Firefly, a television show by Joss Whedon. Now unfortunately cancelled.

Are there episodes anywhere on the net?

You can buy it at Amazon.com. The Complete Season. It is coming back though. Universal is talking with Joss Whedon about making a movie.

Amazing, January 10, 2004
Reviewer: Petri Wessman from Espoo Finland
I'd like to rant against the should-be-shot Fox TV execs who cancelled this, but other people have apparently done that for me. All I can say is: if you like science fiction and haven't seen Firefly, you are living in a state of sin. This is the best TV science fiction I have ever seen, and this is a serious Babylon 5 fan talking. God, I hope they continue this in some form.

I thought I should quote this for my Babylon 5 friend. It would seem that you have a traitor among you.

If you don't trust my word that you should definitely buy the complete series on DVD then just read the 453 reviews on Amazon.com. That will convince you, David and everyone else out there.

And here is a site if you would like to get to know Firefly a bit better;

Buy the Complete Series on DVD. You won't disappointed. Well, you will be disappointed after watching the last episode knowing that you would have to wait until at least 2005 when the Firefly movie is set to release. But keep up hope, my friends. They can't take the sky from us.

What a great trip, January 9, 2004
Reviewer: Händler, Lars from Germany
In Germany nobody of my friends has ever heard of Firefly. Some weeks before christmas I found the DVDs in the amazon.com charts. What amazed me were all these 5 star comments. I got some hot coffee and began reading more than 130 comments about that show.

I could not understand how someone would put together space ships, horses, antique guns und a crew of nine people. But 130 comments about a not yet released DVD set could not be that wrong. So I bought the DVD set and began watching.

I love Babylon 5 and Farscape and I tought there won't be anything matching these two but Firefly certainly does.

There is the real kickin CGI of the ships, the stations and even of the landscape. I havn't seen something like this before. There is zooming, sharpening and shaking in the CGI parts. That gives you the feeling it is real.

But more important are the characters. Star Trek needs two seasons to get you familiar with the characters. Farscape and Babylon did this in one season, but Firefly kicks them all. It took me the pilot and the first four episodes to got to know the crew. Well, and to love them - especially Kaylee Each episode the tension between certain characters rises. Some characters you hate and like as well - like Jayne. Joss Whedon did a great job creating this set of different characters matching so fine.

The stories are also something new and special. Never thought about robbing a train with a spaceship. In almost every episode crime is done but somehow in a just way. I really like "Out of Gas" because of its movie-like cutting, fantastic sound and dark mood. And "War Stories" is also great. The torture is really hard and I don't think they would show it in Germany. But it makes it real. And at the end of "The Message" there is this over the top good bye scene with fantasic sound that wants to make you cry out loud.

But my most favorite episode is "Jaynestown". The biggest thing Firefly does can be best seen in Jaynestown. It entertains and it makes you LAUGH OUT LOUD. Really, image sitting in front of your TV at 11 pm and can't stop laughing. It just gets better and better.

All in all, this show is great and I hope the movie is coming soon.

You can't take the skies from me!

Another traitor, my Babylon 5 friend.

And where did you find these reviews?

Oh well... I have found that fans of Firefly also really enjoy watching Babylon 5 and the same goes the other way.

Babylon 5 any chance I get. Best Sci-Fi I have ever seen-Firefly is every bit equal to it. Both make me think.

The Firefly DVD is now 16th on the Amazon.com sales charts. And an article I just read said that FOX has completely sold out every single DVD set they made and there are demands that more be made by consumers. I hope that was the message Universal Studios needed to give the green light for the movie ann another article said that FOX wants in on the movie if Universal does. I hope Joss tells FOX to screw off in that case.

Keep on flying.

Play this Firefly flash game. It is based on the Battle of Serenity Valley where then Sergeant Reynolds and the soldiers under his command held Serenity Valley from the Alliance up until the Independence surrendered to the Alliance.

Is it necessary to put pics in the forum that attempt to place cookies on my comp? I don't like cookies. I might like firefly, if I ever heard of it, but I hate cookies. Most likely it was an oversight, but it should be known.

Well, that is something that someone from programming is going to have to answer. I guess it would come from the site that I got the image from or it might be the way the forum works. Not sure.
