Firefly
I just finished watching the original pilot episode of Firefly (entitled "Serenity") on the first DVD (via Netflix).
How gratifying to see a Science Fiction series about which all the superlatives are true.
Much more later...
I agree. And wait till you see Jaynestown.
I probably won't see the movie opening weekend, though.

I'm apparently now on the press list for the Dallas viewing next Tuesday.
Posted by: Gunner at September 22, 2005 10:17 PMOh! Me too! (I'm working my way through the box set in preparation for the press/blogger screening next Tuesday in Waukesha (aka "Milwaukee").)
Posted by: Chan S. at September 23, 2005 10:32 AMI almost signed up for the blogger screening, but I have soccer and scouting conflicts that night.
Tuesday night in San Antonio for me!

SciFi has been re-running that series. It's amazingly good, and I had NEVER heard of it before. Tangent alert: Was the season finale of BSG unbelieveably good, or WHAT?! That's working it's way up into my favorite sci-fi series of all time. Quickly. And I'm positively addicted to sci-fi.

I sure want to catch the movie and hope the SciFi channel picks up the series and restarts it. ;-)
Posted by: Dan Kauffman at September 26, 2005 07:14 PMWe bought the dvd set a few months ago after seeing a vhs of the pilot (we don't have cable). I think we've watched every episode at least three times -- Saturday we're taking both sons and both their girlfriends (a triple date!) to watch the film. Can't wait.
And, oh yeah, don't miss Mosquito

Posted by: chris hall at September 29, 2005 02:03 PMHi Chris, I'm glad to hear you liked Mosquito. I had the opportunity to play the character "Book" in Mosquito. (The angry priest.) We had a great group of actors, crew, director, etc. to work with and the skills of the music composer and special effects/computer people was amazing. We'd love to hear any feedback you and others might like to share. Thanks.
