All of you out there that put down other shows/movies/etc. and the fans of those projects should feel ashamed of yourselves. Just because it isn't something you enjoy or choose to watch, doesn't mean it isn't any good.

On the whole, since traveling 'round thru other fandoms, I've found Browncoats to be the least likely to judge something else besides upon it's merit or to be rude or crude to other fandoms. Just sayin'.

But as I see everything since Firefly, I see it as about 3 notches down from Firefly... Everything is in relation to Firefly. Heroes? About 5 notches below Firefly. And I still love Heroes, too. Firefly is waaaaay up there.

This here's exactly the sorta thing I wanted to say. So, yeah, what Grizwald said. :)

Exactly.
I think for me it's a yardstick I cannot stop using. When I discuss scifi or literature with friends and family Firefly inevitably comes up and wins as favorite hands down. It doesn't mean I don't love other things, it doesn't mean I can't let other things transport me or that I can't give other things that first try. It just means that so far Firefly beats them all. I will continue to seek out and watch genre because that's my favorite thing, and one of these days maybe Firefly will lose #1 position. I doubt it though.

The irritating thing is when so many browncoats feel the need to establish a kind of street cred by stating that series "x" is only 75% as good as Firefly. Seriously, just about every thread started in TOSF board contains responses of this nature. I think we can all agree that the BDS is one of, if not the best series to ever grace TV. That's why we're all here correct?

When trying to assign a place for Firefly in my own hierarchy I have a difficult time due to the lack of material. It is hard for me to compare the BDS with it's 13 outstanding episodes to other series which ran for several seasons. Even my favorite shows had some terrible episodes. Some had entire seasons which could have been tossed on the scrap heap. The bad still doesn't take away from my affection for a series on the whole. I only wish there would have been a few bad episodes of Firefly

what is with so many people, particularly joss, being in love with battlestar galactica? i think it's freaking horrible. it sucks so much. the writing is awful, the acting wooden and lame, and the special effects suck. it's all around horrific.

It started out ok. Now it's unwatchable. Too many 'clever' plot twists. From Lee and Starbuck being in love with each other to guess who's a cylon. What's next is Adama or Starbuck a cylon? Really it's become absolute crud.

I liked the first and second series but as of Yet Australia hasn't seen any series 3 not even those bloody webisodes that were suppose to be so great because according to the site i don't live in America so i can't watch them.

Still Zoic did a good job on the show even if they just did all the same techniques (Eg rack zooms and focuses). Atleast they put the firefly ship in the minimovie.

Battlestar Galactica might end its run after its fourth season, according to actor Edward James Olmos.

The statement was later confirmed by show creators Ronald Moore and David Eick, who said the show was "always meant to have a beginning, middle, and finally, an end".

Sources also said the plan is to split the final season in two 10-episode halves, with the second half airing in 2009.

Talk about old news. It's been confirmed since March or so that the upcoming season is the last.

And for what it's worth, I'm one of those who thinks it's still the best sghow on TV right now.

I listened to a podcast this morning that said at a BSG panel at Dragon Con one of the actors mentioned that Sci Fi might split the fourth and final season into two parts and stretch them out over two years.

Did anyone who went to Dragon Con attend any of the BSG panels? Any truth to this rumor?
