Has anyone here seen it? I was forced to watch it ;D and didn't like it to start with (I not very big at all on Wild West stuff so...)  The crewBut it certainly grew on me and now I loved it. Manged to get the DVDs for half price on WH Smith (I paid £15! Price on their website is 35...) in May and now I eagerly await the feature film Serenity, which is the sequel to the Firefly series. Premiers in September Met Adam Baldwin at LFCC in June, and though he was great! He kept signing all day (both Sat and Sun) and sang some songs even (the theme from the series and the "Jayne song" (those of you who've seen Firefly know what I mean). I will post a picture later (it's on my other computer) Anyhow I found this Firefly quiz www.warpcoresf.co.uk/fireflyquiz.php which I thought I'd share: I only got 7 out of 10, but I'm quite pleased with that - because even though I really like Firefly I haven't caught all the trivia about it... (found the link when I googled for warp core preach  Serenity trailer www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/daxmaryrussel --- Jayne: "Ten percent of nuthin' is...let me do the math here...nuthin' into nuthin'...carry the nuthin'..." |

I have not seen the movie yet- i am waiting for it patiently... When a friend reccomended firefly I did not like the idea of it at first , and also that it was from the guy who made me suffer buffy and angel (whedon)  Once I saw a few episodes I was hooked and bought the dvds immediately. |

Never liked firefly AT ALL!!! The show sucked like most of the way way overly P.C. science fiction programms they come out with nowadays, that is when the industry isn't out to ruin old favorites! The movie for this show has got to be some kinda propagandam by the P.C. nuts, or the feminest groups, or the gay groups, or any of the number of other organizations out to kill good science-fiction. Why can't we just get back to some good action-adventure oriented stuff, and have more of the appropriate things in the appropriate shows. SCREW FIREFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well after the previous opinion on Firefly what can I say.
I tried to watch but have to say the series was not my kinda thing. I dont dislike westerns so that part did not put me off I just dont know what it was but it didnt grab me. Same with the 'new' Dr Who and Andromeda.

I haven't seen the TV series at all but after seeing the movie Serenity yesterday I think I'll buy the TV series for a peek.
I thought the film was very enjoyable, I'm not sure if the captain had positive or negative charisma though which is odd lol
Favourite characters - and forgive my ignorance as I don't recall their names. the african american woman and the mechanic. Thought they were both fab!

get the series you will NOT regret it. just seen serenity and loved it - though I'd rather have had a 2nd series  there's a decent firefly spoof here: www.mosquitoverse.com/index.htmlquite well done. yup that mechanic is quite good - theres a good episode where she dresses up like the fancy women you see in westerns-she scrubs up quite well hehe. As for the captain - he shines more in the series - well they all do. |

I got round to seeing the film this week and I really liked it, I have seen bits of firefly on scifi channel but never really payed much mind to it. I wanted to see Serenity when it was at the cinema just never got round to it like a few films out there. Ah well, never mind at least I've seen it now lol (I didn't know Firefly and Serenity was linked until someone pointed it out to me! lol)

Cool, TY Arbo. I would love to at least see a sequel to Serentity, but the actress who played River, Summer Glau, is on another show, The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is set a year after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, following Sarah and her son. Summer plays a terminator, Cameron Phillips, who is sent into the past to help Sarah and her son stop things from happening.

Wow, that sounds interesting, I think Summer would make a very good terminator.

She was totally excellent in that role, and I hope they make more of them.

I've seen Serenity will be coming out on Blue-Ray very soon (for those lucky enough to have it) I do wonder/hope if they make enough from sales they will do another...
