I noticed the uneven writing too. Even with just watching 7 episodes, one was really good, two were ok, the others were dismal.
Carvaggio gone? I liked him. And Percy... she does seem to be all over the place. Sometimes she comes across as sneaky and self absorbed, almost nasty and other times as perky or bubblely.
I'll watch them all and do what I do with other movie or shows that I thought had a good premise, I'll file away the good parts and think "What if good writers wrote for this story?" But I won't write it off.
It'll sit on my self next to Space Above and Beyond, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25TH Century and of course, Firefly.

Letov, I haven't seen farscape yet. I'm having a hard time getting past the "muppets in space" feeling. But I've heard good reviews so I may have to check it out.
Pizmo, I just rewatched Serenity, the Firefly pilot, not the movie and caught the Trans-U reference. Did you noctice in the Starhunter episodes if Dante always calls the Tulip his "boat" or was it a rare occurance?
Traveller, even the Tulip has some similarities to Serenity. The big globe thingy on the back is an engine of sorts... I think..

I've never seen the show, so I can't comment on that but... that image makes me think of 'Wormhole X-treme!', the spoof Sci-fi show in the 100th episode of Stargate SG1.
I mean... look at them!
Soooo a Firefly copy!

I've only ever seen a few episodes of the second season. Wasn't the greatest but there wasn't much Sci-Fi going on at the time I watched it.
I believe I actually saw it about the same time as Firefly (saw on the Space Channel in syndication up here in Canada, I saw more episodes in order and Heart of Gold was aired). However, I never drew the parallels; I pretty much abandoned Starhunter in the street when I saw Firefly... and then realised Firefly wasn't going to last long.
It's a damn shame; Starhunter had the potential to be good and continued, Firefly was good but was cancelled.

Starhunter had the potential to be good, Firefly was good.
I think that sums it all up perfectly TPage! And yet as you said both were cancelled. But Starhunter had a follow-up season two years later and Firefly had a movie. That there is the differnce between potential and actually being good.
DeskTopHippie, I thought the same thing, that it was a copy as sooo many shows are nowadays, until I found out, Starhunter came out a year before Firefly.

Sorry, I don't recall - it's been a while - I pretty much zeroed out file
Forgot to mention my (only) favorite part of the show was the Peter Gabriel theme songs - "Darker Star," pretty cool.

actually Firefly was produced during the break between the two season (check the wikipedia link in my first post).

I can't believe that came out before Firefly. It looks just like a copy! It doesn't even look like something Firefly copied, it looks like a bad copy of Firefly!
LOL at the image of Wash watching the show on the cortex, with a big bowl of popcorn and a happy grin. Hee hee hee!
