Firefly shit/not shit

[ViolentPanda]

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....

You need to see it, if only for "Jaynestown", which is a total of an episode.

Not bad but overrated. It had promise, but there were too many weak/boring episodes in its short run. When the revamped Battlestar Galctica came along it whiped the floor with Firefly from the start.

We've already had this debate a 1000 times, but for me, BSG just left me cold. I suppose that was the intention of the programme makers, but it just felt so clinical. No warmth. Firefly has so much warmth, and soul.

I think you just summed up the general pointlessness of internet forum discussions and then contributed to it.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Contributed to the discussion or the pointlessness?

Still not seen this so can't vote.
I like Joss Whedon's stuff Buffy/Angel/Dollhouse, how does it measure up/

Firefly is great. Believable characters you give a shit about, despite their faults, terrific dialogue, an odd sci-fi/Wild West mash-up that works, somehow, and some seriously attractive leading ladies

Yeah, it's top. Apart from the theme song, which is utter piss.

[Kid_Eternity]

[Santino]

[Pingu]

i admit i had problems believing a galactic economy where it's efficient to transport cattle from place to place with spaceships but, on the other hand, so much else in it to like. Liked the Chinese influences. And the rent boys.

And if they needed to transport cattle, they transport the raw materials and assemble them.

Look at his square jaw! a mixture of smug hardmannishness as bumbkin hayseed. So punchable

... and his ass so very touchable.

We call it "cling film" too. Its just a bit archaic.

Apparently it turns into Tolstoy the episode after you stop watching it.

 

[likesfish]

The draft shooting script of the pilot is best.

[flypanam]

Best thing Weedon has done. So good I'm gonna dig out the box set over the weekend and watch it and Eastbound and down.

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

They are, sort of.

They are doing the bits in between. Then maybe changing the end.
