Ok, moving on about the show...first, I have to say that sometimes producers are so dunderheaded that they can't see a good thing if bites them in the face. No doubt money was probably the reason why Fox scrapped Firefly, but I bet if they had carried on, it would have stuffed their pockets.
The show is basically about bunch of misfits surviving on a space-ship, doing smuggling and odd jobs to make money, but always getting into trouble. The cast is brilliant and well-suited to their roles. Each episode, contained within itself, nonetheless carries the story forward. With each episode, we can see many more possibilities for the development of each character, their interpersonal relationships, as well as all the things they can do on many worlds.
It was just as well that they made Serenity to tie up the loose knots, otherwise just the season 1 would have left me dissatisfied, because I like to see things come to a good conclusion.
I really loved the show, and Serenity - the ship - is so wonderful, I want to go live on it. The only reason I do not love Firefly as much as I love Stargate is because it didn't last long enough for me to get to know the characters over long period of time (like 10 seasons of S.G.1 and 5 seasons of Atlantis).
But there is no question that I will be revisiting this DVD over and over again.
