Subject: Firefly and other things

...
On Firefly: I thought this was easily one of the best new shows of the past five years. It not only got a huge number of things familiar to serious readers correct that TV and film perpetually get wrong, it also had a good cast chemistry and dialogue that was worth my full attention. Many SF shows have been little more than Westerns with ray guns but Firefly takes the idea of the post-Civil War oater seriously and finds good reasons for why these settings and situation exists centuries hence.

Since I'd hope you're long since done with the Stargate SG-1 and Farscape discs I lent you perhaps I can get a gander at Firefly once you've watched it to your satisfaction. There are several episodes in that set just as the big story arc was starting to form that were never broadcast.

I have watched the first couple of episodes of Firefly and I tend to agree. I don't know how I missed this series.>>
