Firefly - The Complete Series

| ||||||||||||
 Firefly This short-lived TV series is a must-have for your collection. It combines the Wild West with science fiction in an unusual but effective way. Excellent character development makes you care about the unique individuals who make up the Firefly crew. If you love SciFi, you won't be disappointed. Exellent Scifi If you like scifi you will probably like Firefly. This was one of my all time favorite tv shows. The good ones never last long! Loads of fun. This has probably been one of my all time favorite Sci-Fi series. While it was okay, I was never much of a Buffy fan. I did watch Angel and enjoyed the humor of it. So it's not that I think Joss Weedon can do no wrong. I've watched everything from the original and new Treks, to Star Wars, to Stargate, Soylent Green, Highlander, etc. But Firefly was something fresh that I connected to personally. I'm sorry I missed out when it aired and was only a fan after someone loaned me the DVD collection. I watched the first episode "Serenity" and thought it was okay. By the time I got to the end of the first DVD I was hooked, couldn't stop watching it. If you're unsure about the series, find a friend to borrow it and then buy. Everyone I've loaned it to has loved it and gotten a copy. A show that's too good to miss I wasn't really a "fan" of this series while it was on the air. I looked forward to seeing it, and was sorry (but not surprised) when it was canceled; mostly because, for some, it would seem too slow paced. I bought the series after seeing the movie "Serenity", and came to appreciate how truly good it was. I'm not a fan of Buffy, and maybe saw most of an episode of Angle; I'm still not particularly impressed with either. But Josh Whedon and crew hit a homer with this series. It has interesting, engaging and well developed characters, as well as well developed stories. As far as comparing the movie Serenity with the TV series, it depends on what you like. The movie is fast paced and geared toward "flash." The show took more time to develop a plot. After seeing both a few times, I find I like the series better. As some reviewers have pointed out, it has more heart. Both are above par. | |||||||||||||
