Any fans of the SciFi series "FireFly"?

[passedpawn]

Just watched first episode. Like.

I loved this show I remember watching it with my girlfriend (now wife) when it first aired, my wife actually knitted me a copy of Jane's 'Cunning Hat', I still wear it to work.

Wow. I would have thought THE cancelled show with the biggest cult following ever would have attracted your attention much earlier.

On the plus side, you can watch all episodes and the movie on one Saturday.

I didn't realize it was that big. It's pretty damned good, watched a couple more episodes this weekend.

 

[TonyKZ1]

Yep, one of my favorite shows.

 

[jrcrilly]

Great stuff!

Now you can become a "browncoat" too!

Same story here (well, without the hat, my wife didn't stick with knitting very long). My then-girlfriend, now-wife really enjoyed FireFly. There were definitely some ups and downs with some great episodes and a few not-so-great ones, but overall a great concept and story.

She also really enjoyed The Sopranos (i watched Seasons 1-5 a third time through with her and season 6 for the first time). We both love "House of Cards", and watch each season as soon as they come out. Couldn't get her started on "Taken" (the Sci-Fi miniseries), and while she watched all of Lost with me, she didn't like it all that much. On the lookout for another show to watch (streaming or DVD/BD). She wants to watch "West Wing" but I suspect I will get tired of it quickly. Started watching "The League" but so far haven't been that excited about it (although one episode was really great).

Breaking Bad? I've enjoyed Boardwalk Empire, also.

 

[Newsman]

I, for one, would love to see new episodes, or maybe a new movie. I'm sure Joss Whedon can come up with a good storyline.

 

[Cheesy_Goodness]

Wife got me into it well after it went off the air, and I'll happily call myself a fan. Very quotable moments in the series.

[From memory]
"Made it just in the nick of time. What does that make us Zoe?"
"Big damn heroes sir."
"Ain't we just."

THERES A GORRAM MOVIE? Shiny...I'll have to give amazon some more money, then.

serenity.

someone on here or somewhere else made this label up. I happily cobbed it from them.

 

[PDevlin75]

My wife and I watched it a few years ago... Every once in awhile, I'll watch it again. I think it has good repeatability value.

Another friend and his wife recently watched it, and asked, "Is it too late to be mad that this show was cancelled"?

... It's never too late to be mad about that...

If you don't hate the studio for that F$%^up, you ain't doing it right.

 

[coolharry]

You can't take the sky from me. Sniff. Such a great show.

 

[balrog]

Gorram right. Nothing in the 'verse can stop the fans.

 

[PDevlin75]

The show was cancelled by Fox... *Sigh* I work for a subsidiary of Fox :smack:

I suppose I'm not allowed to hate too much... At least not out loud

I can still hate on the inside, though!

 

[TriggerHappy]

Combines two of my favorite genres, Sci-Fi and Westerns. Add Joss Whedon to the mix to make the perfect show.
New show I love is Gotham, The writing for Donal Logue's character (Bullock) is very Jayne. You can also get you Inara fix as she is on the show too(start drooling).
"I am a leaf on the wind"

I save my drool for Jewel (Kaylee) the mechanic

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

It's Fox. They've made a cottage industry out of trolling nerds by putting geeky shows on the air and then cancelling them as soon as nerds fall in love with them.

 

[passedpawn]

OMG best episode yet. That was really, really cool. Dropping cattle from a spaceship, doc and schizo sis get abducted, sis is being burned as a witch in the mode of Salem, doc and sis saved. Preacher might be undercover agent. Just good stuff all around.

Yes, Kaylee is the hottest and awesomest and just my true dream girl. But Inara is hot, as are all the others from the cast, River, Zoey. Unfortunately they are not on Gotham and Inara is. I love Avery's Hog Heaven and would marry it if they legalize that, but if I see a Avery's Kaiser at a bar you can bet your tail I am gonna drink it and enjoy every drop.

 

[sburnt]

Huge fan. Seen all the episodes many times.

Funny thread... 2011 ---bump--> 2015. Welcome to all you other Browncoats, new and old!

 

[Venari]

I didn't jump onto the bandwagon until I was curious what Sheldon Cooper was all uptight about.

I admit, the opening "war in the trenches" bit threw me off. I couldn't see Sheldon getting upset about that.

This is an industry standard, I think.

Heroes (yay heroes reborn!), No Ordinary Family, The 4400, Bionic Woman (newish one), The Glades, Almost Human...

Although I will say, by the end of Lost, I was glad to see it go.

Didn't like the ending, tho.

 

[passedpawn]

Haha, just finished another episode. Awesome. Inara is a GREAT and tantalizing character. Dayum.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

I have a solution to Kaylee's complaint:

[gratus fermentatio]

Ya, I got a thing for Kaylee/Jewel Staite. Sigh.
Though I gotta admit, Summer Glau is REALLY hot in Serenity. I don't want to give it away, but there's a rather intense scene that features her and...
OK, I'm going to shut up now.
Regards, GF.

All them ladies are hot in their own way.

Fox screwed the show at the start by airing the series out of order. They wanted to display an action episode to get the fans excited, rather than air in the order the writers set so you get character development. I think if you watch on DVD you view them in order they were supposed to be viewed in.

This show could have SERIOUSLY become one of the greatest TV shows in the Sci-fi genre if Fox had just kept they damn hands off o' it!

And just wait until you get an eyeful of Mal's Love interest! I thought her role was played to perfection.

Are you talking about his stowaway "bride"? I watched that episode last night. From what I can tell, Inara has eyes for Mal.

All the characters are excellent, and there's just enough subtle sex and humor and gunfights at the OK corral and space ships to make this thing awesome.

Yes. She's not the actual love interest, but she tries.

Curse her sudden but invitable betrayal!

 

[balrog]

It's so much fun to watch someone else get all interested in the show.

Time to re-watch the collection + Serenity! (and sing the Mudder's song)

 

[passedpawn]

So, was the movie made before the show? Same actors? Is there any reason to stop, watch the movie, then go back to show, or just finish season first then watch movie?

I'm already pissed this show was so short-lived.

Movie came after the show. Finish the show and consider the movie the encore.

Then be sad that there isn't more to watch.

EDIT: Oh, and fair warning: Jewel Staite lost a bunch of weight between the show and the movie, Kaylee is better looking in the show, IMO.

 

[ACbrewer]

I strongly recommend you find the tv series "ConMan" when it comes out.. it is about a guy (played by Alan Tudyk) who goes to SciFi Con's and he used to be an part of a SciFi space show as the pilot. His career seems to have peaked. Nathon Fillion stars also .... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4642170/

 

[passedpawn]

Oh yea, BTW, I loved the twist in the show last night where it's revealed that River is psychic. She read the mute kids mind; then, when they were going to burn her as a witch (!), she read the mind of the town mayor. It was a little Steven King supernatural twist, as if this show needed any more layers of coolness.

There were a bunch of things wrong with how FOX handled that show. Not only did they air them out of order, they also had a habit of shifting the air times around and randomly preempting/delaying the air times such that you could never actually predict when the show would be on TV from week to week. I can only imagine that someone at FOX was deliberately sabotaging the show by how much they screwed it up.

Damn, I need to watch this again. It's been years since my last Firefly binge.
