I've been pondering the same thing.
It will at least tell Netflix they need more FF copies on hand!

This is the Netflix write-up for Firefly:

"Set almost 500 years in the future, this short-lived but much-loved TV series follows the adventures of the ragtag crew (Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk and others) of the transport spaceship Serenity. No job is too small, too dirty or too close to the line of illegality for the crew to tackle to remain fed and fueled. But when a passenger is wanted by the ruling Alliance regime, the Firefly must hide out the dangerous fringes of space."



"The Firefly" notwithstanding, that's one of the better summaries I've ever seen for our BDS!

It IS one of the better summaries- which is kind of sad, really. It's just a hard show to put in a few sentences, I suppose.

This is shiny!
Wish I knew my mom's netflix password. I keep trying to get her to watch Firefly and she hasn't. Maybe if she got it in the mail she would watch it (plus it would drive up the ranking). But I don't know her password, and it would be quite pointless of me to join.

I just tried to give my rating for Firefly on there, and you don't have to be a member. You just click on the stars (obviously 5 stars) and it saves it. I don't think it will get it any higher on the list, but it might at least boost it's rating.

"The Firefly" is perfectly good usage in the sentence quoted. Suppose the show in question was about a Mississippi riverboat or WWII PT boat named "Serenity" -- if they referred to her as "the riverboat" or "The PT boat", it wouldn't be incorrect.

But hey, top 25; not too shabby.

As I've said before, Firefly/Serenity isn't so much the new Star Wars/Star Trek as it is "The little engine that could"...
