Smuggler Archive

I LOVE Firefly. I didn't see it when it first aired. I saw the Serenity trailer in Toronto watching Elektra (which by the by sucks fetid donkey testicles in my humble opinion) and thought, "Oh yeah! Wasn't that show on Fox like ten years ago? Huh."

Then I got back and told my friend about it. She immediately made my girlfriend and I watch the series. I fell IMMEDIATELY in love. I couldn't sit down the entire first disc. I sat there marvelling at the show for all four discs. The camera work, the plot, the dialogue the acting, the lighting the sound. BRILLIANT. Since then I have converted half a dozen people to the Firefly cause. EVERY one of them, bar none, including people I've met who had already seen it have the same thing to say, "Why the f#$% would they cancel that show?" I mean it really is my favorite Sci Fi show. I like it better than Star Trek.

Was just reading that Joss Whedon (the writer/creator) in planning on the movie being a springboard if it does well to get the show back on the air. I can't tell you how excited that makes me if it indeed happens. Hopefully the preview screenings they set up in the 20 cities are an indication of how well the movie might do. All 20 ciites are sold out. While I'm depressed that I won't be able to see it in the Minneapolis area, the better it does, means there is a much more significant chance it'll come back on the air. There isn't one person I have either made watch the series or had watch an episode has not loved it.

Well, you know. Our pyen juh duh jiou cha wen of a network executive doesn't like anything that breaks the mold to excel on its own right.

Wow. A level of fandom where you actually took the time to memorize the Chinese. LOL! You rule.

Watch the episodes and read the translations enough, and you'll remember some of the more amusing lines. :>

I'm *far* more sad when it comes to Star Wars stuff, but I admit, I'm damn fond of Firefly. :>

Maybe so...but you typed it, and as far as I know...accurately.

"We just need to scare him."
"Pain is scary."

I will concede the point that Farscape fans are more fanatical. I will however continue to question their sanity

Firefly was the best space show ever! I'm way more excited about seeig serenity than i am about Episode three starwars. And given the choice I'd play a game based on it over starwars anyday.... And i love starwars. It has simply the best concept going in sci fi

favorite line from the trailer

Bounty hunter guy " (bla blabla) ... I am unarmed"

Mal "well good" *draws and fires on the BH type* ok thats not exactly how it went but damn what a great scene!

LOVED the show! I read an article the reason it got cancelled is the brass wanted an all Sci-fi show and not mixed in with cowpoke style. THAT'S WHAT MADE THE SHOW. Anyway, the movie is supposed to be all spacey and technowhat. I just hope it's good. I dont't think it will have the effect to relaunch the series, but a revisit will have to do. Definately going to go see this.

Yah I love Buffy too and have been an avid comic collector and Whedon can write, very pleased.
