I watched the movie when it first came out, and thought it was pretty good. However i only learnt last month that a series came before it. Since then i have watched the series, which was brilliant, and rewatched the movie, which this time round was just as good, and made more sense. Its a pity Wash and Book had to die imo though.

Science Fiction is an existential metaphor; it allows us to tell stories about the human condition.
Isaac Asimov once said individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all.

I still haven't decided whether I put Firefly or Stargate SG-1 as my favorite sci-fi show (BattleStar Galactica is climbing the ladder though). Firefly was a great series. I curse FOX every day for what they did.Originally posted by MB.EddieYou should as soon as you get the chance. Its way better than the movie imo, and i rated the movie highly
As far as Serenity, I feel more comfortable saying that I think it's my favorite sci-fi movie. It was just outstanding.sigpic

Serenity is my favourite movie ever. BSG is my favourite tv show though. It's so much harder to choose a favourite tv show then a movie I find.....
Hallowed is Joss Whedon.

I'd go with Firefly. Something that can make you feel that intensely for that crew, can pack in that many great stories and inspire so many emotions in the viewer in such a tragically short space of time? That's a unique and beautiful thing.Originally posted by Pepermint Jaffa

The show and the film just have so much heart and passion put into them and it completly comes across to the viewer. It's what makes Firefly brilliant.Originally posted by silverdamascus
They certainly achieved in those few eps what most shows don't over multi-year runs.

I think that Firefly is a better show that BSG (although not by much), but BSG has something going for it that Firefly doesn't; it's still continuing.Comment

Its certainly a tough one.Originally posted by Pepermint Jaffa
Firefly was brilliant, but was only short lived, so i cant relate to it as much as i can to other shows, such as SG1.
Im sure if they had made another season or 2 of the same quality, it would be my favourite show without a doubt.
For the moment, it sits in my top 5 shows

i was just wondering if anyone had seen the scifi channel in the uk around 6 o'clock tonight there were scenes from serenity on it and i just wanted to know if anyone knew if they were showing it for a reason and if so why. I think it was for the scifi channel cause there was the scifi logo. Anyways i'd be grateful if someone could help. thanks.
