Re: She don't like Firefly
I really don't get what the attraction to Firefly is in the first place. I didn't even finish the only season they made because it really didn't do anything for me.

Re: She don't like Firefly
I've only heard of Faid, Iceborg and Bio talking about the show, but it got a 9.4 on IMDB; maybe I'll check it out some day.

Re: She don't like Firefly
Gotta say from what little I've seen of the show its vastly overrated. Thats not to say its necessarily a bad show but it doesn't live up to all the hype it gets.

I disagree, I saw it just before watching Serenity and I have to say it had something special about it.Solid Rock wrote:Gotta say from what little I've seen of the show its vastly overrated. Thats not to say its necessarily a bad show but it doesn't live up to all the hype it gets.
The main people where annoyed is there was so much storyline for the show it could have ran for as long as Stargate.

Re: She don't like Firefly
I dont think firefly was overrated. It had a great cast who I cared about through the story.

Re: She don't like Firefly
Okay, I think im opening a can of worms. But man am I a fanboi (or girl) of Firefly, and no disrespect, but I dont get how ppl who haven't seen it can pass judgement on it.
Yes it has flaws, not everyone will get the whole space-western thing. And taken out of its context its a bit confusing, my last boyfriend actually saw some random episodes and didn't get it at all. I just love the whole feeling of the show and the movie. I love every character, Joss really made them come to life, and the way he builds the chars with every episode, everything is so connected and I just love it. Every time I see an episode I notice something new, a new joke a new twist, joss really put alot of thought in the chars and the script. There are so many jokes and one liners that just makes me laugh every time I hear them. And the fact that the actors seems to like their chars just as much as I do, you dont get that on a regular tv show. Like a few weeks ago, when Nathan Fillon(captain Mal) said If he won the state lottery he would buy the rights to Firefly and do more episodes. There is just one bad thing, Zach Efron is in it, he plays a young Simon, and noone can really like Zach, right?

Re: She don't like Firefly
See, now that show I liked. As for Firefly, I'm with Solid on this one, I just think it was overrated. Or maybe it was overhyped and when I got to watching it I expected something I'd be into.derretimos wrote:i edited it down a bit, but that's exactly how i feel about arrested development.

Re: She don't like Firefly
Well I guess everything that many call great, will always have a bunch of people saying its overrated. Im just pretty sure most ppl who think firefly is overrated haven't actually seen all episodes . I think I've seen some arrested development, don't even remember if I liked it or not so I guess that makes it overrated by definition...

Re: She don't like Firefly
I loved the firefly series! I think though it has become one of those shows/movies that people think it's cool to like.. sort of like Big Labowski or Pulp Fiction. (Love Pulp Fiction, hated Big Labowski)

Re: She don't like Firefly
I don't doubt that its a good show that was cancelled far too early for its potential, but it seems to get blown far out of proportion. Some people seem to think it was the single greatest thing in the history of television, which is kinda hard to live up to for a midrange budget sci-fi show.
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.

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.
