You Must See Firefly/Serenity
So my brother recently got into Firefly, that long-lamented sci fi epic that Fox prematurely axed back in the days of yore. I suspect he only started watching cause I mentioned it in some Terminator-related conversation. Given Terminator's fate, you can guess what that conversation centered around.
Anyway, he watched the show and then the movie. Afterward he heartily recommended I give it a go myself, which I did over the past week while I was sick with bronchitis (ugh.) And then, four days ago, I watched the film.
I think I can say with some degree of certainty that I feel more remorse over Firefly's age-old cancellation than I do for Terminator's much more recent demise. Firefly was *that* good a show. I'm sure you can find some gushing reviews out there, so I won't spare any words on why it was so good except to say that if you haven't seen this quality TV series/movie before this moment, you must stop what you are doing this instant and go see them. The show's on Hulu.com and you can easily find the movie from a variety of internet sources.
Seriously. Go see them right now. And if you have seen them, do it again.
