Firefly on DVD, will I enjoy it?

[Catch22Dem]

A co-worker loaned me the whole season on DVD and then loaned me the movie (Serenity) Do you think I'll enjoy the series. I caught bits and pieces when it originally aired, but it was one of those shows I never could remember to watch.

1. i didn't see the movie -- but i sure liked the series.

[YankeyMCC]

2. I can't predict what you'll like but I enjoyed both

the series and the movie very much.

It's a very smart, entertaining and intelligent story.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

3. I predict you'll buy it after you watch it.

If you like sci fi and wicked funny humor. Joss Whedon has the BEST sense of humor and can write dialogue like Stephen King can scare the shit out of you. We have both the series on DVD and the movie. Oh, they were FANTASTIC.

Its a great show, and Serenity is a fantastic movie.

6. I love the hell out of it!

Whether you will enjoy it, I don't know. The only way to find out is to watch it!

8. Loved it!

We totally missed the series when it was on, but went to go see the movie. That was so good we Netflixed all of the original series and bought the movie. Want more! :cry:

9. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Shindig and Our Mrs. Reynolds are two of my favorites.

But do watch them in order. :hi: You really are better off not having seen them when they originally aired - Fox aired the episodes out of order, which really fucks with the series.

[Ravenseye]

11. What about...

JAYNE!
THE MAN THEY CALLED JAYNE!

[MissB]

12. Jaynestown.

:rofl: That was a funny one too.

I liked them all, really. Even the one about the bordello.

[Catch22Dem]

13. I noticed the back of the DVD cases...

Have the original air dates and they're all out of order. WTF was that for?

[CPMaz]

21. It was aired out of order

due to network interference. If I remember correctly, the DVD set has them in the order they were shot/intended to air.

P.S. - It's a GREAT series. I hope Joss Whedon is able to pick up the story in the future.

25. The suits also moved it around in all the crappy time slots.

By the time I caught up with it, it had been strangled in its crib.

[ComerPerro]

18. Shindig is classic

[sarge43]

23. War Stories

It has Jayne's "I'll be in my bunk". :rofl:

[Ravenseye]

10. You'll love it

I missed the series when it was first on as well. Never really took to it. I got hooked though.

Watch the show. Some people have said you have to watch 2-3 episodes to get hooked but I was hooked partway through the first one.

Best Sci-Fi television series ever, imho.

[Catch22Dem]

14. Just started episode two

So far so good.

[sarge43]

26. Check out the deleted scenes

Zoe's monologue about the battle of Serenity Valley is heartbreaking.

[Richard Steele]

15. You sure will! If you haven't seen the movie, watch the series first.

because the movie serves as an awesome "final episode" to the whole project.

[Catch22Dem]

16. Yeah, that's what my friend told me

So that's what I'm doing. :D

[Richard Steele]

17. Excellent! You won't be sorry! nm

[Desertrose]

19. The series totally rocked!!!!

haven't seen the movie...heard some of the crew gets offed. Ain't ready for that yet......or ever maybe.

[leftofthedial]

20. great show.

a real travesty that it did not survive.

[sarge43]

22. Well, if you like good writing and good acting, you should.

Firefly isn't for everyone's taste; it's very dark and dense and not everything is explained in mind numbing detail. However, if it catches you, you'll buy the series to watch over and over.

[Mutley]

24. I liked Serenity, but never managed to catch Firefly.

I've been meaning to rent the season on DVD.

[supernova]

27. I loved it! - Huge Joss Whedon fan

that I am...

I loved both Firefly and Serenity. Cursing in Chinese! :rofl: What's better than a bunch of gun-totin' space cowboys? :D

I did not enjoy it quite as well as I grew to like Buffy and Angel, but I think that's only because it wasn't on long enough. Interestingly, Mal played Buffy's last villian, The Preacher, a dead on send up of a fundamentalist old-time preacher. :rofl:
