Wow, I haven't been in the OT forum for a LONG time ... well anyway ...

Recently a friend of mine let me borrow his set of FIREFLY, for those who don't know (I didn't) it's a sci-fi-western kinda series (but not so much "western" as "western-influenced", I suppose) created by Joss Whedon (guy who did Buffy and Angel), and Fox screwed it up royally by airing the second episode first and the first episode last and NOT airing 3 of them ... pretty much what Fox does to good shows nowadays ...

But anyway, I started watching it, and got hooked. While I was saddened when the 14th and final episode was over, without offering a conclusion of any type, I found out that Universal is continuing it as a movie in September.

I was wondering what other Star Wars fans thought of Firefly - do you like it, hate it, not have any idea what the hell I'm talking about ... ?

I started a similar thread here (as did Shimraa in another similar thread) and it seems there's a few fans on these boards but not many. I really dig the show (as I'm a big Joss fan) and completely agree with you how Fox F'd it up royally. I encourage you and other members to share the DVDs and also tell them to start watching the show on the SciFi network starting this Friday at 7PM. They'll be showing it at that time slot for the entire series eps (as what was given on the DVDs). It's a great show, can't wait for the movie in Sept.

EDIT: Spelling mistake.

I too totally missed the show but am now hooked- and have been forwarding the DVDs to hook other people as well. Its a good move for Sci-Fi network to start showing the program as it should drum up even more interest in the film. Sept. 30 here we come!

I also reviewed the series at my site in my sig line.
