Firefly on Fox

[Zhora]

Is anybody else watching this show? I've seen all 3 episodes and I am just loving it. It's very much sci-fi with a western kind of flair. The characters are all great, the stories are great, and the one-liners are hysterical. It's my favorite show of the new season.

I've been watching. It's pretty good. I missed a lot of this past week's episode because I went to the movies to see Red Dragon. I'm still anxious for this week's though!

You tapin' em, Zhora? I've heard good things, and I love good sci-fi, but this show didn't make my radar.

I let Tivo tape 'em until I have a chance to watch. I think tonight's episode is being pre-empted for baseball or something. It's not like a soap opera or anything Paulie. You should be able to ascertain a lot about the characters even if you start watching mid-season. I would be happy to recap the first 3 episodes and tell you more about the characters if you start watching and feel like you've missed something.

Firefly rocks.

I checked the TV Guide, and it said that last night's (10/11) episode of Firefly is postponed until next Friday.

Wow, talk about a bump!

Since Castle has become so popular and there's been discussion of Firefly in that thread, I thought I'd bump this one. Netflix just made all of the episodes available to watch streaming on their site, so I've been watching them this weekend. I forgot how much I LOVE this show! It's so fun to watch a show that's a few years old and see all the actors who are now well-known. I've already seen a young Zac Efron playing Simon as a young boy and Christina Hendricks (from Mad Men) playing Mal's "wife" Saffron.

I don't watch V, so I didn't realize that the actress who played Inara is like the head alien on V. I didn't recognize her in the commercials with her hair so short.

Watching the show makes me even more sad that it got canceled and that Fox didn't give it a chance to really catch on.

ETA: for anyone new to the show who wants to watch on Netflix, they have the episodes out of order. Make sure you watch what they have listed as episode 3 first - it's the 1 1/2 hour pilot that sets up the show.

I totally recommend that anyone who hasn't seen Firefly and who loves Nathan Fillion or Adam Baldwin or Alan Tudyk, or Gina Torres, etc., etc., etc., watch Firefly when you can. I bought the set and the Serenity follow-up movie because they are eminently rewatchable for me as I suspect Castle will be.

I don't watch Mad Men, but I saw Christina Hendricks in a few episodes of NBC's Life and I just haven't been drawn to V, but I did know Morena Baccarin is starring in it.
