Finishing up Firefly.

Now I'm scared to post in this thread, but I'm known for my stupidity, so I'm doing it anyway since I don't wanna make another one.

I saw Serenity, and liked it okay - it was average fare, when it came to sci-fi flicks. Good special effects, interesting enough characters, way MORE backstory than I thought possible in a two-hour film, poke-fun-at-cliche-lines dialogue... and I had no idea at that point that Firefly even existed.
Then, a few months later, I come back to my apartment and see my roommates watching something that looks like Serenity, but... what, a straight-to-DVD sequel or something? WTF is this? No no, it's Firefly. It intrigued me, but I still wasn't gung-ho about it and didn't bother to watch more than one episode all the way through.
Then a few months after that, I had the opportunity to borrow the DVD boxset from a friend. After the pilot, I fell in love. These characters seemed so much more fleshed-out, unrushed, and real than those in Serenity. It gave me answers and MORE questions, and I felt completely robbed after watching the last episode and knowing that for the forseeable future, there would be no more.
Now I'm getting my hands on everything related to Firefly that I can. I've never had a desire to watch Buffy or Angel, and I still don't, even though people say Joss Whedon supposedly did some of his best work there. Hearing the person I consider to be a master author, Orson Scott Card, praise this show as the BEST sci-fi series ever to hit television, and in many ways the first GOOD one, blew me away. High praise, but I agreed with it. Babylon 5 was fun, Star Trek was innovative, but THIS... this was absolutely an amazing series.

Character continuity was a bit muddled due to the studio's refusal to air the PILOT first, and I would agree that because of the circumstances each episode was written in, we sometimes got a confused vision of where the show was heading, especially in terms of character development. But overall, the characters, show, feeling and attitude were the most entertaining I've encountered in a sci-fi show.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hm, yes. I'd much rather make another thread, and have everyone re-hash what they argued forever about here, than revive this one and let people look back at their own stupidity... or not.

LeHah...

...

Heheh. Did I miss these little exchanges?
Yeah I totally did. That's about all I can say, considering you didn't poke fun at anything in particular.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
