I was introduced to Firefly by a friend a couple of years ago. I binged in one day. On a 40-inch flat screen tv with Dolby surround sound. Then I watched the movie. I do this every few months just because. Call me a Browncoat.
Yea it was dead long before I found it, but it's so awesome. John Ringo worked Firefly into one of his Kildar series. Made me love that series even more.
I caught the pilot on tv and its the only series i own both in blueray and dvd. Bluetay for watching at home and dvd for when i travel for work to watch on my laptop.
I wore my brown duster to work one day. Younger employee looked at me and said: "You're the coolest guy your age I know." *SIGH* Guess you have to take compliments when and how you can.
I liked the series & was really disappointed when it was cancelled, they didn't even show them all! Then could not believe they made a movie! The movie was great, I bought copies for my kids.
Get me talking about 'them' doing the right thing... Farscape, they ended the season/series on a cliff hanger! Shot the last scene and the next week took apart the set. Then later they came back & made a movie that tied all the loose ends and was damned entertaining too!
Read a lot of John Ringo: Paladin of Shadows Special Circumstances Empire of Man Legacy Of The Aldenata Missed most of Firefly original broadcast because of job. Enjoy it now Loved the Movie. Need to do something with "Space above and Beyond" Could have been better but they left 2 pilots crashed on a planet was canceled.(Space Marines){using pilots as ground troops?}

I Made the mistake of watching the movie first, because I didn't know much about it other than a lot of "people like us" enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife watched it for the first time, I had her watch the series first, then the movie.
And now I'm a big "Castle" fan, too....

My wife makes fun of me because I have 2 DVD copies and 1 blueray copy of the series and the movie

"If they try to kill you, you try to kill them right back"; from memory, so it may not be exact.
ReplyDeleteI also was way too late for the party. SERENITY was my 1st exposure to Firefly. Summer Glau's (River) fight scene in the bar was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to find the entire series in DVD for less than $20. Well worth the money - Jane is frickin' hilarious (I call her Vera!).
Not the only Browncoat is all I'm saying.
Suggested it to a friend.
ReplyDeleteMonth later out of the blue he called me,"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO MORE!?!".
I actually understood and felt a little guilty.
