I used some of my Christmas money to finally buy the Firefly DVD box set. After spending the last week watching every episode, all I can say is that I really hate Fox. They cancel this well thought out, well written show half-way into it’s first season, yet they will air “Trading Spouses” and “Who’s my Daddy?” I get really pissed off when I think of all the crap that Fox continues to air, but they canceled a great show like Firefly.
Hopefully, the Firefly movie, Serenity, will sew up some of the mysteries left from the series, like Sheppard Book’s past, River’s abilities, and the blue-gloved people behind them.
I agree with you completely. Firefly was a great show with tremendous potential that was cancelled when the story was just starting to unfold.
I got hooked on a campy sci-fi called Oddyssey 5 kind of the same way, and then they just up and quit making the damn thing. At least I don’t know if any future episodes are planned.
My niece and her husband (JoAnn and James) gave Diane and I the Firefly boxed set. We hadn’t seen any episodes before. We’ve all the episodes on two out of four DVDs so far. It does seem an intriguing series.
