I <3 Firefly!

While I've yet to step up with the new format, I'm happy to see this is getting the treatment it deserves.

[Smeggy]

Sweet, I was just watching it again last night.

Looks more and more like I need a decent Blu-Ray player.

My thoughts exactly. With this news, I'm glad that I've never got around to buying my own copy of Firefly DVD.

I have yet to see one episode of the lauded Firefly. \

[saint.panda]

Oh man you should. Fantastic series.

[Salt Peanuts]

....and get or borrow the DVD so you can actually watch all of the episodes in the correct order.

Wow. This is the first title that actually makes me want a Blu-Ray player.

i appreciate the show now, but it's still low budget effects...

How do the effects compare to Babylon 5?

[Knuckledragger]

The, ahem, acting and direction are far better in Firefly. The main characters are more compelling. The bad guys are more scary (dude, Niska.)

Actually I've seen all of firefly and loved it. I am just wondering whether or not Babylon 5 is worth getting into since I have the DVDs laying around

I actually really like the special effects in space -- they remind me of watching real astronauts when I was a kid. That and the fact that you can't hear rocket engines in space add a sense of realism and charm to the show.

[deepak]

it's super epic, has a tremendous story arc, some fantastic actors (and some pretty shitty ones), and some of the most stilted dialog ever put on film.

Babylon 5 right? I've watched season one in its entirety. Didn't find the time to watch the rest. One of the made for TV movies (I think it was The Gathering?) blew me away.

Firefly flipping owns your face, you must watch. My favorite television series ever, however short-lived (perhaps Lost will overtake it eventually, depending on how it ends).
