For those Cappy Cappites of the Capposphere that haven't seen it, I strongly recommend you watch the series Firefly.
Cpt. Malcolm Reynolds was actually fashioned after yours truly (and now wait for the roaring accusations of blasphemy)
How are they going to get Fillion back from Castle? (and loose 20lbs. too) And what are the writers going to do? Filler story-lines between the show and Serenity? I think this would be a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteFF was awesome but let's not ruin what we have with (what you know will be) sub-par sequels.
Until it's back, if it ever comes back, you'll have to sate your appetite for Firefly with the next closest things: Cowboy Bebop and Trigun.

ReplyDeleteWhiskey would disagree, Whedon didn't get a chance to show his pro feminist pro crusadering credentials like he did with Buffy & Dollhouse. Expect the same with a second season of firefly.

ReplyDeleteI just wrote this after being annoyed with some OWS hippies. Anyone see any flaws/shit that should be added?
Awesome series!
ReplyDeleteHave you watched the movie yet??
Some of this series can be seen on Netflix via streaming.
ReplyDeleteFirefly has to be the most overrated TV series ever. Like bacon, it's just something the Internet decided was cool and now won't shut up about it. It was a halfways competently written SF/Western genre fusion marred by B-grade acting, tired old plotlines, and Whedon trying desperately hard to dodge the fact that he's really writing about ex-Confederate soldiers in the Reconstruction Era South, a not terribly sympathetic bunch of people.
ReplyDeleteWell, Joss has already killed two of the best characters in really spectacular and super-duper-final ways. So I'm really not seeing the show coming back. Not that I didn't wish I lived in an alternate universe where it didn't get the total fuck-over it got in this one from the network...but this remains the universe where I dwell, and I must accept that reality.
ReplyDeleteNew Firefly or no, I must say I applaud the idea of Netflix actually funding and producing content. Given a bit of time and a bit of luck, they might well do to the legacy networks what eBooks are doing to legacy publishers -- shake out the market so that the ones who genuinely add value emerge stronger, while the ones who are simply blood-sucking middlemen all die horrific deaths amounting to the corporate equivalent of what happened to Wash. And we, the audience, get to watch.
As an aside, whedons best show was angel, probably because it had the least feminist overtones
