You thoughts on 'Firefly' - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

100% agree.

Farscape and Firefly are the only two SciFi shows I actually own on DVD.

I had seen Serenity. After I saw that I wanted to see Firefly, I remember the very first 5 minutes of the pilot but that was all I saw.

Found the Firefly box set on DVD at Sams for $17, $1 per episode!

Later, I bought the Bluray version.

So I have both.

Serenity the movie is one of those i can watch, over, and over, and over again.

I still have to watch Farscape though, didn't really watch much of it, don't even think I've seen an entire episode yet.

Isn't there only 14 episodes?

**dafodilkemmy** · 03-06-2010, 10:10 AM

Hmm... Imight have mis-read the box
Says all 14 episodes, but also 3 unaired episodes, I might have added them together in my head for the #17.

Just counted all of them for each box.

Disc 1 has: Serenity P1 and P2, The Train Job, and Bushwhacked.
Disc 2 has: Shindig, Safe, Our Ms. Reynolds, and Jaynestown
Disc 3 has: Out of Gas, Ariel, War Stories, and Trash.
Disc 4 has: The Message (never aired), Heart of Gold (never aired), and Objects in Space.

I guess if you count Serenity parts 1 and 2 as seperate episodes it would make for 15. But I'll go with 14.

**Dominick Yo** · 03-06-2010, 10:28 AM

Shitty, I was hoping there were 3 episodes I haven't yet seen.

**FelikTen** · 04-06-2010, 01:14 PM

To be honest I was warm to it, but this is when I really became a fan.

Ive just started watching this series. I'm only 3 episode in so please NO SPOILERS!

Just wanted to know what you guys thought of the series? Liked it, hated it, worth watching etc?

Cheers

**Emedgella** · 05-28-2010, 06:43 PM

I didn't watch it until last year and really enjoyed it. The first couple are so-so but it really picks up later on, reasonable story lines and very funny too.

**casinobonbiner** · 05-28-2010, 06:51 PM

Great show with lots of character and the protagonists are really interesting and varied. Story line is pretty good, it's just a shame the show was cancelled so early.

Ah didn't realise it was only 14 episode long?

Whats the next TV to watch after I've seen this then?

Cheers

**bixlewlyimila** · 05-28-2010, 07:16 PM

Yup, major loss to the SF fraternity when it was dropped.
Don't forget to watch the movie "Serenity", which is the parallel story and which explains some plot details.

Watched the "new" Dr Who series'?

**Dildos** · 05-28-2010, 07:38 PM

Firefly is another good reason to hate the Fox network. Piss on them for cancelling this show!
Couldn't even finish the season? And they own the freakin' rights to the show.

Anyway, I really really like Firefly.

**janeloveslifenow** · 05-28-2010, 09:45 PM

Don't mean to overhype it, but this is one of the best shows I've ever seen.

As far as adventure sci-fi goes, it's the best, bar none. Matched with Serenity, I like this series more than Star Wars.

**qp0yfHOf** · 05-28-2010, 11:10 PM

I rented the first disc through netflix with the rest queued right behind. After watching that first disc, I couldn't wait for the others to ship so I went out and bought the season + DVD.
Yeah, I like Firefly a lot.

Resist the urge to quote the show, resist the urge to quote the show, resist the urge aaahhhh!

**mloversia** · 05-28-2010, 11:17 PM

Great series cut short, happens quite allot now, at least we got a film I guess.

**nebrarlepleme** · 05-28-2010, 11:18 PM

I remember Firefly being very enjoyable, but overhyped among SF nerds--the quality was somewhat variable given its largely episodic nature. Whedon didn't have the time to fully flesh out the characters/mythos as he did in Buffy/Angel, shows which only took off in the later seasons.

In fairness, the final episode, Objects in Space, does manage to live up to the acclaim frequently bestowed on the series.
