Firefly was a Sci-fi series on fox, where the ships (and communication) were fast, but not faster than light. there were three main regions, the inner planets (think Star Trek) The Frontier( Wild West with Space ships) and the border areas that was a mix of both.

Does anyone remember it, What did you like about it.

It was a pretty cool show, but at the time, Joss Whedon (the show's creator) was busy having all of his other shows canceled,so I guess they just figured "why not?" It seems that most good shows get canned after only a few episodes lately.

yup after the show was canceled there was a ton of outcry about it so they made the flick. I enjoyed both the series and the show. The capt was also in a movie called slither which has the same feel........sorta

I missed it on Fox, but a friend recommended it, and I found it cheap on Amazon.

The series is only 13 episodes (including 2 that never aired). They're also in the proper order, instead of how Fox aired them.

Serenity was the movie that came after.

Space cowboys and a cute Canadian? I was all over that. Got the box set and everything. LOVED IT!
The movie Serenity kinda finished off where they had cancelled the series. Damn shame to have cancelled it really.

My favorite parts of the show were:

that while they traveled from planet to planet, it wasn't faster than light.

Kaylee (the Mechanic) Cute, competent, and funny.

Wash (the pilot) If I were in space, this is what I would be doing, although I would have stuffed Pokemon, not dinosaurs.

They didn't always win, but the did keep flying (until the network pulled the plug, that is).

The Hero of Canton

The man they call Jayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breaking
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw the magistrate taking
Every dollar and leaving five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"
He said "You can't crush 'em under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit the sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And headed out for the stars

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!

Firefly was a fantastic series! The only sci-fi program (to my knowledge) that had the balls to show that there's no sound in space (for some reason that always stuck with me).

Why the hell did it get cancelled?? mad

Fox played the episodes out of order.

Fox didn't "get" it. They are in the future and space, why were the planets so low tech (cowboys and horses, etc). (HINT HINT: Fox execs, watch the show and it is explained completely.)

Fox moved the show from one time slot to another, so it was hard to catch it every week.

Fox put Firefly up against well established shows instead of into wide open time slots so it could develop a following.

Fox need their collective heads examining.

The whole storyline about River just got going and they END it??!! Fools frustrated
