What a great show. I watched the first five episodes on Hulu, then a friend lent me his DVD so I could watch the rest, as well as the movie, Serenity. If you love scifi, you have to see Firefly. There are no aliens. Yes, no aliens in a scifi series. And it’s set as part Western. I’m not a big Westerns fan. But the blend here of fantasy genres — scifi, westerns, action — is a great example of the whole being greater than the sum of it’s parts.
Written by Joss Whedon (akf Buffy the Vampire Slayer), the characters and dialog are among the best out there. Every character, I mean every character, is strong. Every episode is great.
