    I never got into it. I'd be willing to try again if I knew it were going to be back on tv.

    I didn't catch on to the series until it was already off TV. I saw the serenity movie and then got the full series on DVD. I can't believe it didn't last other than probably alot of people like me didn't see it until it was too late.

    Anyway, your bro is right, it's coming back.

    I just checked and Amazon has it for $34, or there are several on fleabay a good deal cheaper

    This is not a remake or sequel, it is just airing of the original series.

    The dvd set shows two additional episodes that never made it on the original run. However those two episodes were aired when they were repeated. Mmmmm Kaylee

    Fox screwed Firefly.

    They didn't get to show the two hour pilot where characters were established, etc. until AFTER it debuted with another episode.

    They then rushed them into doing an episode(the one where they rob the train) on a very short time frame.

    That show is the best and has a following all over the world.

    I didn't catch onto it until it was off either.

    All the actors said it was the best working atmosphere they ever had and I must say it showed in the quality of the show.

    Firefly and Jericho really light me up but they never last long....shows that aggrandize individualism and standing up to corrupt authority never make it in the "free" world.

    Damn shame....

    Nice pictures - 8 good reasons to bring back the Firefly series. [:D][^]

    i got both the series and the movie at sams club when i saw them. Loved the series when it was on, and it went off too soon. Seems the tv execs do not want certain ideas to be accepted. Wonder if we need more pics of vera........? And yes, some GRENADES would be handy to have many times when facing reavers. Maybe i'll add that to my zombie apocolypse go bag.

    I want the DVD set soooo bad!!! I also watched a few shows after it was too late....and LOVED it. I am so happy to know someone FINALLY was smart enough to know how many people love that show.

    I don't remember you entering when I had the DVD set as part of a giveaway, way back.

    I see we have some serious flans around here, judging by the obscure photos. Didn't know so many folks here liked the show; mebbe it's Browncoats come lately. Better late than never!

    It's the same on another gun board I'm on. With all the people who are getting excited about the reruns coming back, you'd think some TV exec would be smart enough to give Joss some money, discretion and a time slot.

    Back in the day, a topic amongst the fans was what kind of new series they'd be willing to accept. Same actors, subs, different ship, etc. I was ostracized for saying I'd take anything new, as long as the same creative team was involved. I just like that 'verse. How about a spin-off with Monty's ship?


    Anywho, here's a few pics to tide you over:

    ProtoVera1.jpg

    This version of Vera was from the Eddie Murphy movie Showtime, before it was used on Firefly. Saiga-12, give or take.

    Nathan is pro-Jewel:

    'Member the tattoo he flashed in Trash? When asked he tells people it says "Property of Gina Torres".

    I did catch an episode of that show and thought it was strange. Machine guns on a space ship.

    Locust Fork, I'll look and see if there is a boxed set available for you today at lunch. Boxed sets run $5 or a dollar a disc here.

    If they have it, I'll send you one.

    Some of these sets are questionable if they will run on a std dvd player. They all run on my computer via my VLC player.

    Transport ship ain't got no guns on it! Or did you mean people carrying sub-guns?

    Locust Fork posted she bought the set already.

    Target and Best buy has sale on the TV DVDs for $20 (I paid that) and wouldn't pay that for an old DVD set. I haven't seen the movie (regular or deluxe) up for sale lately.

    Where are they now? I know Jayne is on "Chuck" and I'm sure he'd drop that job like a bag of poop. Mal is on "Castle" basically plays a similar guy without the gun and space ship.

    As for where abouts of the others (I don't wanna IMDB it) even though I miss Kaylee.

    I can't help but think of Full Metal Jacket every time I see a wood-stocked M14/1A.

    Not mentioned in the movie, but Adam Baldwin sez the mocked-up mini-gunesque long arm he carried at the end of Serenity was named Lux, after a hardcore fan and Firefly forum member with the username Lux Lucre. Lux was very ill from (goes to look it up) diabetes when Baldwin and Alan Tudyk (Wash) went and met up with him in a bar, just because that's the kind of people the Firefly cast was. They spent some time drinking, he got a couple photos with them and posted the pics and a report on the forum. He died before the movie came out, and Baldwin wanted to memorialize him.

    I believe that was you. That reminds me, if anybody wants to know how to access the Easter Eggs on the series & movie DVDs just ask - but I guess you could google it. Way to go, spreading the signal. That set I gave away was one of two that I bought just for loaners.


    As for the rest of the cast, Gina Torres (Zoe) got a couple TV spots but she's mostly happy at home with Laurence Fishburne. Most of the cast is getting small steady bits of work except for Ron Glass (Book), who's pretty much retired, and Sean Maher (Simon) who had a few bit parts on TV but can't catch a break otherwise. And of course Summer Glau (River) was in The Sarah Chronicles as a re-tasked cyborg, besides a few other parts.

    This is my favorite pic of the girls, during a Q&A session at a sci-fi convention:

    Gina never did any such stuff, had enough money and adulation I guess.
