Me (hence my name!) and dp are rather addicted.

Favourite episode is Out of Gas (think that's the title), love the way Jayne joined.

Saltatrix · 20/01/2011 17:48

An awesome show to bad it was cancelled damn fox.

5Foot5 · 20/01/2011 19:37

Oh yes - we have this on DVD and have watched several times. We also have the film that rounds things off.

Such a shame this show was cancelled.

I love the episode "The Man They Call Jayne" - so funny.

Punkatheart · 20/01/2011 19:52

Josh Whedon has such crappy luck with his wonderful shows.

My OH told me that I smiled all the way through the film Serenity. I was in heaven.

meridian · 20/01/2011 20:39

Firefly has been on my wish list since I saw Serenity, finally got it this Xmas. About four episodes in, really enjoying it.
Think DH has been won over despite his initial 'So this is one of your Hmm science fiction things, is it?' reaction.

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/01/2011 22:29

me! i watched the whole season on dvd one weekend while i was ill and i cannot tell you how pissed off i was to find out it was cancelled!

but they do this to all my bloody fave shows...

medium has just got the axe
ely stone got the axe
dollhouse got the axe...(another wheadon creation and it was bloody brilliant...axed!)

i give up~!

meridian · 21/01/2011 13:52

I had only watched a few episodes when it was first on tv in the states then moved here and forgot about it till Serenity came out and I dragged my DH to see it with me and he asked what it was.. and I said it was 'frontier/cowboys in space' which he wasn't impressed by but I said it was Joss Whedon and as he was a big Buffy fan that got us into the cinema and he loved it.

Firefly keeps popping up on the Horror channel so we watched it months ago but mist the first few episodes and when it was in the sales I said we HAVE to have it. and DH grumbled but I got it and he loved every minute of watching it. I must admit I was grinning away like and idiot watching it. Blush Grin

Thank you Meridian, and thanks for the you tube link. Dp has been looking for a hat like Jayne's for ds.

Didn't catch Firefly when it first was on, dragged dp to see Serenity based on the trailer. Its a shame it doesn't look like there will be a sequel, looking forward to seeing Joss Whedon's next film though.

DH and I love Firefly, it's fab! Not sure what my favourite episode is, I love them all. Serenity is one of my favourite sci-fi movies.

Loved Dollhouse as well, can't believe they axe all his stuff :(

MrsDmitriTippensKrushnic · 21/01/2011 17:32

I should change my name back for this shouldn't I? Then I can pretend it's actually all about me Wink

My favourite part of Firefly is EVERYTHING!!

Firefly anecdote of the day: Fringe's next episode is called The Firefly in honour of our beloved show as it has also been bumped to the Friday night 'slot of death' (crappy scheduling being the reason Firefly haemorrhaged viewers in the US leading to its premature cancellation)

ThatVikRinA22 · 21/01/2011 17:54

if they axe Fringe im going to scream!!! loudly!

got season one box set half way through watching season 2! watched them back to back! absolutely love it.

it cant be next

whatshallmynamebe · 21/01/2011 22:35

I love this show. DH bought the box set. The only thing was, that as I knew it had been cancelled, I spent the whole time watching thinking, "this is great but there is no more to look forward to" .

On the final disc of Season 1 of Fringe now, and I am enjoying that more than I thought I would. Walter is one of the best characters around. I just don't buy the supposed sexual tension between Peter and Olivia though.

SiriusStar · 24/01/2011 09:39

I have not watched Firefly but am interested because I have been following a couple of blogs, one of which is markwatches.net
You may find it interesting as he is watching Firefly. There are opportunities to comment but do NOT spoil him.

welshandproud · 24/01/2011 11:11

So Sad they cut this epic tale short! Love the theme tune too.

LaWeaselMys · 24/01/2011 13:45

Firefly is awesome.

I think the first few episodes aren't great to get into but... It got so good!! So many fantastic episodes.

We are well known for singing jayyyyne the man they call jayyyyne to babies in this house.

TrillianAstra · 24/01/2011 13:47

Have any of you Whedon fans watched Dollhouse?

LaWeaselMys · 24/01/2011 15:39

Seen a bit - it's next on my list now.

Pixel · 24/01/2011 17:23

Firefly is excellent, I couldn't believe it when it was cut. As someone else pointed out they did the same with Eli Stone which was another brilliant one. Angry

'Jayne' is in Chuck, playing quite a similar gun-loving character if anyone is interested.

Did anyone see the episode of Castle when they were dressing up for halloween? Castle came out wearing his outfit from Firefly and his daughter asked what he was supposed to be. He said "space cowboy" which was a great little in-joke for us deprived fans.
