Great series. Too bad Fox cancelled it before they even got to finish airing all the episodes. Now Sci-Fi is showing Firefly epsiodes (including the previously unaired eps) and Dreamworks is releasing the movie Serenity, which continues the firefly story.

Yes i have seen both the tv show and the film and say it is the top ranks like B5. Took awhile to see past the western feel of it but it took the human side of it to make it a good SF show and film.

Am I the only one who thinks that the character Wash was one of us? He's even got that same "not quite here" look I see on my own face in group photos.

There is something about a space ship full of live cattle. I realize it has to happen, but yet it's so hard to wrap my brain around.

I agree its cool looking, but don't you think they'd just use cars when they're on the ground instead of horses?

But cars from where? Horses can reproduce, cars have to be traded for. Plus mechanical maintenance would depend on more off world trade, and that might sporadic. The real prosperous settlements might be able to swing it, if they had a valuable resource that they could extract easily. It seems likely that the average settlement might not manage much more than food or shelter. Serenity does have a four wheeler on board, but it is good for only one or two people.

What I'm still trying to figure out is how a doofus like Wash hooked up with someone who probably knows fifty ways to kill a man with her bare hands.

OK, I guess if there was a severe economic depression or something, the dependence on livestock might make some sense...
