My Son (Ya, ya. He's probably older than most of you

) just gave me the Firefly DVD collection for my birthday. Awesome show.

Anyone else find it a crime against SciFiDom that Firefly got cancelled while Andromeda and Enterprise (though getting better), continue?

we have a new drama series called "fireflys" here (australia). it's about fighting fires in the bush and is only on it's 6th episode or so.
prolly not what you're talking about though

FireFly probably didn't last long because people were into Farscape at the time, and perhaps thought that it was just another clone trying to cache in on Farscape's success.

Too bad Farscape was then cancelled anyways, even though it had the best ratings of any Sci-Fi show other then perhaps Stargate SG1 (lame) at the time.

Well hey, Stargate SG1 is at least amusing... even if it does get a bit, uh, worn out at times.

Oddly enough I've never seen Firefly, and only even heard of it thanks to the Internet. What actually is it about?

It's basically a western in space. Oh and legalized prostitution. I thought it was a great show!

Firefly is the nonconformist individual; honorable thieves and hookers against the Alliance out in the new frontier of terraformed worlds. Too ideologically risquÃ© for USA broadcast TV. DVD sold so well a movie to wrap the story up is in the works:)
