It's been 6 years since Firefly, the show seems dated and other series are better now...

NOT!!

Although Stargate Atlantis & Heroes have caught my fancy, I fear no other show ever will ever grab me like this one did.

...well...

No, I don't think even Dollhouse will...

Damn you Joss!!!

That's fightin' talk for a subject - but luckily it was just a clever ruse to get people to reply .

Only found FF at Xmas this year (I know, where have I been?!) but I think it will take a lot to persuade me to switch to another show. I must admit to having misgivings about Dollhouse too....but Joss has not produced a crap show yet so I have high hopes.

I've just started watching the 'new' Battlestars (again, I realise that I am somewhat behind!) and I'm really enjoying them, it has great action, the story is very good and the dialogue is better than most (though not up to Joss' standard, obviously!).

Although they are very different shows I think FF is the superior show. That's why we're all here, after all!

Oh damn! Snap! Totally got me. I was fired up. And you know how I get sometimes. I was going to write a vulgarity filled insult then translate it into Chinese. Something along the lines of eating shit, monkey fucking, and heavy on the "your mom is a whore" theme.

Nicely done chrisisall

Clever...

As to the person who's getting into BSG; it's good until last season.

It kind of bites, but they've got a recap which ain't so bad.

Huge spoiler here, but a good recap.

A grave that the Burmans shun;
And there's Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.

Obviously you haven't seen much of the third season of BSG. Total shark jumper. I was so pumped after the season opener then every week after that I was let down like a ton of bricks through flimsy plywood floors of approval.

I'm with everyone else. I was fixing to use my most vulgar and offensive words and smilies. Then I saw who posted it and that it was a joke... you're meanisall.

Stargate Atlantis is good, so was Journeyman after it got over it's somewhat slow, disappointing first couple episodes. Chuck is really good and T:TSCC is ok but not really my favorite new show. There is a new Stargate series coming soon and another new series called Warehouse 13 which has Jane Espensen on the writing staff.. I think she was involved in creating the series too. I need to read about it again, it's been awhile. There's Eureka too... but like you said none of those shows have what Firefly had. It might have been it's tragic demise but that doesn't explain the oldest, most diehard fans. You guys and gals fell in love with it at the beginning.

I've given up hope on ever finding a series I love as much as Firefly. It's like that first great love of you life that you lost. You'll find love again but it'll never be as sweet. You just have to remember and learn to appreciate what ya got.

Jewel(Kaylee) is on Stargate Atlantis, she's a regular as of the upcoming season 5(Just recurring in 4). Adam(Jayne) is a regular on the NBC comedy/spy drama Chuck. Alan(Wash) has a legal drama coming out next fall... look it up I can't remember the name. Summer(River) is the new terminator on T:TSCC(Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Nathan(Mal) is on Desperate Housewives but for how long is anyones guess. He also has a number a good movies, Waitress(Out on DVD) White Noise 2(Out on DVD) and Slither... (Also out on DVD). Morena(Inara) is the baddie in the recently released Stargate: SG1 DVD movie The Ark of Truth.

Our Big Damn Heroes are still out there. Firefly boosted a few great actors into full-blown stars. It left it's mark on the world and it won't go away. It'll grow and grow since we only know how to love this show and spread the word any way we can.

I'm sorry for being so sappy but in writing this I started feeling more and more sentimental and realized just as I was typing it that I'll never love a show as much as I do Firefly.

P.S. I may never love a woman as much either... I just realized this too and it disturbs me a bit.

I knew without looking who had created this thread, but wasn't sure if it was serious until I read it.

For my money, the only show since Firefly to be almost as good, and perhaps when it is all done, better, is LOST.
