Superficial 'firefly' Thoughts

Stag · 01-26-2004, 01:05 PM

OK, I recently cracked open Mr. Wallet and boght the Firefly DVD set after much delay and a little encouragement from Arik.

All I have to say is...DAMN.

I miss this show, and I only watched it on the DVD set not when it was broadcast.

I remeber thinking after watching the first disc which contained 3 episodes, that I already knew more about these characters then after three (well almost) seasons of ENT.

Between this show and 'Stargate SG-1' and to a lesser extent Babylon 5, I am beginning to urinate on my TV screen everytime ENT comes on.

Also, Arik, does Astrobar have, r will it be getting a 'companion' anytime soon.? Grrrrrrr.

Also, alot of the SFX shots in space have 'BSG 2003' feel to them. Well actually, I should have said the 'BSG 2003' SFX have a 'Firefly' feel to them.

Speaking of BSG, don't the Alliance guys in 'Firefly' remind you of the 'Alliance' pseudo-Nazi guys that the origanl 'Battlestar Galactica' had on towards the end of its run.

Bring back 'Firefly'!!

Re: CG effects.

A lot of the same people were involved in making the effects for both shows, and the CG model of the Serenity is even in BSG2003 - it flies over the doctor's office in Caprica City very early on when Mary McDonnel's character is being told that she has cancer.

Yeah, comparisons between Firefly and Enterprise's characters show the difference between writing stories that revolve around characters and writing stories that have characters.

As for a 'companion', no. We're not getting one. You could ask one of the females who post here to switch professions, tho...

And the Firefly/BSG2K3 effect shots were (IIRC) both done by the same team. In fact, in one scene there was supposed to be a shot of Serenity flying by a window (that's how much they miss the show, too).

EDIT: But Brikar just told you that.

Viva Firefly!
