A guy at work recommended it to me, I watched the mini series which I felt was a little slow but thats mostly the result of watching it in one sitting I think. The series are GREAT. I'm 1/2 way through series 3 and I am well and truly hooked.

Started out good. Slowed way down. Picking up again. Two hour movie sucked. Season four ends it.
-
I watched most of the first season. It was alright, but didn't hook me at all. Edward James Olmos is pretty cool though
-
I downloaded Firefly, but haven't had a chance to watch it.
-
Yeah Ive seen all of the Firefly and Serenity, I actually grabbed it from work last night. Battlestar reminds me of it a lot mostly due to the same style CGI cinematography (same company did both)
-
I hate Firefly pretty much based on the people that like it.
I've never seen an episode
-
Nope. I couldn't stand Buffy or Angel or those other shows so I don't think I'm gonna like his show about cowboys in space
-
in fact, I think this weekend will consist of nothing but
Firefly + Serenity + several pizzas.
Friggin' awesome show!! Serenity was 11/10 too. Only B5 beats it!

!?!?! :( :( :(

Buffy was terrible. I couldn't get into the POS. Never tried Angel.
-
+1 for Firefly and BSG
Great shows.
-
Buffy sounds ridiculously lame to me, but it's supposed to be literature caliber.
-
Hell I hate most fads but I have to honestly say Serenity is one of my favorite movies of all time. I had never seen a Firefly episode before seeing the movie, although I've seen a couple since and while not as good as the movie they are better than 95% of the crap out there. I know its the same guy that did Buffy and whatnot but its nothing like that drivvel.

That's only coming from nerds who say you just "don't get" their latest anime about a schoolboy who turns into a girl to save glorious Nippon from a tentacle monster from the 8th dimension

What made Serenity work for you?
-
All of the chicks. Almost.

Really? I never watched the show, but everything I heard was that it really was well done and deserved praise and attention and stuff.
-
I dunno, I saw a couple episodes and it seemed pretty weak to me.
-
I'm talking about Buffy. I never watched Firefly because there was pretty much nothing in it that I was interested in.

I've watched a fair bit of BSG. The first series, like a lot of tv shows these days, unfortunately seemed to rely on soft porn as a hook, which wasn't necessary. Since then it's blown lukewarm and cold. There were a couple of episodes in the third series where they touched very lightly on the effects of occupation by a foreign power that seemed to promise to allude to the mess of Iraq but then wimped out; ditto with Baltar's (communist) 'manifesto'. Nice effects, decent enough characterisations (Olmos is very good) but the shows were ultimately disappointing. Having said that, it's miles better than the seventies version which was utter shit.
Buffy's not literature but it was original and post-modern in the sense that it included strong moral relativisms and inverted the cute girlie as victim. Of course, guys my age had to make up all sort of shit to get away with watching 'art' like that. I never watched Angel because it featured a bloke and so that show was obviously neither original nor post-modern in its exploration of moral relativism.
Buffy sucked.
You know, I always wondered about that.
I have to confess that I watched the Serenity movie on the strength of PJ's review (that's a couple you've recommended that have been very watchable) then watched - and thoroughly enjoyed - the tv series probably because ethic wouldn't stop hammering on about it. It's actually very good; I don't think Whedon did all the writing but the writing is clever and polished enough for what it does, although it did dumb down stuff beyond what's necessary ("Mal's latin for bad" springs to mind; it's glaringly telegraphed without the need to state it).
