Fillion's still talking about buying the rights is he not? I remember reading something about that last year. Even if he did though, nothing would happen until Castle goes off the air. Not sure I'd want anything to happen either.

Just a few weeks ago (as a result of the successful Veronica Mars kickstarter, hooray!) Whedon said he wasn't really interested in doing more any time soon anyway. It's just not in his schedule.

I have to laugh at all the Firefly references that keep cropping up in Castle, this one being the most obvious:




Man, they just won't stop doing them! I like in one episode when Castle put on the blue forensic gloves and he's slightly in the background...he just flexes two of his fingers and mouths "Two by two." God bless that man!

And yeah, Fillion said he would, but it's been proved that he was only joking. Just our luck -.-

Hulu only has the most recent season of Castle, and Netflix doesn't have it at all. Looks like I will have to resort to other means to watch this show which is receiving so much praise.

Got the wife to watch Firefly pilot with me last night and she liked it but said that "nothing was happening". I get what she was saying, but knowing what is in store, I couldn't help but laugh at her. She farted and then went to sleep.

He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

I watched the one were they come across an abandoned ship that has been attacked by Reavers. Awesome episode. Anyone else think of the Reavers from Gears of War when hearing their name?

Just imagine the Firefly crew inserted into the Defiance cast. Just do that with me for a moment, please :)

Started re-watching the series, in its intended order. Shiny.
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Now I'm going to have to dig out my boxed set.

I just can't stop picking at that scab.

Watched "Ariel" and "War Stories" last night. The latter is the first episode where River exhibits some of her badass tendencies and quite handily shoots three of the guards on Niska's space station and freaks the fuck out of Kaylee. I got chills down the entire length of my body when that scene came on.

Oh, and the Bible being "somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps." Def in the top 5 best lines of the series.

Dammit, just when I think I've gotten past it being cancelled someone mentions it again. Oh well, better watch an episode. Just one. Maybe.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who's actually a bit indifferent about this show getting cancelled. Okay, it was entertaining and I liked Serenity, but I never thought it was as good as most people seem to think it was.

I can't help but equate my feelings about Firefly with my feelings about Stargate Atlantis. Sure, I liked it, but I didn't think it was that good and I certainly don't miss it. Now, Firefly was better and I wouldn't mind it getting renewed but I guess I just always thought it was mediocre sci-fi and nothing more.

Can someone explain what it was they liked so much about this show? Was it the setting? It's really not something we haven't seen before. Was it a lack of aliens? In my opinion, aliens or lack thereof does not good sci-fi make. The acting? It always felt a bit forced to me, a bit....wooden maybe.
Or was it simply because it got cancelled before its time? Are people suffering from collective Stockholm syndrome?

If someone could please tell me why I should like this show as much as them I'd be grateful, because I'm really not seeing what, aside from an entertaining and okay show getting cancelled, the big deal is.
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

It appeals to me. It's a very quality show, writing wise, sfx-wise and visually. THe acting suffers sometimes, but I can overlook that (actors get paid too much $ anyway) because the settings themselves are characters, and they are realistic, at least within the confines of the show's parameters.

It has laughs and sadness, ups and downs, good guys, bad guys, evil guys. Mal is identifiable, in fact pretty much the whole cast is. The frontier theme, and other archetypical themes are explored differently than with other space sci-fi, so its also refreshing. Theys is pretty gurls. There's benevolent violence and mayhem. Mystery, drama, comedy, love, hate, despair, desperation, triumph, family...

I don't know, man. I think the real question is why DON'T you think it's great?
