Just saw it last night and I am here to tell you that I wasnt suprised at all when it just plain sucked. Their big claim to fame this season is letterboxing. Ok, wow! Widescreen CRAP!

Yes, I am still amazed that crap like AnDUMeDUH can be out there and Firefly isnt.

The fact that stuff like Andromeda continues when Firefly is cancelled makes baby Jesus cry, I think. I've yet to have it explained to me as to what's so damn good about Andromeda in the first place. Every time I've tried to watch it, it's all been Kevin Sorbo starring as Kevin Sorbo and stock sci-fi cliches.

I'm just bitter, I guess.

I do watch Andromeda, but it has become a bit of a no-brain show recently. I think there was some serious decline in season three.

Plus, was it just me, or did nearly every episode of season three have Dylan seducing a female guest star. I mean, why do all these women find Dylan so attractive?!

I much prefer Harper. They should give Harper more to do - it would be a much better show then!

And I'm not quite sure how they're going to fill the gap left by Tyr's departure. Bringing back Rhade doesn't really work for me....

It's just scandalous that Andromeda is still on the air while Firefly has been cancelled. And while we're on the subject - what about Mutant X? How is that still going?!

Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”
Simon: “The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword?”
Zoe: “I think he knows which end to hold.”

*sigh* I'm gonna cry now... Andromeda is a big fat example of a good show that got totally bastardized... I stopped watching after the first episode of season 3 *mourns*

Oh how I long for the days of Angel Dark Demon Bright and It Makes a Lovely Light.

I agree 100%. I tried, really tried to watch Andromeda. (plus it's gorram annoying trying to spell it)I just could not do it. And they have Action Figues!!!

I have major issue with that. I even tried writing to the company that made them and they said they had no intention now or ever of making such a product.

Mal could take out Dylan in a second, He just might need Zoe & Jayne's help. Although I don't think Dylan would have lasted one bloody gorram centar (attempt at a Galactica reference) in Niska's chamber. I guess, I'm just bitter-er.

Just my opinion but I personally think "if" Jesus had to choose a favorite Sci-Fi, it would have been Firefly. Any argument??? OK then.

Heck, he would have picked Pigs in Space over Andromeda (Oh, I hate spelling that!)

I really liked the 1st season of Andromeda. The 2nd season was okay, but then the 3rd season went downhill fast. I watched the season 4 opener, and was not very impressed.

I agree the show had a lot of potential, but it seems like they rushed it too much. I mean come on, they went from no Commonwealth, to a full blown Commonwealth from one season to the next. Did they not have the storyline planned out?

I will not be tuning in anymore.

Ok, this is a decent enough thread for this.

I started watching Firefly because of a school project. I had to watch four TV shows and talk about the types of commercials that were aired on each, and the stereotyping and ethnic portrayls on it. (Major BS, I know). Anyway, I chose to do four Sci-Fi shows: Andromeda, Enterprise, Firefly, and MST3K. I had been watching Enterprise's first season for a while, and MST3K's always been one of my favorite shows. Anyway, I saw both Andromeda and FF for the first time and I have to say, one blew me away and the other just plain sucked. (You can guess which.) I wrote just pages and pages summarizing Firefly's greatness and never even did a synopsis for Andromeda or Enterprise. The sheer fact that Andromeda is still running while Firefly got cancelled makes me believe in Hank Parnell's "Firefly Conspiracy". In conclusion, Andromeda sucks, Firefly's great, and yet another amazing miscarraige of Justice has been carried out by the Fox Network.

Firefly was original.

Trek is *anything* but original, as they just use the same plots they've been using since 1968 over and over and over again, endlessly recycled with minor details changed...
Any trek is... well.. drek.
(if you don't get that one, I ain't explainin it to ya.)

Andromeda is falling into the same craptrap, and has rapidly become so completely awful I don't even bother with it, especially now that the only character who made it worth the bother is gone.

Question for the masses tho - since universal now holds the rights to firefly, can they not run show on UPN ? maybe not the old eps, if Fox still owns those (not sure on that, since what I know about that kinda law wouldn't fill a thumble..) but you think we can apply any pressure on Universal to get SOMETHING (even a making-of, or somesuch) running, FF-wise, on UPN ?

Just a thought,
-frem
trek is drek.

Hey, yeah, what if we could get them to show the three unaired eps? That would be sweet! Sure, they'd get NO ratings, but hell, i'd be able to tape them!

UPN is a paramount owned and operated company they will never air Firefly. they have ent and are actually happy with it.

WB is Warner brothers so no chance their either

FOX sucks and screwed the show so I dont think it'll come back their.

ABC is Disney and Miramax I believ. I could be wrong about the Mir part.

Just so you know their is the chance to get Firefly aire on NBC which has a deal with Universal. I doubt it will wind up their but we can hope. If it did move to NBC what time and day should it air and why.
