She don't like Firefly

Just as the title states, crap that makes no sense what-so-ever goes here (i.e. spam).

Some of the hype, I believe, comes from the fact that it was cancelled early. Had the show gotten to run for 4 or 5 seasons it probably wouldn't have gotten nearly the same amount of praise as a lot of it is bounded in "what could have been".

Its a good show, although frankly I cant stand looking at Nathan Fillion for any extended period of time, but its been over hyped in the extreme.

On a side note, going on for as long as Stargate is a fate no sci fi series should have to suffer. I'm a big Stargate fan but near the end of SG1 it just started getting a bit too strange. Also, its sad to see your action heroes grow old an useless on screen. RDA is a long way from his Mcgyver days.
Yea, they did well swapping him out like that though.

Made a good SGC Commander. SGU has been cancelled, with talks of not getting any new spin-off which is probably best. Maybe they shouldn't have destroyed Atlantis at the end, the ending was a massive nail in the coffin. I do believe they want to make a SGU film to tie off the storyline.

Atlantis wasn't destroyed, it returned to earth and landed outside of San Francisco. Its kinda sad to see SGU go, it took yet another step away from the tone of the original show but was still pretty good. But hey, even Star Trek ended eventually and I think there's still a couple of movies in the pipeline. One of them supposedly an Atlantis one.

Miss understood I meant destroy the show not the city. Pretty much no chance of that making a comeback.

My wife and I are huge FireFly (and Joss Whedon for that matter) fans. She is more into than I, but we both love it. I noticed your Black prophecy names btw. :D heh

Anyway, when it first came out, it did not grab me as much as it did later. Partly where I was in my life and things - i.e. I pretty much never watched TV for one.

It is like all shows, and all things in life really, . . . some will love, some will meh, and some might even hate it.

Regardless, Joss does story and characters like few others whether they grab you or not is another matter. Also, with all the bunk on TV today, and even when it came out, it is a gem like other unique shows (Farscape, BSG are two that come to mind but even wacked out ones more akin to Lexx).

When Somerlund and I started dating I had never even heard of Firefly but he had the boxset. So with zero hype (for me), we sat down with his roomates and started tearing through the series. I gotta admit it was quirky, funny, with likable characters and a interesting setting. So I can see why so many are taken with the series, I found it very enjoyable myself. While I don't see it as some pinnacle of TV history it was way better then many terrible shows that live on much longer; of course that's FOX for you.

Last I heard there was still an Atlantis movie in the makings and I think a 6th season was actually planned when sy-fy pulled the plug on it.

Yea, they've got a rather poor track record. They cancelled Futurama as well.

Great show and movie too. The humor is a big part of the attraction for me.

I liked both, but I think I give the edge to The Big Labowski. And I like Firefly to.
