Pros: Wonderful Unique Show by Joss Whedon. Great characters and stories. Cons: Show was cancelled before it really had a chance.
I first heard about writer/director Joss Whedon in connection with the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was the summer of 2002 before I really started to watch the reruns of the show and I was quickly hooked. That fall, Whedon’s new ...
Pros: Two genres are freshened up in one series, great characters, new situations... Cons: 15 episodes wasn't enough for the network to save it...
Cowboys, outlaws, preachers and hookers: all of the elements of the Old West that made it "Wild." All of these plus horses, pioneers, and savages are all present in spades in Joss Whedon's big failure, "Firefly." A true Western set in outer space, it ...
Pros: Cast, sets, effects, dialogue, stories, everything Cons: It ends too soon and leaves too many questions unanswered
Firefly was a short-lived dream project from writer/director Joss Whedon. He’s the man behind the two hit television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. With the success of those shows, Fox studios wanted another hit series out of ...
Pros: very inventive story, great cast, impressive special effects, lots of fun Cons: it got cancelled
Back in 2002, FOX tried to bring an original show to the air in the form of Firefly. Based some five-hundred years in the future, it focused on a ship of outcasts who flew about the galaxy trying to avoid both sides of the law. They fly aboard a ...
Pros: terrific characters, unique concept Cons: occasionally smutty and violent, seems a little down on religion
This past Christmas, my brother Benjamin gave me two DVD boxed sets. One was season four of LOST, my favorite TV show. The other was Firefly, the short-lived ...
Pros: Superior storytelling, well-developed characters, rich themes, and great dialogue Cons: Cancelled way, way too early
I have to admit that when it comes to television, Im a pretty hard sell. Its not that Im anti-television, its just that Im pro- so many other things, that it is difficult to convince me that I should give up one of my other ...
This past year, the boy bought me the Firefly series for my birthday, seeing as we already own every other Joss Whedon-created show. Knowing that the series was cancelled, we let it sit around for a while before starting it. Silly, silly ...
Pros: The remarkably interesting concept, story, characters, dialog Cons: Unfinished business, unanswered questions from premature cancellation. Fie on Fox Network!
I have just watched this 4 disc DVD release twice, straight through. And I was never bored. The reasons are many, and Ill give you a few of them. Those of you already enthralled by the series, (you know who you are!), won't need to read this ...
Pros: Joss Whedon's trademark wit and characterization. Great cast. Episodes shown in original order. Cons: It's only 15 episodes, but blame FOX for that.
I've never been more happy that I never saw a show during it's original broadcast. Firefly was a quality show from the creative mind of Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel). Unfortunately, FOX decided to screw around with the show by airing ...
Pros: Six star television all the way. Cons: It died of abuse by the network
Firefly: The Complete Series (2002) By Joss Whedon. Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell 'em I ain't comin' back ...
Pros: Fantastic scripts and an extremely tight story that moves well from episode to episode. Cons: Fox hasn't decided to resume the series.
I never got into Angel or Buffy but when Joss Whedon mixed Sci-Fi with Old West and English with Mandarin I was hooked. Firefly's eclectic environment, engaging characters, and amazing writing all come together to, surprisingly for ...
Pros: Good script, great characters, originality Cons: Don't show this to elderly Chinese, they might get offended by the language
Sci-fi series today are about as predictable as daytime soap operas. Running the gamut from the formulaic script involving human-alien wars to the nameless guy who dies from a seemingly harmless console explosion. Then there is Firefly, which I ...
Pros: Great writing, creative, cast, presentation, western theme works well Cons: Most won't get the western theme, some bad dialog, not every episode is golden
I'm not the biggest sci-fi fan. I can't sit through an entire episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation even though I do appreciate it and everything it represents. Though I love quite a few sci-fi movies, the TV shows don't usually grab me as ...
Pros: Excellent acting, Good character development, Intriguing "Universe" Cons: Takes serious investment of faith in Joss Whedon, Simplification of Special Effects.
Once upon a time, there was a show by Joss Whedon on the Fox network. Fox did not promote it and soon it was canceled. Fans of Joss Whedon's work were sad. But then, television shows on DVD became the highest grossing entertainment source in the ...
It was sad that this show got the boot. I’ve never seen so much space western comical drama in my life. It’s a very unique and very character driven show where you find yourself welding shot guns, walking in dusty western towns, and traveling through ...
