Anyone seen this show? I rented the first three episodes at the video store the other day. Very good! It's kind of like Star Trek.

What can go wrong with a 'tough guy' named Jane? Nothing!

A+ show, and I am glad to see it back on air. I was one of about 9 users at Yahoo that cried when it went off the air a couple years or so back.

You can't top a sci-fi western... never!

I'd never seen it on TV. Never even heard of it till my 8 year-old son recommended it to me two days ago. I kind of got it just to humor him, but ended up really liking it. I would never guess that the whole sci-fi / western thing would work, but it really does.

Do you have the sci-fi channel? It is on at about 7pm Eastern Fridays.... I think they will come with new episodes some time soon, right now it seems to be the first season that got hacked a few years or so back.

Ug, I love the song...

No new series, sorry to say. Two more movies, however.

Firefly for the win; I've had the boxset for the best part of since it came out. 😛 Saw it on TV one night, and bought the boxset. Wonderful viewing.

Yeah, please tell us. I'd be interested too. I'm almost done with the first season. Really bummed they never made a second season.

Here's a link to the movie (it was awesome)

http://www.amazon.com/Serenity-Widescreen-Nathan-Fillion/dp/B000BW7QWW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-9553389-4828862?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1190694041&sr=8-2

As for places with info on the show, I know http://broawncoats.com was a big fan site back when fans were trying to revive the show.

I dunno how useful it is, but sci-fi has an area of their website http://scifi.com/firefly

and a forum section
http://forums.scifi.com/index.php?s=26243d79fdfb9185852e0ef02f93a362&showforum=80

dedicated to the show.

I actually gave the show a pass after seeing the premiere years ago. What a mistake that was. I've since watched the DVD set of the first season and saw the movie in the theater. I hope they make more movies.

It was a good series.
There was a movie called "serenity" which was meant to be the final episode.

Firefly is fantastic; glad you discovered it, rb! And if the space scenes with their "steadycam" feel seem familiar to anyone who's watching the new Battlestar Galactica series, they should. The guys who do the space scenes in BSG cut their teeth doing Firefly.

As usual for a Joss Whedon show, dialog is king, and he does it really well.

It's a damn shame they canceled the show after 13 eps. The movie's pretty good, though, and it ties up the whole Reaver thing pretty well.

Those of you playing Halo 3 may notice that two actors from Firefly provide voice talent for several of the UNSC marines: Nathon Fillion and Adam Baldwin. In another BSG connection, Katie Sackhoff ("Starbuck"😉 also provides the voice for one of the female marines.

Favorite FF episode: the one where they visit the mud town and Jayne is a folk hero.

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jane

And the best line in that episode comes from Wash:

"We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm a hero!"
