I never saw this when it was on TV, but within the last couple weeks I've been getting the discs from Netflix. All I can say is "what a shame it was canceled." This is such a great show! Now I have to watch "Serenity" again - I saw it with a friend and didn't know it was the "conclusion" of the series at the time. I can honestly say that this was probably the only show I've ever watched where I actually cared about what happened to the cast and wondered how they'd grow and develop. I especially wanted to see where River's character was taken, knowing what happens to her in Serenity. And Kaylee could easily be my dream girl, if not for her habit of taking things the wrong way. LOL

Welcome to the club. You now know the pain of many other people that this show did not get a full run. I watch it all the way through once a year and it never fails to delight! Now if you'll excuse me....I'll be in my bunk. smile

Toooo much information there, Colt!

I think Melinda Clarke shouldn't have been so "Lady Heather" in "Heart of Gold." And when a drugged Mal said "you got a thing on your arm" to Wash in "Out of Gas," why, for some reason that was the funniest god damn thing I'd heard in ages LOL

LOL This is the umpteenth Firefly thread I've seen on SimHQ over the past couple of years but I ain't complaining. Firefly is by far the most remembered and talked about show that lasted less than one full season. I also never saw it when it aired on tv but I've seen it twice now on dvd and the last time on bluray! It looked stunning.

Simon is my favorite character on the show. I really loved his smug intellectualism.

Those people who cancelled it are sure to be going to that special Hell.

Yep.

It's one of the few TV series I actually bought on DVD, along with Rome, Band of Brothers and Hornblower.

Rome is another show that was cancelled before its time. The official word from HBO was that the show ended up being too expensive to produce.
