Firefly
Well, it would appear that the only Firefly thread around here was started 2 years ago, so I didn't think it was worth necromancing. So...
Anyone else around here watch this? I've seen the first five episodes ("Shindig" through "Out of Gas"), as well as "The Message" (which is one that never aired, and the first Firefly episode I saw). Love the show. Especially the theme song. It's quite amazing what you discover in college.

I loved Firefly. It was unlike anything I ever saw. Josh Whedon's a god alright.
How braindead must one have been to axe a show like that! I still got to see the Serenity-movie, though.

Never managed to see the show, alas, but thought "Serenity" was very good, though everyone tells me the show was better.

I thought the show had potential, but it never lived upto it's promise IMO. the movie was better.

So, I've just watched all but the last two episodes, I must say, Trash was quite the episode. Unforgettable ending, that's for sure.

Yeah! I love firefly! It was a totally awesome show.
I'm glad it ended early on, though. I hate it when shows just drag on and on because they were good at first, and then they just collapse into a pile of crap. |

True, that would've been bad. But it could've gone on for at least another series, you'd think...

It hurts the Josh says he wouldn't do more even if he had the chance. I agree with Tessar that it's better short then long, but that was too short!
