I'm a big fan of Firefly, the TV series, and I'm looking forward to the movie Serenity in a few weeks.

I've watched the show on Sifi channel. It is great.

I caught it at a friends house, and was fascinated by it. I watched for and noted that the first commercial I saw for it was just after its cancellation was announced. Kindof hard to imagine it succeeding if no one knows it is on and people only find it by accident.

I'm soooo looking forward to Serenity.

Firefly.....Awesome show! I bought the DVD collection and cannot wait to see the movie. Firefly is what Enterprise should have been.

I read somewhere that in the new "Battlestar Galactica" during the mass evacuation of Caprica scene, one of the ships leaving is the "Serenity."

Firefly ping...

A good friend just recommended that I check out Firefly and then wait eagerly for Serenity to come out. My friend described Mal and his cronies as Confederate veterans in space...

As a Revolutionary War/Civil War buff as well as science fiction devotee, I found Firefly's futuristic antebellum to be the best television show I've ever seen. I may never forgive Fox for their ineptitude in killing it.

Science fiction ping.

So many funny one-liners on that show. Truly brilliant comedic writing. I hope they carry on the tradition in the movie and it gets picked up again for a series on Sci-Fi. By the way, were is Book in the movie???

Firefly was the best thing to hit the airwaves in a long, long time. The characters were interesting and it was refreshing to see a sci-fi show that revolved around interesting stories and not all about special effects. I realized the show had integrity and was geared to an intelligent audience when I noticed that the vaccum of space was correctly depicted as not being able to carry soundwaves. And no funky space aliens -- just humans! And the dialog was mostly in English but with an occasional Chinese phrase or word (often a swear word) thrown in. It all seemed to work and be natural. Firefly borrowed from science fiction and westerns but the resulting mixture was something very original.

Firefly Rocks. Absolutely.

I'm hoping that the movie will give Firefly a new lease on life on television.

"At its best, science fiction advocates liberty. While Star Trek lamentably supported a "Federation knows best" mentality, other works like Star Wars and Robert Heinlein's novels have promoted the dissolution of central rule and the triumph of the individual."

Ms. Hinson regrettably misinterprets Star Wars. Lucas's story, at least the classic (better) trilogy, is a story of civil war -- two opposed factions are fighting over control of a galactic government, not over the right to secede from it. In fact, in the Expanded Universe novels for many years (at least up until the point where I gave up on everything but the X-wings), the New Republic is simply the Empire with a council of bitter elites and military commanders running things instead of Sith Lords.

We can't wait for the movie! We bought the DVD's and are watching them. We've missed the first couple of weeks that it's been on the Sci-Fi Channel because we were in Japan, but we'll be watching it this week!!

[BlessedBeGod]

I bought this back on DVD in January. I think it's great.

BTW, it's #16 in DVD sales on Amazon at this moment.

I'm a big fan of Firefly.. To me it is about freedom... I thought the Space/Western combination was neat... I think that is going to be the future of space travel. It is not going to be neat or peaceful like Star Trek....

It sounds great. I'll have to check it out.
