I was deeply saddened when this was canceled, it really could have had legs if given a chance.

Yes that was a great series that was killed before it could properly develop.
For example, the Shepherd Book character (played by Ron Glass) had a depth that was never explored.

Oh, Captain Tightpants...

Never saw the show.. the movie was rather entertaining though.

I never saw Firefly when it was on Fox as a series, but my son dragged me to see the movie Serenity. It was the most unusual yet entertaining show I have seen in many years. The characters were outstanding. The story was inventive. The dialog was hilarious. A space western, who could have imagined it would be so good. Too bad Fox had to pull the trigger so quickly.

It had me at “I call her Vera”.

Caught part of the Firefly Marathon on Sci-fi the other day. Caught Serenity on Universal's HD channel.

Can't stop the signal....

For all us Browncoats, there’s always fan fiction. Steven Brust has finished a good one...

Good call.

“Firefly” was not only great sci-fi, but perhaps the single most conservative television program ever.

Firefly. Precicely.

I haven’t had TV since 97. One day (about six months ago) I was listening to sattelite radio in a rental car and loved some music I heard. It was from a movie “Serenity”. I decided to rent it.

But they guy at the rental store said I would be disappointed if I didn’t see the TV show it was based on. I rented disc one. I was blown away. My wife even liked it. I then found that two of my work mates owned the original season and they loaned it to me. I was further blown away. It is actually part comedy and is the closest thing to the original Star Trek I have seen.

Then I rented the movie. Holy cow, what a tremendous story, and some reasonably good special effects. I loved it.

I now own the series and the Movie. I’ve already watched all of it twice.

I really do believe that if you don’t watch the series, the movie is going to be a non-starter.

Firefly stank. Cowboys in space with a solar system with a huge number of terraformed worlds. And the famous atheist line of how there supposedly can't be a benevolent God in such an evil universe.

Personal opinion (obviously), but having the Wild West imagery so out in the open was a major turnoff.

Will also state that personally more into sci-fi with 'ancient hi-tech.' High technology and high culture. The sci-fis based in the future are--opinion again--lame (i.e. Star Trek, Firefly).
