the 1984 movie Streets of Fire had a really great cast, including Michael Pare, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis, Bill Paxton, Willem Dafoe and others i can't remember - that movie was probably the best thing Pare did (IMO) - and as much as i have tried to like other things he has done, i keep coming up with the same word - not good (ok, two words...)
Starhunter was on the right track - the plot was pretty good and production value was decent, but, unlike our favorite gang of lovable misfits in space, the chemistry just didn't work for me.
still really like Streets of Fire, though....

I saw the same deal on season 1 a while ago and took a chance - At $10, season 1 was barely worth it (that's 2 burritos after all). Season 2 was just more badness - pretty painful. I know because I watched every ep thinking it had to get better. 
There are some interesting Firefly things: bounty hunters, the Tullip is a "Trans-U" (Joss' joke or nod?), and perky Percy being all Kaylee-like. As cute as some consider her I just thought the actress was completely disinterested in her role and the show in general. Sorry, as much as I wanted to like the show the best thing about it is the Peter Gabriel theme music.

Think Andromeda with more boobs and half the budget. At $10 it's holding my interest- for the moment.

It is my firm belief boobies make anything better.
Don't believe me?

At least I was public about it!

I do agree with you, but they certainly didn't help BloodRayne *spits disgustedly to the side* Another Pare film but I really don't recommend going anywhere near it. I don't care how much a fan of vampire films you are or how good the game may have been.
Uwe Boll was the director... need I say more?
I hoped Starhunter would get better too. The ending was weak. It had potential but fell way short. The pre-Battlestar Galactica 2003 effect was cool though... but I won't give away the ending. Also a weak, weak, weak tie to Season 2. Doesn't mean I won't watch all the episodes though. I'm a sucker for space TV & movies, in fact I'm considering watching Andromeda... ya, I'm that bad off.

Yep, Uwe Boll does cancel out any points that boobies give to a film...

Hey now. Watch the first season and a half of Andromeda. It was only around "Ourobourous" in S2 that things fell apart (when Rev left and Trance turned into teen-Xena).
Hell, the pilot episode gave us Refractions of Dawn, who showed more personality in her three minutes of screentime than Sorbo managed for the last four seasons combined.

HaHaHa!!
Oh, I'll watch it... all the way through even. The way I see it, all Space type TV and movies have some redeeming quality. Some you just have to look harder for... and use some imagination... ok, maybe a LOT of imagination.
I just found the Magoog(sp?) to look too much like the goblins from Babes in Toyland.

'Course, by season 5, Andromeda wasn't really space-based anymore (blame Tribune, who cut their budget in half. Then cut that in half. Then cut that in half. . .).
