Woah!!!! That was bitchin!!!

Took me right back to the eighties. I loved it! Of course it's no substitute for the genuine article but loadsa fun! Aside from the type which is Airwolf/Automan it has the kick ass tune 'SYBEX FACTOR' from Mark Shreeve -who is a British synthesizer dude. (Kinda like our equivalent to Jean Michel Jarre!) It's so weird hearing his music to a Whedon show. He,he.

Brilliant!

It looked like they were about to put Sean in just before Summer, but forgot and skipped it.

The thing is...Firefly's opening has the western feel that the whole show has. With this techno stuff, it just doesn't fit.

Airwolf font, and a Casio keyboard is never a good sign.

That was so cheesy, it was the cheesiest. It had more cheese than mac and cheese or fries and cheese or even cheesy potatoes! It was so cheesy, I would spell it cheeeeezzzzeee.

The only thing I really like was the picts of the characters on the freezes. Reminded me of great moments!

But the original is still the best!

That was fun, a look back into the 80's but leaving Sean out, no. Still though it was very A-Team, Knight Rider-Airwolfy!

Dude, you said Automan and it brought back some fond memories. Try Mann and Machine (or was that in the 90's). Let's take it a step further and have The Hoff as Captain Reynolds.

Still though, there's nothing like the original.
The horses running under Serenity is beyond classic, it's Epic!

Now I'm terrified of the haunting image of Firefly 80's style. Every female character with a bad perm, Mal's mullet, Jayne wearing even more muscle shirts, River and her legwarmers, Wash in pink shirts and a headband...

Good lord.

... painted flames on Serenity that is a bad image.
Book would have had a huge 'fro though, and that's always cool.

I honestly lurved me this video like no one's business, especially for what it was: a SPOOF of 80s action shows!

It gives me the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia of my childhood in the 80s and all the cheesy series there were about modern day lone wolf heroes using futuristic vehicles and technology to save the world. Which honestly is far flung from the point of Firefly and Serenity, admittedly and why the actual credits are still awesome and the best fit. Still, it plays up the arguably best of the 80s without the aforementioned bad perms and wacky fashion styles
