I saw the firefly movie at my university theater for like $4 or something and that's probably about what it was worth

Firefly sucks rear end. I didn’t think you could ruin the Alien series’ reputation anymore than it already is, but having the Weyland-Yutani logo in the first episode of Firefly did it.

Joss Whedon wrote Alien 4 and claims they mangled it I think the firefly was fine but it’s fans have really embraced cringe which makes it hard to say without feeling secondhand embarrassment. Honestly, the writing is decent enough that I’d be willing to believe joss didn’t have much to do with it

I forgot there was 11 episodes, if it came out now it'd probably have only gotten 8 before Yahoo Films cancelled it. Firefly was actually 27% too long.

GundamHealer posted:There’s only 11 episodes of this thing? "only" is being really generous. they're tedious and juvenile as hell. Inara Serra is hired by Atherton Wing, one of her regular clients, and accompanies him to a formal dance. Badger hires Mal to meet a contact at the same dance and try to set up a smuggling job. When Mal hits Atherton for the way he treats Inara, Mal finds he has unknowingly challenged Atherton to a duel with swords. Atherton is a skilled swordsman and duelist. Inara tries to teach Mal how to use a sword overnight. Despite all expectations, Mal wins the duel. The contact, who personally dislikes Atherton, agrees to hire the crew to smuggle cattle to the Rim.

I rewatched Firefly a few years ago and it was pretty milquetoast tv, I remember liking it more back when it came out but then we had two decades of prestige television that blows poo poo like Firefly out of the loving water. I think Firefly was only ever comparatively good, people grew up watching awful horseshit shows like Home Improvement and Full House so the bar was just really low. I was also a stupid highschooler when Firefly came out, that may be an important detail

Joss Whedon didn't put much real effort into getting the series renewed because he knew deep down that it was dogshit, he moved on pretty fast to that forgettable Dollhouse show. It had a small but annoyingly loud fanbase on the internet, and that's simply not enough. He wrote and directed The Avengers, he probably could have gotten anything he wanted produced at that point but producing a second season of Firefly at that point would have been a massive mistake

I tried to go back and watch it during the pandemic. I got through 2/3rds of an episode and got bored and turned it off. Good or bad, everything Firefly tried to do has been spun out into numerous other TV franchises. Its really a shame that the last season of BSG is such a steaming pile of poo poo that it ruined the entire franchise. I ended up watching the first season (again during the pandemic) and for a show that came out in 2004, it still looks really good.

I remember really wantingto like it but I got to the episode where it was some party and maybe a bonfire and he talks to a lady and then bam that means he's married to her or something. I was super annoyed with it for some reason, like I felt like I was watching an episode of Dr Quinn or Briscoe County JR but even worse because I wasn't a kid anymore. So I turned it off.

Stargate SG-1 was a great series that I think is chronically underrated, and was a hell of a lot better than Firefly.

Was it the young, pretty, vulnerable waif with preternaturally savage killing powers? Why would you think Joss Whedon would be interested in a character like that

we’re all born barefoot and peeing in front of an audience, these acts are depicted often in cinema because they are core to the human condition from the earliest moments

Firefly easily ranks as one of the 3000 best seasons of television ever made. If it had lasted 100 episodes, I bet at least 20 of them would’ve been pretty good.

David Milch quickly realized the silly cusses wouldn’t work in Deadwood even if they were historically accurate.

So the shepherd in Firefly is called Book. And a few times they say that Book is good. He’s the good book, like what they call the Bible. Goddam the symbolism is another level and you cretins didn’t even see it
