Just watched the first two. Enjoying it so far. I treat it as entertainment - anyone looking for plausibility can go polish their di-lithium crystals.
unrelated but someone above was really harsh about Lexx - it's a shame it got so jokey as time went by but 1.1 I Worship His Shadow was ace - who wouldn't want an alarm clock that was a talking aciiiiiiid smiley face?

The space western is interesting, but I don't think the universe that Whedon created is remotely consistent internally (anti-grav trains and cattle?) and TBH while I started to enjoy some of the later eps I can see why it was canned when it was - whichever network stumped up the money in the frst place was fucking brave; if I'd seen that pilot I'd have said never in a 000 years will that get to air...
I thought Serenity was total dross so i never bothered with firefly

I hate to bump old threads but...
Just watched Serenity again, what a complete corker of a film, just love the dialogue in it.
Damn shame no more Firefly

Oh man, I liked Serenity and have the Firefly series on DVD but haven't been able to watch more than half the first episode. Just found it really boring....

It's a builder, really worth a bit of your time, especially if you liked Serenity. Although, you may be a little confused as to why some characters are around...

Heh that's one of the worst things you can say about any sci fi show!
I thought it was the kind of SF that non-SF fans like
I.e. fun, enjoyable, not too stuck up, grungey, non-straight-laced, etc.
This show!!
I never 'thanked' the folks here for bigging up Firefly and Serenity so much! I gave it a go last year on your recommendations.
It was utter bollocks!! Utter pestillential bollocks! My faith in y'all for recommending shows took a real kicking.
I saw Serenity first and kept waiting for summat to happen. Summat seldom did. River was the only thing worth watching and that scene lasted all of a 5 mins. In the extras, Joss Whedon was so smug and self righteous over the cancellation of Firefly.... How he heartbroken he'd been but he felt vindicated!
So I decided to try Firefly because surely Serenity had to have been been an abberation. People were passionate about Firefly! It had to be good!
Actually no. No it didnt! Shit sets, too many poorly drawn cliche characters.
Mal was the worst- he was shit and hollow and the show fell on his shoulders. The actor was woeful.
Ive never seen a show with a larger distance between the hype and the reality. Big empty shell of a show. All IMO (of course!)

Id hi-five ya DC, but you dig Lexx!

Lexx is icky, sexy, fairly amoral and funny.
Firefly was crap
Look at his square jaw! a mixture of smug hardmannishness as bumbkin hayseed. So punchable

I chiefly blame you RD!
You were unstinting in your praise for this! And if the Big Dawg rates it, the show must be hella good?!
And to think you were lukewarm about Heroes! *tuts!*
I have to say I often like your tastes too, so was surprised you loathed FF so much.
Hey 'lukewarm' about Heroes?
I absolutely LOVE the programme! You must be thinking of someone else!!I'm always there downloading it the second a new episode comes out, and I was gutted when it got cut short cos of the writers strike!

Lexx was mildy amusing, but was a bit too trying-to-be-wacky for its own good IMO.
And Mal Reynolds is cool. The nearest thing to Han Solo without actually being him.
Ah! I apologise unreservedly!I have to say I often like your tastes too, so was surprised you loathed FF so much.

Must have been another respected poster who surprised me by saying Heroes was mediocre. 
However, Mal Reynolds is not the nearest thing to Han Solo! Mal has seen Star Wars and WANTS to be Han!
Any number of his crew could and should have kicked his arse and taken over his ship. I never believed he would inspire any loyalty, never believed his guerilla fighting back story.
One thing I forgot to mention - Chiwetel Ejiofor was very unnerving as the assassin guy. He was good.
