I just got to watch Firefly for the first time and..


Its just brilliant.
Reminds me of a time when movies and shows had
something distinctive to them, call it a heart or soul if you want.
Not like today with all the casual and trivial characters and plot,
that you are likely to forget the next day and sometimes do not even know
the names of some characters anymore.

I can finally understand the blow it was for fans having it cancelled.

Imagine it was (re)made with the budget and possibilities of something
like Westworld, GoT and the like..

On the other hand maybe the low budget look and light-heartedness
just made it that great.

On his way down past each floor,
he kept saying to reassure himself
So far so good...

I had the same reaction when I first viewed it. Was watching and bought the DVD set the next day so I could see them all in proper order. Did it in one sitting.

The best show that should have run for years.

So glad you got to watch the series and enjoy it for what it was in its brief, shiny moment. :) Gorram it, got somethin' caught in my eye... It would have been a show to marvel at if it had been given another season or six.

Bah, I'm sad they're taking out the message boards. Hope they add in something (not Facebook-login-centric) that still allows people to connect in ways like this after having positive experiences with shows and movies. Browncoats forever!
