I might have to keep a few episodes of Firefly to check out Christina Hendricks though.

gurantee you will like that episode

Don't make guarantees!It says 2 episodes...Trash and Our Miss Reynolds.

I have it on my office DVR and I don't record much on it. I'll probably keep them for a while, maybe I'll change my opinion. Maybe I need to smoke a little before the next episode.

Good Lord Almighty. How could you people almost let me miss that. Night and day from Mad Men but I'd have a tough time deciding between the two. Hot as hell and a really a good actress.And a slight buzz does wonders for the show too...

Careful man, it grows on you. Too much more and next thing you know you'll be trying to decide if you prefer Angel or Spike.

That was a good episoede. No western. Hot Christina Hendricks. Some mystery. Some actual science fiction at the end. Funniest episode too.

The next episode Jaynestown is one of the worst in the run, but if you make it through that, you will see one of the best in Out of Gas ( which may not mean as much to you since you missed the critical 2 hour pilot).

It's right up there with 33(BSG), Yesterday's Enterprise (TNG), War Without End (B5), and City on the Edge of Forever(TOS) as my favorite episodes from a space based series.

Read the Wiki on this show and it's sounds horrible. Is it really worth watching?

Did you read this thread too?

yeah. Figured I would download the first episode and see what I thought.

Remember the first episode is called Serenity. Here is the order you should watch before watching the movie Serenity (yes same name as the first episode)http://en.wikipedia....irefly_episodes

I get that you are a fan and want to see everything in sequence but Serenity (the film) is a complete stand alone and you don't have to have any knowledge of Firefly to enjoy it. For people looking for a more traditional sci-fi experience with space battles and cgi it's as good of a jumping off point as any.

Spoiler

Yeah I get that because Wash and Shepherd die in the film. It's not that big of a deal considering we are talking about a 14 episode series. Not nearly the same as, for example, knowing who dies in the final episode of Buffy.

It has nothing to do with being a fan, it has to do with respecting continuity and the hard work of the people who produced the work.It is no different than someone who is interested in reading the Harry Potter books. Would you recommend they start at the end of the series or start at the beginning?

Or for someone interested in watching the Lord of the Rings movies. Sure, Return of the King was a fantastic movie and perhaps you could enjoy it as a stand alone, but IMO you would enjoy it a ton more if you had the whole story in front of you.

For me it is just a logical recommendation and has nothing to do with being a fan of the specific work.

If I was to recommend anything related to TV, movies, books, etc, I would always recommend starting at the beginning of the story.

Serenity is a stand alone film that requires no knowledge of the series Firefly whatsoever. RotK and Deathly Hallows both require knowledge of the previous installments to understand the story.It in no way disrespects the "continuity and the hard work of the people who produced the work" to start with the film. Personally I think the film is a better hook for the series than the other way around.

[flapgreen]

Watched the first two episodes in order last night. I guess it was ok but cheesy as hell. The set looks like it was taken out of Star Wars in the 1980's. Cheesy Sci-Fi flicks aren't really my thing.

That is cool. Firefly is about characters and stories. If you are looking for something slick looking, this show won't be for you. It is meant to look old and dusty like a western. Not pristine like a federation Starship for example.

I am not saying they should start with the film, I am saying they can as it is a stand alone project.I find the principle complaint with Firefly is that the off ship sets are cheesy and there isn't much actual science fiction. I think that fact has been demonstrated in this thread. The problem was the idiot executives at FOX tried to market it from the sci-fi angle when that was never the focus of the show. It created a false expectation that led to disappointment from the general audience. It could just as easily have been set in the post-Civil War period as that was the aftermath of the CW was the initial inspiration for the show. I believe Whedon chose the future, in part, as a demonstration that no matter how advanced we become technologically nothing really changes, particularly on the frontier. Unfortunately the small minority of viewers who recognized it for what it was weren't enough to keep it running.

The show started as a slow burn that was building up to something special rather than something like, for example, Heroes that shot its wad early and ultimately had created nothing to build upon.

I recommend the film because I don't think that sci-fi expectation has really changed and the film is easier to digest for those who are looking for higher production values and more science in their fiction. I think it is a good hook for people to become interested in the characters and the series and it in no way diminishes the enjoyment of the series to watch the film first.

again, I could not disagree more, but this is all opinion and kind of meaningless either way.We can agree that the Fox executives were idiots though . Not only did they market it totally wrong, they moronically made the decision to show the episodes out of order leaving viewers confused as to what was going on.

Thankfully they fixed this on the DVD's, and the following grew once people were able to watch the story in the correct order. And because of the DVD sales, the fans were rewarded with a very good feature length film.

Book's death is pretty much meaningless in the movie if you haven't watched the series, particularly with respect to understanding the dynamic between he and the captain. And Wash's death together with Zoey's reaction isn't nearly as heartbreaking without having seen the series. It's the character development in the series that sets the stage for the film, not vice versa (with the exception of the doc who was sort of a different character altogether in the movie).

