Firefly - what did you think of it?
I have seen a few episodes (well there are only a few) and though I hated the first one, it has started to grow on me. It's a shame Joss Weedon couldn't find a home for it. :|

It is a strange show - it has every single stock character from the classic Westerns including the defrocked priest! It's like a fanfic uber version of Stagecoach.

I got about twenty minutes into the first one and turned it off. I did intend to finish it another time, but never got around to it... bit lacking in instant appeal. But if it's any good I might dust off the couple of eps I have and give it a whirl.

The characters and the situation started to really develop as the series progressed. There are only eleven episodes so I suppose one shouldn't get too attached.

Re: Firefly - what did you think of it?
One of the problems with how it was broadcast in the U.S. was that "Serenity," the original pilot wasn't the first episode shown. I actually liked that one a great deal when they finally got around to airing it when JW knew the show had been cancelled.

It seemed very contrived to me at first, but really did grow on me.

There are actually 3 episodes available that weren't aired. On the one hand they make me wish that it hadn't been cancelled and, on the other, wonder where they thought they were going with it. Anyway, you can download them as torrents at:

Hi weejee

I didn't know there were more eps? That is interesting. I wish I had a faster link for downloading.

I think that contrived is the right word yet it starts to become very involving.

Oh well ... I have to say the torrents download was a new experience. I've never tried any of the p2p type thingies before.

I think there will probably be a DVD with the unaired episodes included. I also have heard talk about a Firefly movie (which doesn't make much sense to me, but I'd see it).

I've heard about the movie plans too. I find it difficult to see how that would work.


By the way thanks for the links - it took me awhile to work out how to get at these torrent downloads but it's damn clever!

I've got two of the three eps now and I'm trying to get the third.
