Firefly
 

I just finished watching these DVD's and it left me with an overwhelming sense of sadness. I had watched Serenity a year or so ago and wasn't particularly impressed so it took me a while to get around to watching the tv show. I immediately loved all the characters and the story, and seeing it get cut off so abruptly knowing that it has no chance of ever coming back (it's been what, 5 years?) was depressing. I can't believe it diden't even make it through half a season.

yeah, the show was incredibly awesome. I felt the same sadness (I just watched them for the first time a couple months ago).

Also reading all the fan support and everything that went on in trying to get the show back and the eventual movie made was pretty incredible.

the "out of gas" episode is my favorite hour of TV ever.

Re: Firefly
 

I saw the movie 1st, and just started the only season.
Great show, no doubt.

Re: Firefly
 

yeah honestly I wouldn't think I'd be into a futuristic Western, but it was extremely well done. I also got emo as I popped in the final disc.

Re: Firefly
 

For those of you who watched the movie first, what was your initial impression of the movie? Good/bad/mediocre?

I did the smart thing and watched the TV series first and I think that made me appreciate what they did with the movie a bit more.

QFT.

It's a travesty this show didn't take off.

Re: Firefly
 

Like usual it was advertised and handled horribly by tv. It should still be airing new ep's today [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Re: Firefly
 

wait, I'm kind of confused. I thought the "movie" was just the first 2 hours of the series.

I watched the movie first, and my intial impression was "pretty good".
I knew it was from a TV series, but I didn't have a clue what to expect.
The western sci-fi thing works really good in an updated Hans Solo kind of way.
I'm only 2 episodes into the TV seasons, but they already seem better than the movie.
