Firefly/Serenity = #1 in my book!

Yeah, I'm a hard-core Browncoat too, in more ways than one.

I also enjoyed "Alien: Resurrection," which seemed like a proto-Firefly (especially the crew of the Betty).

I just saw that I can pick up the entire Firefly series for about 40 bucks on Amazon.

Last week I bought the Collectors Edition Serenity. Totally worth it for the extra bucks.

I would hold off on getting it for that price. It often goes lower than that. I've seen it for close to $20 quite a few times, and sometimes even as low as $15 if you're lucky. And with the holidays coming up I'm sure someone will have it on sale for cheap.Originally Posted by All_Hail_The_Crimson_King

Not to start a battle or anything but I'm curious on what is so good about Firefly? It was only on TV for three months before getting cancelled yet I hear people rave about how its one of the best TV series ever made...so why was it cancelled? I can't see a station cancelling a show if it's loved and has as large of a fanbase as it appears to have. The fact it didn't even last a full season (unless I'm wrong) is enough to make me not to want to watch it, beside the fact Whedon created it.
I just want to know, what is so good about this cancelled television show that the fanbase is so expansive? It simply looks like another cheesy, science fiction show like Andromeda or Deep Space Nine so I'm wondering if I'm wrong on this. Considering I though Buffy and Angel were god awful, what did Whedon do in this series to make me change my opinion on him?
Serenity did little to grab my attention either but perhaps the advertising was just really bad. My dad seen it, said it was above average.
Maybe it's just because I, personally, have never seen the appeal in most TV shows and sci-fi shows have a long history of being incredibly cheesy and hokey. If I get some decent answers I may look into it. My brother has been telling me to watch Battlestar Galactica for over a year but every preview I see makes it look cheeseball.
Just watch it. It ain't hokey, it ain't cheeseball. Fox canceled it because they put it at a time where most people are (a) at high school football games, or (b) on the road for the weekend. The Friday time-slot of death. Goddamn Fox.

What Steve said. Watch it, and form your own opinion. NEVER rely on others' opinions.
And the new BSG? WATCH IT.

big question; Is there any kind of dininitive conclusion? Can I watch it beginning to end and have it feel complete, as a whole? I hear people complain about how Carnivale finished which is why, though I've wanted to, watch it. Is Serenity a follow up?
Second big question; Is it done in a similar style as Buffy and Angel were done in? I enjoyed buffy when I was twelve but never stuck with it, never went back. Buffy and Angel just wasn't my thing. So my views on what Whedon is capable of is a little skewed. Firefly seems about as opposite of Buffy and Angel as you can get.
Watch the series, then read the graphic novel bridging the gap "Serenity: Those Left Behind," then watch the film "Serenity." It's sooo worth it.

not only this, but FOX has a tendency to cancel things after a relatively short period of time if the show isn't living up to the high expectations they set forth for it.
they broadcast the episodes out of sequence, so some people felt that they were coming into a story without having any clue what was going on and were turned off. many of them eventually returned to the fold when the DVDs were released as they could finally watch the episodes in some sort of chronological order. FOX was showing commercials for "the girl in the box" for weeks before the show even premiered, but didn't even show that episode until 3 or 4 weeks in.
the pilot was actually the last episode ever aired on FOX.
firefly is some of the best television ever. it was better than buffy and it was better than angel. and this is coming from me, a diehard buffy and angel fan. i have not had one person who sat down and watched the series come back and tell me they didn't enjoy it. not one.
ps. say, your coat's kind of a brownish colour, isn't it?
Mattrick:
I've seen the first season of Buffy and really couldn't get into it. I'll eventually watch the rest of the show and Angel, but i'm dragging my feet because of how little I liked that season.
That being said, I loved loved loved LOVED Firefly. It's an excellent show and worth watching.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Im a huge firefly fan, i didnt really dig serenity all that much though but i loooovvvveeee firefly, its a disgrace that the show was cancelled. I never really got into buffy/angel, although i loved the buffy movie when it first came out when i was like 11, i even had a cat called buffy.
Id love it if joss whedon could bring back the show somehow, imo its porbably the best adventure show ever, for me every episode was like watchin star wars or indiana jones, its sad when they cancel this but still have all those shite csi programs on every night of the god damned week.
P.s Sorry if i offended any csi fans.
Fuck the CSI fans!
does anyone else have the serenity graphic novel? i was reading it again the other day, and jo chen's kaylee cover looks eerily similar to our own dear erin.
There is a GRAHPIC NOVEL??? Why was I not told????
Linky?
