Mmmm Firefly. Good stuff there. Definitely pick up Serenity and watch it *after* watching Season 1.

And prepare to be very annoyed that what is out, is currently all there is (and possibly all there will every be, short of books and comics)

Yeah, we decided not to see the movie when it was out because we wanted to do things in the righ order. We do plan to see the movie after the TV show.

For tv viewing, I have to say that Netflix is faster than I thought and allows you to keep stuff as little or as long as you like.

Good point -- and they supply the return envelopes, so you don't have to go anywhere to deal with it. That might be the way to go.

They do, and a regular mailbox is all you need. I really like it -- we just joined. I mailed the first movie back on Saturday. I think I had the next movie in my cue Tuesday morning.

We've seen three episodes [of Firefly] so far, and it's got my attention.

I've seen all of the first two DVDs, and the first episode on disc 3 (but I wasn't paying enough attention so I'll go back and re-watch when I get the chance). I'm not gonna see the movie until I get done with the episodes. It's got my attention as well, but I don't have the discs (yet).

I take it we aren't going to find out what's up with River before the end of the show (or the movie)?

I sure don't think so... but wait til you see what she gets up to on the second DVD (primarily the episode "Safe").

I was a little surprised to see how overtly a western it is...

I gather that the non-Core worlds can't get much by way of technology, so they go with what they can get. As for the analogy between the non-Core worlds and the Wild West, I picked up on that before I even saw the pilot ("Serenity" on disc 1).

We haven't had cable in a long time. But we do netflix and get all the good tv stuff from it. Right now we are watching 6 Feet Under, a series that was on HBO. I recommend this method.

I hadn't realized that Netflix's cheapest plan was so cheap. $6/month for 2 discs a month, which isn't all that unreasonable (and if it is, I'm sure they make it easy to upgrade). Are they good about sending you TV shows in order, or when you put a show on your list, do you risk getting the discs out of sequence?

arabella23 June 28 2006, 03:01:31 UTC

Yes, we haven't gotten any out of order and we've watched a ton of shows. They have a button like add something and it puts them in your que in order

I won't provide any spoilers other than to say watch all the episodes in order, when you finish watching the episodes keep in mind that the series was canceled abruptly, then watch Serenity.

Much will suddenly make sense by the time the credits roll at the end of the movie.

Oh yeah, and if you haven't found it already, study this website:

It's translations of the Chinese lines spoken during the TV series and movie.
