Now i've heard of firefly, but i never got around to watch it. But this all changed when i seen the movie "Serenity" when it first came out on DVD. I recently watched it again, and said to myself "This is an awesome movie." I think i'm going to find some info on the show. So after lots of searching, i got my hands on every episode they aired.
I watched it all, i was literally sucked in. It was something i quickly fell in love with. Almost like the Stargate SG-1 show, i watch that daily and love it. That is how i felt about Firefly.
But as many people have told me it was canceled. And many people also shared how greatly upset the feel about it being canceled.
[B]What bothers me is, why did the cancel the show? I mean, the way all the episodes ended it could be never ending. And another thing that bothers me is, if it is such a cult hit right now, and people love it..why don't they take the effort to bring it back? [/B]
I kinda hate myself at the moment for watching it, but it was a great show. Really was, nothing else is really like it. It was flowing with creativity. But I'm also glad because i enjoyed watching all of it.

Best fucking show[/B] I've ever watched, it is right next to Stargate SG-1.
So i guess ill just make this an info thread as well..
[B]Summary[/B]
[quote]The series is set in the year 2517, after humans have arrived at a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".
The show explores the lives of people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and now make a living on the outskirts of the society, as well as the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today.[/quote]

Also oddly you see people like Jewel Staite staring in episodes of Stargate Atlantis
[B]Also did i mention i'm sad now =([/B]
I have Serenity, I like it.
It was canceled because Fox does not wish you to have nice things.
This is a fucking fantastic show. I'll never be able to understand why Fox would cancel something so wonderfully written, that had potential to carry on for many, many more seasons. They made a big mistake, in my opinion.
I don't know why you hate yourself for watching it...
It was pretty awesome show though, I'm not going to lie.

Indeed, i wonder why too. If i was them i would be kicking myself in the ass.
And the way things look Stargate has a few people such as Jewel Staite in the cast now. Be nice if Sci-fi worked something out with the producers to get this show back up.

I hate myself for watching it because i want more of it. I got sucked in to it very quickly. And i need more of it.
Just a really great show, i'm a huge fan now and i'm a shamed i didn't see this when it first came out.
Needs to be Continued. The show Firefly was fucking Awesome.
That was a really great movie.

I'm fucking right with ya, buddy. I hate Fox now.
Oh, the reason they cancelled the show is because they aired the second episode first, instead of the two part introductory episode, so there was general confusion about what was going on, as the characters had already been introduced prior to that episode. People didn't watch it as a result. The reason they did this is because, being the introduction, it was slower paced and less action oriented, and we all know how much Fox loves action.
It's the reason Sliders got fucked up. More action, less of what makes these shows unique! Yeehaw!

That'd be nice. I'd definitely watch it again if it got continued.
[b]Edit:[/b]
Also, Serenity was a fantastic movie. Last year, we watched the seasons of Firefly and Serenity at the end of the semester in a Sci-Fi class I took.
Break into Fox and force them to continue it?
Serinity is a fuckawesome movie. I haven't seen firefly though.
bring it baaaaaaack
Firefly was such an awesome show
I've watched all of Firefly/Serenity 2-1/2 times in the past 3 months. I had to start over again because I was so pissed there was no more of it.

Yeah i was watching some features about the show and one of the cast/producers i think was saying that fox wanted it to be a bit faster, rather then taking a few episodes to know all the members of the serenity. They wanted to know right then and there in the first episode.
Fucking fox, that is it I'm starting a militia.
guys they can't bring it back because [sp]they killed off like a bunch of main characters in Serenity[/sp]
Serenity kind of killed it for me when they killed my first and third favourite characters.
Like, Book can die maybe, but Wash? It was so sudden and unexpected and a completely unepic way to go to.
[QUOTE=Uberslug]guys they can't bring it back because [sp]they killed off like a bunch of main characters in Serenity[/sp][/QUOTE]
True.
[sp]Very true, however they could, the movie might of been great and awesome, but fuck the movie if it brings back the show. I think only ones who died where zoe and Wash.[/sp]
It is about time for me to go to sleep, 1 AM and i've had a long day.
*Crys himself to sleep*
Hopefully you guys will keep this thread alive for the honor of firefly.
In the West Coast, it's only 10:50 PM.
But I get your drift.
[QUOTE=Uberslug]guys they can't bring it back because [sp]they killed off like a bunch of main characters in Serenity[/sp][/QUOTE]
Yes, but who knows how much time has passed between Firefly and Serenity? They could have had at least another season or more before the events in the movie took place. I'm not quite sure if they mention any time frame or anything, I'll have to watch them again.

[sp]Zoe does not die. Wash and Shepard die, but not Zoe.[/sp]
[b]Edit:[/b]
P.S. Jewel Staite is a fucking goddess.
[spoiler]needs more spoiler[/spoiler]
They made a comic that wraps up the end of the season with the beginning of the movie.
It is amazing, just like the series.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH FOX.
FUCK FUCK.
They should just have an "expanded series", from before the Serenity movie [sp]because Wash and Shepard were great and should never not be in the show. RIP Wash and Shepard :'( [/sp]
[b]Edit:[/b]
FUCK FOX AAAGGHH

It was canceled because it was too expensive (too expensive for Joss Whedin?!?!), and it didn't catch on until it was canceled.
Fox cancels so many good shows :(.
[sp]I still don't know why they killed him off. To piss off fans? I guess he may as well have died, considering we won't see him again.[/sp]

It was taking up Propaganda time. :(
Did no one read my post?!
I have watched only the first two episodes as my friend has them and I don't. I need to steal them because I was already hooked and I loved Serenity.
Also, the guy who plays Jane is now on Chuck (awesome show), so there's another one of the actors who is doing something differently.

Alright, here goes. (Only read this if you've seen Serenity)
[sp]The reason they killed off Wash was really build up for the Reaper siege, if they could kill off a good and well liked character, you wouldn't know who they had it in for next[/sp]

Because it didn't have good enough ratings (Ho Ho Ho DVD Sales anyone?) and because they're fucking idiots, I mean hell, they wanted the first episode shown to be full of action and not a proper pilot episode
I loved this show. I have seen every episode and the movie at least 3-5 times.
Also river is hot. :love: she's also a killing machine :q:
