I just got a chance to watch Firefly and.. It's very interesting. Not sure why I waited so long to see it, I'm going to go try to watch it again to see if I like it as much as I did the first time. The movie Serenity is also coming out September 30, 2005, and comic books are supposed to help the transition from the television show to the movie. Then there is Scifi who is picking up Firefly and rearing the shows, starting July 22, in their entirety and in the order Joss intended. Thus four hours on Scifi Friday. Firefly at 7, Stargate SG-1 at 8, Stargate Atlantis at 9 and Battlestar Galactica at 10.

I searched the site for firefly but didn't find anything new about the show, thus wrote what I wrote because of that.

For some odd reason I tend to start liking shows toward their ends/already end, or just when they are about to start up again.

That's how I got to watch it, over a few nights and one great thing about it is that it draws out a range of emotions in you in such a short span of time. "The Message" was a memorable one as Joss was saying goodbye to the show with that episode. I don't want to give anything away to you, so I'll not say anything but Haha. Sometimes so freaking funny.


I was searching google and I happened upon something I had almost forgot about, I wonder if you remember. http://trallyus.gedekran.com

Yep I remember that webpage

The episodes of firefly I have seen so far is Serenity part 1 and 2 - the train job - bushwhacked - shindig - safe - our mrs. reynolds - jaynestown

My favorite so far is Our Mrs. Reynolds

The message is on dvd number 4 with heart of gold and object in space - All three of those along with trash never aired

You would like that one wouldn't you. I got to admit that when she started quoting her "bible" I was like, damn.. Where can I get a copy of that one.

The next episode, "Out of Gas" is pretty good. On the Serenity part 1/2, when the captain tricks the doctor and Joss tricks us into believing the maintenance girl is dead. The music in the background, the slowing of time and just the way he did it. Was so great I couldn't stop laughing when the truth was revealed.

I have to admit, I downloaded the entire season while I was up in Jersey and put it on my iPod until a week ago. It wasn't full quality but good enough to enjoy the show. After watching it, I went and just bought the dvd last night.

I wondered how you were seeing more of the show then I have seen I thought maybe you either downloaded them or something like that since the sci-fi channel has not shown the entire series yet that I know of

Glad you like it

No, I mean I have only got through half the series so far There is stuff on the dvd, besides the 4 un-aired shows I mentioned earlier.

They put all the extra stuff on dvd 4 3 beind the scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, Alan Tudyk's audition, Joss singing the "Firefly" theme, and a gag reel

Besides the 4 unaired episodes I have yet to watch, I have yet to watch out of gas, ariel, and war stories as well as the extra stuff but I am pacing myself

I didn't pace myself and watched it all in three nights.

Did you watch any of the shows with Joss commentary? I can't wait to see how it looks. I had a 352x216 version, so the dvd shall be great. Plus all those extra features.

How much did you pay for the dvd?

It's actually a set of 4 dvds I think it was like 50-60 bucks as I got it around Christmas time as a gift There was one episode I remember that I watched where the doctors sister interfaced with the ship and it was so good, that after I saw that , I had to get the whole series as I could not remember how she did that as I thought she was not human at that point.

I am not sure if this memory was from the firefly series as my brain is swiss cheese , but I thought at one point she was hiding in the ship and controlling it while people were hunting her. Now all this makes me want to pull out the other 2 dvds and start watching them

Darn you!!!

I just watched Out of Gas and loved how they got Kaylee the girl mechanic It was really a great episode like you said and really showed some of the past that I never knew about

I really like how they show at the start of the show the almost end where you have to figure out how it ended up like that, then show how it progresses up to that point while also showing glimpses of the present progressing toward the ultimate outcome which happens at the end.

Fox used to air it at a really crappy time spot and hardly gave it any publicity before yanking it off the air Jbone The make of the series as well as the movie is trying to bring it back and even has a questionaire on his site asking people if they would pay for a direct to dvd series where he would sell new shows on dvd to subscribers through the mail if he can not find a station to air the series.

You can get the whole first season on Amazon which is what the scifi channel is airing for 34.99 last time I checked

If you like firefly, I also suggest giving Earth 2 a looksee as well Just type in Earth 2 - The Complete Series in the amazon search engine and it is the same price as the first season of firefly

I thought Earth 2 was a great show at first. It did seem that the writers or producers or who ever made decisions couldn't decide what subplots to follow. The doctor was evil, she was good, she was a victum of the powers behind the whole thing.
Then there were the inhabitants of the planet. They were dangerious, helpful, playful?

I enjoyed the show I just feel if they would of picked and stayed with a storyline it would of lasted longer.

I kind of agree I loved when they used that bomb or device that turned all the immediate vicinity to stone as it was a device I never heard of before And it made me feel sorry for the creatures of the planet

I never watched the entire series, but will be ordering it soon to see what I missed as I know I missed alot of it as I watched some episodes on the scifi channel that I know were new to me

One series I would love to have on dvd is dark skies but so far no one has put it on sale yet at amazon That series rocked I loved how they tied historical figures in to the series like Sagan, the Beatles, and the whole Kennedy clan

I've been downloading a season off the torrent since friday night when I saw it the first time. It's not coming down very fast. I should have it all by tonight, or maybe tomorrow, (3.52 gigabytes worth).

Hey Kris,
I noticed twit 17 is out but I can't get it until leo's servers come back up , so I was looking through the show notes to see what they talked about and was surprised to see it say "Dvorak loves the Firefly DVD - wait 'til Serenity!"

