Hey, as a newcomer to both Firefly and BSG, I'm sure you guys already know this, but I'll post it anyway.

My friend lent me the first season of BSG after I heard it was voted one of the top 10 TV dramas of the year by the AFI. I figured I oughta check it out. I've seen Serenity, and own FIrefly (but have yet to see all of it), but I didn't watch it when it originally aired.

SO there's my backstory.

Anyways, I was watching the first episode of the BSG miniseries last night, and early on they showed a bunch of ships flying past...and I coulda sworn I saw one that looked just like Serenity. So I rewound and freeze-framed it, and lo and behold, this was what I found:



I thought that was really cool. For anyone who hasn't seen BSG, they also steal some stuff from Firefly, such as the quick camera movements and zooms. It's a cool show, but it's no FIrefly.

Anyways, just thought I'd share that.

Cool!! Looks like I'm gonna have to start watching BSG.









Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship.
Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.

Well, you should watch the entire season 1 and half of season 2. BSG really grows on you. I remember starting seeing it after i'd seen firefly and wanted something more good stuff. In the beginning i didnt think much of it. But as i've seen all that has been made so far i really love that show. Sure, it still doesnt match firefly (but hey, what does?). Still a very good show.

I will. Oh, no, though, another series. I'll never get out of the house. Fine by me. Need something to fill the void.






Book: Shouldn't we report this?
Mal: To who? The Alliance? Right. They're gonna run right out here lickety-split and make sure these taxpayers are okay.

Oh.....ANDRE83 This may sound stupid but how old is BSG? Most folks have already been into it, but I don't have much time to watch tv and I know I've seen it but not sure when it came out and ended.



Zoe: Sir, I know she's unpredictable, but I don't think she'd harm anyone.
Jayne: Butcher's knife!
Zoe: Anyone we can't spare.

Lol, I watched enough of last summer's SciFi Channel reruns to know I absolutely loved the show, and bought the DVD with about 5 or 6 episodes still to watch. Now I'm rewatching the whole series with my brother, but it's hard to find time to watch it. I can't wait to finish, though!
