Th...I only found Firefly last month but I adore it. There is an intimacy to it - the table scenes where everyone sits down to dinner could just go on and on for me, and there's an unpredicability to it - You know the characters and you care about the characters but you don't know how they're going to react. <BR/><BR/>And the relationships between the characters, fraught but deep. And the unique dialogue. And gorgeously forlorn title music...Oh God, I'm blathering...But I really do miss Firefly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-53585590739202372212008-03-28T18:57:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:57:00.000-05:00trish-well if you haven't heard of it, I definitel...trish-well if you haven't heard of it, I definitely recommend it.

I hate when good shows get cut--a few years back one of my favorite shows American Gothic got cut after just a few episodes but I recently saw an episode on the Sci Fi channel. I haven't heard of Firefly.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-11679397681794902702008-03-24T07:11:00.000-05:002008-03-24T07:11:00.000-05:00rhinoa-agreed!

I was so annoyed with the film as it ended things for some characters without really explaining their back story (trying not to give anything away...).

I really liked Heroes, but I felt like it let me down. Maybe it was the writer's strike? Maybe it will get better next season!Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-25817682352322123532008-03-21T16:21:00.000-05:002008-03-21T16:21:00.000-05:00I'm so glad that you loved it as much as all of us...I'm so glad that you loved it as much as all of us other fans. There really hasn't been another show like it. It was so unique...it had an amazing cast (both the characters and the actors who played them) and I loved the way it was filmed. It's rare that you see a sci-fi story with so much heart in it. And I must admit that I'm still a Heroes fan ;) Though I agree that it doesn't come NEAR Firefly...doesn't even touch it...but seriously, what else is there to watch these days. I'm hoping they come back with something better and it doesn't get progressively worse.chrisa511https://www.blogger.com/profile/05793512698366676453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-52170812184861623172008-03-21T08:04:00.000-05:002008-03-21T08:04:00.000-05:00Firefly truly is a rare gem.

The soundtrack is infectious and perfectly frames the action. And like all good westerns, the mix of music, scenery, character, and plot fills you with a sense of longing -- for what, it's almost impossible to put your finger on, but <I>Firefly</I> seems to both fill and create some sort of emptiness -- if that makes any sense at all!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying it. We've loaned those DVDs to several others before and all have gotten hooked.