Not true. Nathan Fillion is pretty locked up in Castle and Morena Baccarin is locked up in Homeland.Plus can you really have a series w/o Wash and Shepherd?

Suppose not. Wishful thinking I guess, although I would trust Whedon to write the story well enough that it could survive without those two. Also, for fans of Whedon and Fillion I highly recommend "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog." Very unique short film and best thing about the writer's strike.

I think there are kind of two different questions here. Assuming you plan to start with the series, I think there is little doubt that you should start with the original pilot instead of The Train Job. If, for not other reason, that the pilot is one of the best episodes of the series and The Train Job is, at best, an average episode. I don't have a terribly strong opinion about starting with the movie or even watching it in lieu of the series. If you don't like the movie, I doubt you'd like the series. But I think fans of the series are often the ones who are hardest on the movie. Because we wanted to see that story play out in more detail. I agree with your spoiler comments, but I think those moments are kind of unsatisfying for fans as well, precisely because our connection to those characters makes us want to see the movie earn those moments more.

Not a new series, but I've heard idle speculation of another shot at a movie. Nothing even close to a confirmed rumor, but the thinking goes something like this.Firefly/Serenity is the project closest to the heart of Joss and the entire cast. Joss is likely to be the writer/director of a hit movie this summer. Joss will have more ability to pick his next project than he's ever had. Serenity has had a nice run on DVD and cable and the Firefly universe is better known than it was at the time of the first movie. Consequently, Joss may be able to get Universal to front another 50 million or something for a second film that they could market as "from the writer and director of The Avengers."But other than some cast members essentially saying "never say never" there's really no evidence to point to.

Would't anything Firely/Serenity related, in 2012, be a license to print money? Seems like 80% of everyone under 35 on the Internet loves the show/film. How could a new film miss $200 million? Or a resumed TV series miss top 10 Nielsens? If anything, the Firefly meme (it seems, I wasn't in on the ground floor) has gotten far more popular over the 6.5 years since the film Serenity came out. It's beyond fanboys-only status these days, isn't it?

Heck, they could probably just re-release Serenity in theaters this summer and beat the 2005 gross several times over. Seems to me A LOT of fans were just late to the party.

Only 117 movies (to date) has topped $200 million, a new Firefly movie would still struggle to reach $100 million.

I think he was obviously joking. While Serenity was a movie I enjoyed it was a bust at the box office brining in only $25M in US on an estimated $40M budget. And remember they made Serenity based on the very good DVD sales for Firefly so this was well after the show was discovered by many people.

 

[Fennis]

I might have to keep a few episodes of Firefly to check out Christina Hendricks though.

gurantee you will like that episode

Don't make guarantees!It says 2 episodes...Trash and Our Miss Reynolds.

I have it on my office DVR and I don't record much on it. I'll probably keep them for a while, maybe I'll change my opinion. Maybe I need to smoke a little before the next episode.

Good Lord Almighty. How could you people almost let me miss that. Night and day from Mad Men but I'd have a tough time deciding between the two. Hot as hell and a really a good actress.And a slight buzz does wonders for the show too...

I take my guarantees seriously.

 

[Doug B]

I think he was obviously joking.

I wasn't I didn't read any of the thread prior to my post, either, so I wasn't addressing anyone else's points.Firefly just seems way bigger now than it was in 2005. Just the way it looks to a Johnny-come-lately, though ... maybe it really has maxed out, pop-culture-wise. People sure as heck talk about it a ton, especially on the Internet.

OK, here is what I've read about this.When the Netflix deal came out for Arrested Development, a comics writer posted a blog post speculating that the medium would also work to resurrect Firefly. Nathan Fillian linked to that blog post on Twitter with the comment "Hmmmm hmmm HMMMMMM". And that's pretty much the extent of it. Some idle speculation that intrigued a key cast member (who has said many times that he would come whenever Joss calls).

Seems like little to hang your hat on to me.

OK, here is what I've read about this.When the Netflix deal came out for Arrested Development, a comics writer posted a blog post speculating that the medium would also work to resurrect Firefly. Nathan Fillian linked to that blog post on Twitter with the comment "Hmmmm hmmm HMMMMMM". And that's pretty much the extent of it. Some idle speculation that intrigued a key cast member (who has said many times that he would come whenever Joss calls).

Seems like little to hang your hat on to me.

Don't crush my dreams man.

The science channel? Is that the SciFi Channel (or whatever they're calling themselves nowadays)?

On SciFi, if you're bored. I'll be chilling and watching a few episodes today.

Finally got around to watching this thing. Really fantastic. What a wonderful world with interesting characters.

It's shocking to think about all the horrible TV shows that made it to a 2nd season over the last 12 years, and this unique and beautifully written show couldn't.

It's a shame it came then because I'd think it would have better luck now with so many different channels and the ability to get by with a smaller viewership.

I must say Baccarin and Hendricks were a nice surprise. I had no idea either was on the show, and they were obviously great.
