Post by: Amar on February 17, 2008, 04:46:36 PM
I just got the TV show Firefly  and I know the way they were aired was wrong.  Can someone tell me the order to watch them in?    :confused

Thanks Amar

All it takes is for someone to mention Firefly or Serenity, and I get an itch to watch the series again! 



"...The Hero of Canton, the man they called 'me'..." LOL :laugh:

No, I got them on VHS that a friend recorded at the time.  I vaguely remember hearing about it at the time but never saw any of them.

I'm with you.. as I was answering his question I got the urge to watch the entire series in one sitting :) I think I'll have to do that very soon.

Seems backwards...why not play Serenity at the end?

EDIT: Oh, the pilot, not the movie. Definitely Monday morning.

Having read Kenny's post (#2) I don't really need to ask this question but...

Having got hold of a copy of this, I've been dithering about whether to invest the time in watching it or not. I've never seen any of it, and know very little about it but given the sort of things I like (Star Trek, Farscape, StarGate etc), would this be a good bet for my viewing pleasure?

Feathers.. this series though short is a must see for all geeks.. you will not be disappointed.. and when the series is over you can watch the movie Serenity as it continues the story.

You're going to love it...

Lert's put it this way. It's the best parts of Star Trek, Farscape, StarGate, Buffy and the old west all smashed together into the best show you've ever seen. the first two episodes aren't the best (though I still consider them very good) but then it really takes off.

It is also one of the most quotable tv shows in existence.

You won't regret it.  Firefly is one of the best sci-fi series to come out in the past decade.

What have I provoked here? The downfall of Meds? Woo!

Question for me now is do I thrash through Firefly to see it all as quickly as possible, or do I take it slowly and savour the experience. Hmmm, I shall enjoy deciding!
Title: Re: Firefly
Post by: Meds on November 14, 2008, 01:21:13 PM
I stand in front of you guilty as charged. I never saw it here in England (Feathers was it on here?) and i loved hearing all about it and when Jen did her podcast about it i started to get interested so went out the other day and found Serenity in woolworths for £3 so i snapped it up. Will be watching it soon but didn't know whether to wait until I've seen firefly or just jump into the movie.

I don't know that it was on here but I don't get Sky so may have missed it.

Well I would say savour it.. but once you start watching it, it's hard to stop.. I can watch the entire series and movie in a day and love every minute of it.

Well i'm not saying you're getting your geek card back.. just yet.. but I would watch the series before watching the movie as the movie is a follow up to the series.

I agree with Kenny. The moive is good on it's own but you'll get a lot more with the series behind you. Also some things from the movie kind of ruin parts of the series if you haven't seen it yet.
Title: Re: Firefly
Post by: Geekyfanboy on November 14, 2008, 02:02:08 PM
yeah if you don't plan on watching the series (I don't understand why you would not want to) but if you do.. the movie Serenity is AWESOME and a fantastic movie all on it's own.

Right then I'll head off to the memorabilia show next Saturday and buy firefly and then i'll let you know what i think of it. Actually I have seen one episode on youtube so i think i should have t least part of my card back ha ha :)

Post by: Feathers on November 29, 2008, 12:02:01 PM
So did you buy them then?

I'm taking it slow - up to episode 7, just past the hilarious song about the local hero - Jayne. very, very funny.
