've made the mistake of seeing the movie before the show, so the emotional impact (yeah, okay, no spoilers) was lost on me. I've heard that it was the most highly budgeted sci-fi show out there, no? Yeah, too bad it was cancelled, I really liked that western/sci-fi mix universe. The Mass Effect game reminds me of it somehow. Ah well, at least LOST isn't cancelled yet! wink.gif
