deanb Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 http://helpnathanbuyfirefly.com/ Basically Nathan Fillion recently declared that if he won $300million in the lottery he'd buy the rights for Firefly, start up filming n distribute it on the net. And if he was ever asked to reprise the role of Mal he'd be there. http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/02/17/firefly-returns/ And for anyone interested, it's re-airing again, so a good chance to start up on it if you haven't.

McBeeferton Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 This pretty much sums up where I heard of Firefly and also my reaction to when I first watched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masonvrocks Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 So I think the general buzz around Firefly and my boredom convinced me to watch the first episode last night and then somehow, most likely through dark magic, Dean convinced to come back here. First episode seemed really good, really promising. My initial thought was "How the hell did this not find an audience?". Dean tells me they aired the second episode first, so maybe that's why, perhaps the 2nd episode has a huge drop in quality, we'll see. One thing I really liked about it was that it wasn't the typical version of space we get where everything's clean and shiny. Shit's dirty, the people are dirty and even the western style music gives it a bit of a dirty feel. Made it much more interesting. Also I was sad when I thought Kaylee died D; Also fuck you Heartless, I love HAWP and hadn't seen that and now I know that Book dies...Fuck. I'm almost nervous to read any other post in this thread now. Please use spoiler tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'ts not that the second has a huge drop in quality, just that the first does the majoirty of the story n character development. The second one starts and you have no effing idea who any of these people are or what they're doing. It's like starting from the middle of a book. Also lol at "version of space we get where everything's clean and shiny". Everything on Firefly is shiny The Alliance planets/ Central planets are clean n such. It's kind of like Star Wars, where tattoine on the edge has shady bars n mob bosses, then courscant in the middle is glowing sky scrapers. Just Firefly only once in the series, and a short while in the movie pop into the central planets. But yeah, it's written as a western. Then set in space. There's very little that's very sci-fi. No space lasers n teleporters n warp drives. It's bar brawls, territorial disputes, trains, plagues and gun slinging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masonvrocks Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 So I wonder why Haruhi got so popular. They broadcast the entire first season of that show in a completely random order. Maybe Japan is more willing to put up with shit like that. So question then. By the end of the first season/movie is there any kind of closure at all or will I just be left hanging?

deanb Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 End of the movie is closure. Basically he planned like 5 seasons, obviously only got one out. So the movie just kind of assumes that all those seasons did happens and goes off from there. Rather than like a "season 2 all crammed into a 2 hour long movie" sort of thing. So the movie is kind of weird in that aspect. It both acts as if it is it's standalone own thing, and as if it's continuing on Firefly. But it feels like it's just wrapping up on season 5, and it feels so natural, but you're obviously well aware that those series never happened.

SomTervo Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I am a fan of Firefly. I can play and sing the Hero called Jayne on guitar. Same! "He robs from the rich and he, gives to the poor..." I only saw the movie but I found the surprise revealing about the reapers to be not shocking at all. It was like it was ripped directly out of Xenogears. The series is so amazing, but contrary to loads of people on here I really didn't like Serenity that much. I just mistyped it Serentitty. I basically thought the series was well paced, emotional, had a brilliant visual tone, and had interesting stories; but I thought the film was a little too tight, the deaths of characters felt needless and "just for the drama" to me*, the style of it was faaar cleaner and bluer than the series (all the homely colours and grit was gone from the backgrounds and tones) and while the story was better than a lot of films, I felt they closed off to many of the nice loose ends** and tore apart a lot of what made the series loveable. I stil thought it was better than most movies out at the time, and in general, but I disregard the film whereas the series is in my top #3 favourites of all time. *On the deaths of characters: There was no fucking need for Wash to die. Or any of them to die, imho. I would have felt much better about the film if they had all survived to the end; it seems such a cliche that these days films just NEED a main protagonist to die to feel complete. **On the reapers: I still thought the fact that they explored the Reapers at all was a really bad idea. They should have remained a mystery- in the series I was terrified of them, but in Serenity they literally just became badly-made up psycho people who jumped around. The 2nd episode of the series (not including the pilot) where they find the becoming-reaper guy on the ship was nightmarish. No such brilliant scary storytelling or mystery in the film.

madbassman39 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I loved the series when it originally aired. I only watched a few episodes, and couldn't find more time to see it. The movie came out and I hadn't forgotten, but didn't see it in theaters. My friend's friend saw the movie, showed it to my friend who bought it and showed it to me. I said how I used to love what I saw of the series. Went home, bought the TV series and movie that night. Hands down one of my favorite movies/tv shows out there. (along with Arrested Development of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
