Why do my threads always have the lowest average of responses? Oh well...
Anyway, just watched 10 episodes of Firefly, and I must say I am at a loss to explain why they didn't dump the show earlier for some useless, brainlaiss piece of shit. [Insert loads of sarcasm]. I think it's a very entertaining show, with pretty good music, cool characters and interesting story lines. Pretty heavy violence and erotic content, but that doesn't have to be bad. I quite like it. A lot of it made me laugh, which is quite a hard thing. Maybe it was too good to stay on the air...
I can see now why David was forced into this direction with the score for Serenity. I still don't think it fits, but it makes a LOT more sense now that I've seen the series. Still, I'd have preferred it to be either in the line of the show, or completely different and only related to the movie. The hasty half assed end product that came out surely can't be blamed on the composer, but on some guy who made the wrong decisions too late, perhaps not knowing what he really wanted until the very end. Sad thing.
Get the DVD's and watch the series though. Excellent stuff.

You can't create a Firefly thread and expect many replies here.
Seeing the movie, and seeing it bomb, made me quite sad, as I was really hoping for more movies or having the series renewed. Oh well... at least there is alot of good television out there right now.

I don't know. Firefly is by far the best thing I've seen in a long time.

I personally wouldn't go that far, but it is one of the few TV series that I purchased on DVD, so that is certainly saying something.
Have you ever watched Farscape? High recommended, and it may help fill that Firefly void.
Also, I'm finding myself quite impressed with the new Battlestar Galactica. It starts off rough - the miniseries has moments but can be a bit hard to watch, but the show gets very good quickly, and is possibly my favorite on TV right now.

I will get Farscape. I've already seen quite few episodes and am planning to fill the gaps now with a complete runthrough. Great show as well, but didn't impress me as much as Firefly. It's quite close though. BG I didn't like at the beginning. Maybe I should keep watching it.

BG lacks the humor of Farscape and Firefly, but makes up for it with great acting, great space battles, and generally good/great stories.
I'd check out the first episode of Season 1, "33". It's one of the strongest of of the first season, and if you hate that, then BG may not be for you.

I watched the beginning of the pilot, and was very disappointed by the image quality, as well as the acting and the apparent plot. Maybe I was having a bad day, and now the DVD's are very far from me. I'll give it a go after I am through with Farscape.

"Image quality"?
Are you talking about the special effects? I didn't notice any problems with the image quality when I watched it...
Also, by pilot are you talking about the episode where they have to jump every 33 minutes because the Cylons find them, or the boring mini-series where everyone talks boring exposition and acts stupid most of the time?

The way they shot the picture. Not image quality. I guess I saw the mini-series, because it was boring and stupid.
