Firefly - The Complete Series

Pros: Amazing characterization and story-line. Perfect cast. 
Cons: Only one season. 

Firefly has often been dubbed a 'sci fi western.' Though I personally stay away from westerns at all costs, Firefly grabbed me and pulled me in from the very beginning, barely letting go at the untimely end. Though it has been criticized for the ...

Pros: terrific characters, unique concept
Cons: occasionally smutty and violent, seems a little down on religion

This past Christmas, my brother Benjamin gave me two DVD boxed sets. One was season four of LOST, my favorite TV show. The other was Firefly, the short-lived ...

Pros: One of the best TV series ever, that nobody saw
Cons: Cut down in its prime

After Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel became huge successes on The WB, 20th Century Fox Television realized the guy behind those shows was on their payroll (the original BtVS movie was a 20th Century Fox film, so they owned the show, too, even though ...

Pros: very inventive story, great cast, impressive special effects, lots of fun
Cons: it got cancelled

Back in 2002, FOX tried to bring an original show to the air in the form of Firefly. Based some five-hundred years in the future, it focused on a ship of outcasts who flew about the galaxy trying to avoid both sides of the law. They fly aboard a ...

Pros: Six star television all the way.
Cons: It died of abuse by the network

Firefly: The Complete Series (2002) By Joss Whedon. Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell 'em I ain't comin' back ...

Pros: Vibrant, alive characters, fascinating world, classic Whedon dialogue.
Cons: Far too short.

I didn't watch Firefly when it first aired on FOX in 2002. In 2002 I was thirteen years old, barely even watching primetime TV. I did hear of it, as I was at the time a budding Buffy fan, and I recognized Joss Whedon's name on the half dozen ads I saw in ...

Pros: -Great Characters -Great Story
Cons: -None

It was sad that this show got the boot. I’ve never seen so much space western comical drama in my life. It’s a very unique and very character driven show where you find yourself welding shot guns, walking in dusty western towns, and traveling through ...

Pros: Funny, innovative, creative, witty.
Cons: None

My husband and I were die-hard Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans for the entire life of the series, so when we heard that a new series was coming out written by Joss Whedon, we were excited beyond words. However, when we watched the first episode, the only ...

Pros: Absolutely fabulous all around.
Cons: There is only one season! I need about ten more.

This is one of the best shows I have ever seen. Every episode is well-written and entertaining. I have probably watched this on DVD over ten times. It's one of those shows that you can watch over and over and it never gets old. You often pick up new ...

Pros: It has the perfect mix of suspense, comedy, action and underlying romance.
Cons: Canceled after one season so you're left hanging when it's over.

This is the story of a group of people from different walks of life (a preacher, a bandit, two military soldiers, a pilot, a mechanic, a doctor, a glorified prostitute known as a companion and a government research experiment), coming together to travel ...

Pros: The boxset is inexspensive, you can also get a feature length movie called Serenity
Cons: Fox cancelled it, so unless someone commissions more, this is it .

Firefly: The Series itself I came upon this series quite by accident. I was looking through listings one night, and nothing else decent was on at the time, so I flicked to the Sci Fi channel's reshowing of the original Star Trek series (no jokes ...

Pros: Great ensemble cast, intelligent and witty dialogue, repeat viewings are rewarded.
Cons: There's too little of it.

I cannot think of any two genres I enjoy less than westerns and science-fiction, so I wasn't nearly as open-minded as I should have been when a friend of mine sent my wife and me the complete Firefly as a wedding gift. Frankly, I actively intended ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: nothing

In the series Firefly we find that sometime in the distant future we find that the Earth is getting to the point where we can't live on anymore so the government know as the Alliance spreads to different worlds to make them livable. A few people ...

Pros: Good script, great characters, originality
Cons: Don't show this to elderly Chinese, they might get offended by the language

Sci-fi series today are about as predictable as daytime soap operas. Running the gamut from the formulaic script involving human-alien wars to the nameless guy who dies from a seemingly harmless console explosion. Then there is Firefly, which I ...

Pros: Great writing, creative, cast, presentation, western theme works well
Cons: Most won't get the western theme, some bad dialog, not every episode is golden

I'm not the biggest sci-fi fan. I can't sit through an entire episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation even though I do appreciate it and everything it represents. Though I love quite a few sci-fi movies, the TV shows don't usually grab me as ...
