The past week my friend "reintroduced" me to Firefly. He had taped only 8 episodes from the Scifi Channel when it ran a Firefly marathon. But even then, I am hooked! Shiny show!

I've got the the remaining episodes coming in on Netflix and I will definately borrow "Serenity" from another friend.

Can't wait!!

Well, welcome aboard! Good to know the show is still continuing to draw people in!

I'm a die hard Trekkie too. I have to say that nothing has affected me the way Serenity and her crew have. I'm obsessed now with everything about them.

Funny, bright, and showing what true loyalty is all about, Mal is my hero.

I look out for me and mine... that don't include you 'lessen I conjure it does.

I know how you feel. There's a lot of other shows out there that I love - but Firefly and Serenity is something else! It's just a gorram shiny, special show! I was hooked right from the first moments I started to watch it too!

Here's hoping there's more of the good stuff to come!

This show is so important to me because it is the one show that didn't treat it's audience like idiot children. Joss doesn't come right out and smack you over the head with everything. There are shades of grey everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if even Niska would be helping our crew out at some point. We have mysteries everywhere to keep us curious and entertained. The crew all seemed like real people. They fought, they laughed, they loved. The actual actors were the same. I love the outtakes almost as much as the episodes, because it lets me see the awesome real people behind the characters. The show just makes you fall in love. I don't know many people who won't fight for something they love.

It matters because it's soo good.

The problem is, there is so much rubbish on TV that actually finding something good is near on impossible.

I missed the show on TV and only bought the series on DVD because I am a fan of SciFi. It took a while for me to get into it because it is so different.

As I watched each episode, the combination of interesting characters, the romantic, hippy comuneesque ship and the humour made me really enjoy each story. The episode with the funeral at the end was, in my opinion the best thing I had watched on TV ever.

I fear that the show may be left to fade into SciFi legend. Lets just hope that if it is ever made again, it doen't go "Epiode 1" and spoil what went before.

Thanks Mr Weadon you have made me enjoy SciFi again, thanks Fox (fools), and hello and thanks to the actors if you ever read this stuff.

Three words:

Orson Scott Card (on Serenity)

"It's great.

I'm not going to say it's the best science fiction movie, ever.

Oh, wait. Yes I am."

Can someone actually tell me why they did cancel the show? I heard that they didnt like it because it was a little too political or is that bull.

Plitics have become a major discussion point because all other lines of reason have been exhausted. I am under the firm opinion that the show was caneled to limited veiwing and that Fox generally has its head up its and always cancels there best shows.

Same, i believe that `Firefly` and `Serenity` are THE BEST sci-fi productions i have ever seen. I mean things where you have a camera, facing a garage with painted walls and a bunch of people in it pretending to be serious and pretending to fall over things is kinda....old fasioned.
Well directed, well acted work like this should not be taken off air.
I've seen some really bad things on TV lately.....they are just funny because they are just so badly made.

Anyone up for a rebellion at Fox's HQ?

Greatz!
