I just got the series, some 15 or so episodes not exactly sure on numbers, but after the first 15 minutes of watching it I have a feeling I'm really going to dig it.

just felt like saying that...

Hmm. Never really got the appeal of that series. It just seemed too much like Buffy and Angel and the new Enterprise and all those "new" TV shows to me.

Well... it is from the creator and / or writer of a few of those "new" shows.

From a smugglers viewpoint, this first episode is truely proving to be smuggler-ish.

Not intended as a slight here, but you're in the extreme minority on this forum man.

Dante - glad you went out and got this, phenominal show. I think you will enjoy it very much. The only real thing that sucks, is once you get to that last disc and realize...there is no more . At least til the movie comes out.

Serenity movie

I've not seen the series, yet. When it was first airing, I never knew when it was on to check it out(never saw commercials, didn't know anyone watching it, et cetera).

I've had a bit of trouble locating it through my job(Hastings), and don't wish to use Amazon and the like, 'cause if I decide to buy series, I don't get used copies, too much chance to get bad discs.

Finally, it doesn't look like I'll be able to watch it be re-aired on SciFi this Friday, since I work Friday, from 6:00 to Close, and it airs at 6:00 Central. I may not get to see it at all, as I normally work *each* Friday. There have been exceptions, but not many.

Oh well. I'll see it, eventually.

Firefly is the best sci-fi TV show ever. That is all.

Who's excited about the movie in September? <-- ok so someone has already posted a link to Serenity.

Favourite quote is from the first ep when they first take the passenger's onboard.

Zoe: "Now we have a shipload of passengers right on top of out STOLEN cargo..."

Mal: "Well, if anyone gets too close... shoot them. Politely."

Actually in all honesty, River and Simon are the only 2 characters that slightly bug me. With River its just simply the fact that she's always in the 'crazy' out of it mode. But, its not enough to make me dislike either of them.

My fav quote is from the 'Shindig' episode. I won't ruin it for Dante by posting it though before he/she gets to see it.

Fav episode: 'Out of Gas'. Hands down.

Close 2nd: Toss up between 'Trash' and 'Ariel'

As cure as Kaylee is, Inara kicks my ass, her secksiness knows no bounds. But, I'd take either.

Fox aired only a few episodes and they were not in the intended order. I watch the first couple with a friend and was lukewarm on the series. But soon as we hit disk two i was ready tosell my fleshfor another season.


Fav episodes: Out of Gas, War Stories.

Why not use Amazon? I ordered my copy of the DVDs from Amazon, and got them brand new, factory sealed. Plus, I got them for like $30, as opposed to paying $45-$50 at the local Sam Goody store.


Just a thought.


And, I've been through them 3 times now...


Gotta agree with Kav...best eps are Out of Gas and War Stories.

Yeh, Firefly's great . I borrowed the series off a friend and started out just watching the first episode.. ended up watching it all the way through . Picked it up for £18 on sale last week and watched the first three episodes last night .

Amazon's great, it primarily sells new stock and offers the used sellers market on the side, so aslong as you ensure you're looking at the right listings, you'll be getting a brand new product.
