Firefly

Six episodes into this now and it's pretty good so far. I do have an issue with the pacing of it sometimes though. In particular, the endings to Bushwhacked and Our Mrs Reynolds seemed a little rushed. It's as though they were plodding along nicely then realised the pub was about to shut.

I'm ashamed I have never watched it but I did enjoy the movie Serenity

I love Firefly! I still pull the boxset out and watch it almost back-to-back at least once a year.

My favourite episode is "Out Of Gas". As well as the excellent main story, I love all of the little flashbacks that show how Serenity's crew came together.

Just watched that one actually.. good stuff.

So far, this stuff strikes me as being Frontier - the TV Series.

Awesome.

All watched now, including Serenity.

I'd probably go with Out of Gas as my favourite episode, with all the back story explanations. Odd how the film seemed to be more sci-fi than the series though.

Rewatching all of these.

On episode 3 - the alliance soldiers are all wearing Starship Troopers Mobile Infantry costumes, without changes other than a bit of purple paint. Heh.

I believe they cropped up in a couple of other films too.

Amazon have an exclusive on a UK-shaped BluRay box for £25. I bought it. Hel and I are watching it. Hooray!

As long as you're in to take it from the delivery man, pretty smooth.

Pretty good? It shows up some cracking detail in hair, moustaches and CGI cityscapes, but some shots seem out of focus. I think someone filmed it wrong, in parts.

We've only watched a couple of episodes so far.

The theme song sounds weird.

Browsing through some of the cheaper Play.com tat, I noticed that Serenity is £2.49 now so I thought I might as well get a proper copy of it.

(The two Bill & Ted films are less than three quid each too)

BikNorton · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 10074

The blu ray is now £11.99 at amazon, I'm told.

Fillion livetweeting himself watching Out Of Gas last night was heartbreaking.

A shame to think that if Twitter was around and as big as it is now, Firefly might not have been cancelled.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38458

Such a bloody tease. I knew nothing about it until it was already long gone. I even watched Serenity and enjoyed it without knowing that the series even existed.

Out of Gas is heartbreaking. But that final scene is so, so wonderful.

Right up there with Victorias Secret (two parter that was supposed to end Season 1 of Due South) as my favourite TV show episodes. Amazing how you end up investing so much in characters over a short run of shows.

I expect to see some better quality videos of this later today but - Firefly 2012 reunion panel at Comic con

With

Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Sean Maher, Adam Baldwin, Joss Whedon

Introductions

Joss is asked what the fans mean to him

I suspect this is a bit fake. Still, it'd be worth it just to see what they do with Inara

We tried to play the board game at the weekend. Unfortunately we were shattered so it was declared too complicated and we went to bed.

Next time though...next time.

Me neither. But if we wanted to, we could.

I still haven't watched this. I've had it bookmarked since forever, but I'm never not drowning in 'real' TV so...

You're lucky. You can just marathon it on a Sunday. Not a huge commitment

Indeed, Beex Citizens did this once at my place.

It was a long time ago.

Pretty sure we didn't actually watch all of Firefly, let alone Serenity as well.

Heh, shit, I somehow only saw Grim's post about Conman there and was saying I hadn't watched that. Obviously, as a right-thinking human being, I watched Firefly way back when it was first shown!

Maybe we managed the show but not Serenity.

We'd made it to episode 11 by 11pm:

We are nwo on the episode of 'Trash'. Fellow BETEO members are relaxing, and are begining to enjoy on the merits of episodes without nit-picking. Tragically, this does not stop the show's flaunting of physics being met with derision, despite my cries of, "It's cowboys in space! What the fuck's wrong with you?!" Tch, eh?

Well, we bailed out before the film, but otherwise I thought we did pretty well there. Tremendous fun was had, and cheers to everyone involved.

However, we'd lost several attendees by this point, so we didn't all make it.

I'd like to note that I didn't write that, although it was written on my PC by a drunk person. Called Pete.
