I just got one of the poorly produced DVD's from Starhunter season one with Micheal Pare.

Not the greatest show I've ever watched, but I didn't think it was terrible... close, but not terrible. It suspect part of my not thinking it was terrible was my wanting it to be good...

In watching it, I noticed a lot of Fireflyisms.

The obvious parallels are that it was cancelled early, the episodes on the DVD are all out of order (At least it got 22 episodes).

Then there's the troubled captain (Dante), the security officer with special ops background (Lucretia), and a spunky teenaged, engineer (Percy), and a Badger type character assigning them "jobs" (Rudolpho).

Has anyone else seen this? Has anyone else noticed this or am I just comparing Firefly to all the space shows I see now?

BTW: there was a hiastus between its first and second series in which the other show that completly ripped it off was made (went by the name of Firefry??? not sure..)

Oh yeah! I forgot about Dante's coat.

Hmmm... where have I seen that done before?

Am I wrong or is the TULIP markedly different in the new series?

It's very tempting to imagine that Whedon saw this show, was irritated that the attractive motifs were buried beneath the appalling acting and low production values and that he incorporated some of them in his show. I honestly think that it's more likely that the similarities are just part of the zeitgeist.

If you can plough through season one, the season two development of Percy's character does have some interest and the role of Rudolpho is expanded - Tanya Allen and Steven Marcus can act - I missed Murray Melvin's Caravaggio, tho.

Only watch this show if you have a life to waste, evidently I do.

BTW
does anyone know if Michael Pare was the model for Bob Harris in Lost in Translation?

I have never even heard of this show. Might have to put it on Netflix, if they even have it that is.

-EDIT- They do have it on Netflix, so people who subscribe to it can check it out. You will have to scroll down quite a ways to find it.

Everybody always has the advantage over us, but that's what makes us special...and Browncoats.

Three people have seen it. It wasn't the same after they got rid of the Dante, not as funny.

I like this ship, Serenity
