Why I loved FIREFLY (the series)

[karen_w_newton]

I recently got the entire series Firefly on DVDs. I had never seen any of it before. I watched it all within about 10 days; sad to say, it's only 4 discs, 14 episodes. All I can say is, wow! Well, that, and can we find the Fox executive who killed the show and get him/her fired

I had issues with the early episodes where the cast was feeling out their roles. But about episode #4, it just got good and stayed that way. "Serenity" may make you sad and angry. Did that to me.

Oh, and Summer Glau? I don't buy her as the ultimate weapon. Nope. Not one whit. She's that supermodel type. I did buy Zoe's character, but not hers.

Summer is the ultimate weapon? No spoilers! No spoilers!

Not a spoiler...they were going that way in the series, making out that she was physically dangerous at times. Insane, yes, but physically dangerous? The Bounty Hunter episode was awesome, though "Our Mrs. [Whatshisname]" is perhaps my favorite episode.

The bounty hunter episode was really original. And I liked The Message. I thought some of the episode names were pretty clever.

I think the biggest problem is the episodes were not shown in sequence. "Train Job," the second show was shown first. I was completely lost, but decided to stick it out. Much later, I saw the "first" episode. Fox shot themselves in the foot. The actual last episode never aired.

I had heard that. It flowed fine on the DVDs.
