Simply Awesome

I saw the movie Serenity before I saw the series, but I am totally hooked! The dialogue, the plot, and especially the characters all fit so well together. If I had one wish, it would be to bring the series back with all th original characters and writers. WATCH THIS SERIES!!

Are you a Browncoat?

Joss Whedon's Firefly series is an enigma. It's not hard core science fiction - pistols in space? But it is strangely addictive not only to science fiction fans but anyone who enjoys a good yarn.
I originally approached this series skeptically after hearing about it from a friend. However, after buying the box set the next thing I knew I had stayed up all night going through episode after episode. Why? In all honesty some episodes were better than others and I found I preferred ones written by either Tim Minear or Joss Whedon though I enjoyed them all. But here are some other reasons.
The ship, I love the ship! But how? No laser guns, no weapons at all - it's a cargo ship - rather a smuggler's ship. This is the type of ship that the just emerging space travelers from some distant unknown and unnecessary planet would have on any other series, but on Firefly it is a character of it's own. Whedon's interior is masterfully perfect for the characters that man it. It's an electic mix of furniture where the majority of the vessel looks like my great grandmother's house in rural Indiana.
Wash's (Alan Tudyk) pilot station is personalized like any cube in corporate America. Contrast this with Inara's (Morena Baccarin) shuttle where she conducts her "companion" activities - again perfect. Whedon made a great choice when building's the set to have it be one complete set. The camera follows the characters throughout Serenity in many scenes and this makes the entire story come to life.
But it's obviously not just the ship but those inside.
The character development throughout the series is what will keep you coming back for more. This is what is so sad about the death of the series. Serenity the feature film brought some closure in some areas but far too abrupt. Therefore, I'm left with re-watching the same episodes over and over wondering what might have been.
So I guess like many of you out there, I too am Browncoat. You can't stop the signal!

the best

Firefly is unique and completely deserves its passionate fan devotion.
One of the best things ever produced for television.

Not that it will make much difference...

...but I just want to pitch in my bit and say, really, this is my favorite things in the world series. I'm not a fan of television, and I really only watch series on DVD these days, after meticulous researching a show. But I can't quite remember how I decided to watch Firefly. I know it was after I saw Serenity in theaters -- before that, I had never heard of it. But I do remember the movie blew me away, and eventually I got the series from the library.

Now, when I fall for things (particularly movies and books), I fall HARD. I mean, I glow and rave and go on and on about the stuff. And eventually, I get around to buying 'em, and look on proudly as they sits on my shelves. Unfortunately, that's all they do for years. Sit on the shelves. Being admired and remembered, but never watched. That is, until Firefly.

I just cannot watch these 14 episodes enough. Since I got the series last Christmas, I've watched them all the way through 3 times (which is a lot for me) and I often put one on as background noise while I multi-task, but that never works because I just end up mesmerized by the crew of Serenity once again.

It's hard to explain what it is that casts this spell, because I'm not drawn to either the sci-fi or western genres as a rule. But all the elements works so well together, and just pull you along like a perfect song.

Superior

Excellent Sci-Fi Series!

I can recommend this one very, very much!
The best sci-fi series, I have ever seen!
(Battlestar Galactica is second best)

All 14 "Firefly" episodes are very, very good!
But unfortunately the series is not in Dolby Digital 5.1,
just Dolby Surround. The movie "Serenity", however, is in Dolby Digital 5.1.

Although the series "firefly" is so good, the movie "Serenity" tops it.

I think almost everyone will enjoy "firefly" and "Serenity",
not just the sci-fi fans.

Other very good Sci-Fi movies, which I can recommend are (for example):

Aeonflux
Alien (Quadrilogy)
Aliens vs. Predator Requiem (unrated)
Battlestar Galactica (Almost every episode is good)
Battlestar Galactica Razor (Unrated Extended Edition)
Bladerunner - Final Cut
Doom
Species I, II, III, IV
Starship Troopers

Kind regards,

Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.
