Wow!!! Those episodes were good. Each had their own quality to them. Really enjoyed them. Don't want to talk plot since some of you haven't seen them. Boy, it sure makes me sad that Fox gave up on this wonderful show. Too bad there will not be any more regular episodes. :(

Cheer up weepy. :) I remain thoroughly convinced that we will see Firefly again in its proper serial form... and when we do, it will be entirely on Joss Whedon's terms, not subject to the whims of trash TV.

Whoo hoo! You said it Sarge!

I'm nowhere near giving up on Firefly yet. I just can't accept that a show this well done will stay off the air. I'm still 'supposing' about what plots and twists we will see in season 2 and beyond. Keep Flyin'.

It will be back, even if I gotta go Jayne on some dumbass TV execs.

But I'm not bitter at all

I got a question about trash though. Why did the alliance outlaw the bobble head dolls. Was it just because they are evil or was there maybe another motive? Damn alliance. First they take away our freedom and then our bobble head dolls.

I don't think the bobble headed dolls were illegal. The crew of Serenity does legal stuff when it's available. They do whatever they can as long as it's their kind of ethical-- not always legal, just not what they think is bad.

They outlaw things that show home planet sprit, maybe these were bobble head dolls in commemoration of something that was form a specific planet. Like the way the Nazis outlawed that festival of giants celebration in France. (It was in France wasn't it?)

Damn straight we'll see Firefly again... to hell with TV... TV as we used to know it is dead... DEAD, y'hear me! Direct to DVD is the way of the future for genre shows. Screw the TV wasteland... use it for a few promo episodes then release the series as it was meant to be shown... without network interference, ratings and no freakin' commercials! Let the fans testify to the quality of the shows with their wallets... how many shows have gone down the tubes due to direct or indirect interference of ratings, huh? 10? 20? 100? Let's list a few... seaQuest DSV went down the shitter due to ratings... people jumped all over that first season UFO episode and because of those ratings, the whole 2nd season dove into stupid plots and continued down the toilet, until ratings, which had driven it in the moron direction in the first place, killed it for good. Star Trek was turfed because of ratings... so was Galactica... and Sliders... and Space: Above and Beyond... and Earth 2... and Dark Angel... and of course Firefly... how many others have to die until someone stops this madness?!?

There's my late night rant for the week... forget TV... nothing but reality crap these days anyway... send a whole season direct to DVD and skip the middleman entirely. I'll be in my bunk...

In the episode it says that they smuggled the bobble head dolls past the alliance so i think either Christhesynic is right or maybe they have a high bobble head doll tarriff that somebody doesn't want to pay.