I never thought of him as a sci-fi guy so I had to pass it on I hope he fixed his mic trouble in this episode so I hear more of him

I've only got up to about twit show 10. I'll have to get that one and build up a cache of shows.

Dvorak likes Firefly? That just doesn't seem right. Is the world coming to an end or something? Perhaps it's the western theme to it that he likes, in which case. Dvorak knows how a dvd works?

I think Dvorak got turned on to the series by Steve Gibson for the following reason -

Dvorak loves the Firefly DVD - wait 'til Serenity!
Steve Gibson compressed the entire set into 2GB using DiVX and the PocketPC Player

Notice the notes for the show says Dvorak loves the Firefly DVD and not the DVDs ? The full set is like 4 dvds and then the quote about how Steve compressed the entire set in to 2GB makes me think Steve gave John a copy of the series as we all know John loves free stuff

I just watched objects in space and that was one of the few episodes they showed around here that I got to watch That is why I bought the dvd set since I thought river did merge with the ship

Its #2 at the box office according to the news this morning.

I watched the first episode, Serenity, last night and I really liked it. The three main things I like about the way it was filmed is the use of fade outs and fade ins to convey emotion, the kind of music that is used during these scenes (stringed instruments) and how so NOT Sci-fi it makes it sound, and the special effects and their use of virtual cameras. They make it really seem as if a camera is panning and zooming in trying to catch the action while the camera goes out of focus and regains focus again. I really like quick zoom in on something far in the distance, bringing it very close to the screen and losing focus while doing so. Kinda like what they did on Star Wars Ep2. It makes it seem more real for some reason.

I also liked the extreem blend of personalities on the ship. A rough and tough captain who doesn't look rough and tough. A prostitute. An innocent young woman who's the mechaninc. A preacher. An assassin. A genius doctor and his even more genius, yet autistic sister. A very strange and conflicting blend. I can see this series forcing each character to deal with the complexities of the personalities around each of them and trying to find ways of forgiving in them what they find offensive while also trying to fit into the whole mesh as well as possible. Especially the preacher and the prostitute and the rough and tough captain. I'm off to watch some more.

I really like the prostitue aka Companion character. And Kahla. She is too damned cute. I like how Kahla, the innocent girl looks up to the Companion and asks her questions about her "clientel". Interesting dynamic.

I finished watching disc 1 and I really like the interesting blends Joss uses. Sci-fi meets Old West with a blend of Chineese dialect. I wonder why they all have Chineese sayings mixed in with their speach.

Cool! That explains alot. I noticed that logo on the gun in the pilot as belonging to the Aliens movies and the armour of the troops in Train Job as being similar to Starship Troopers. That's funny. Lots of homages to his inspirations, I see.

I love the line from Train Job when he gets into the fight with the pro Aliance guy, "You don't appear to be burdoned with an over-abundance of education." Great lines.

I like Jayne too. I can see something occuring between him and the captain. I loved it when he was drugged and his mouth was hanging down to one side while he was trying to shoot some goons.

I am really liking this series so far and am regretting having to be half way to the point where there won't be any more. I really like the Jayne character, especially in Jaynestown. He has a soft side and a wicked sense of humor despite being so damned brash.

I really liked that episode because of the parralles between the town believing Jayne's criminal deeds to be heroic despite having the truth of what really happened being told to them by Jayne himself with the parrallel between the Shepard and River. River goes about "Fixing" the Shepard's Bible because she says it's broken. Too many contradictions. "Doesn't make sense" she keeps saying. Shepard explains to her that you can't fix faith. The point is not in having the Bible make sense and be correct. The point is to take the lessons laid out before you and believing in its power to change your life. The townsfolk take the Jayne legend for something that it wasn't and used it to inspire them into standing up for their rights and it gave them strength. One youngster even sacrificed his life to protect the legend even when Jayne himself told the entire town that it was nothing but a lie. To them, it doesn't matter. It gave them strength and something to believe in so to hell with the truth.

I really liked the end when Jayne and the captain were talking about it and Jayne kept saying the same thing River said about the stories in the Bible. "It just doesn't make any sense."

I am also REALLY liking the Companion. She is very graceful, gentle, wise, noble, spiritual and very beauitful. But she has an essence about her that is indescribable. But the thing that I find interesting is that she came by all of this through a lifetime of training and schooling. And yet Kayhla has all of these traits and one that even the companion doesn't have...Innocence. Kayhla's beauty is all natural and comes from within, not from training and her innocence adds to that beauty making her more desirable than the companion, although she ain't bad herself. I just kinda see, when the Companion and Kayhla are talking with each other that the Companion is looking at her with an eye of jealousy as to how natural it comes to her and how she's had to work so hard at it and Kayhla looks at her and wishes to be more like her. She doesn't seem to realize that she is already more than her.

I am VERY impressed with the acting in all of this because they ALL bring out these impressions in their acting of the parts.

When you are done watching the TV series....get the DVD Serenity. You find out why River is like she is and why the Alliance is so eager to recapture/kill her.

Never figured out the preacher man though. He's past remains a mystery. I know he must of been big in the Alliance.

According to the show, yeah. So far no explanation. But he does have an ID card that allows him premium medical care in any Alliance facility and he didn't tell the captain what he was before.

When Early took out Mal, he did it almost immediately. He knew he was a threat and had to be taken out.

He did the same with the Shepherd, yet not even giving the Shepherd a chance to see him. With the Shepherd's response of "I just feel like such a fool." Also Early saying; "That ain't a Shepherd."

I guess he was either a high ranking official in the Alliance, or is an old retired assassin, but more than that and somewhat like the one in the Serenity movie with no official identity.
