I just wanted to say that I'm currently watching Firefly for the first time and I'm thrilled ! I'm not a huge fan of space operas or westerns so I wasn't expecting much, but this show is so much more ! I can't believe it has been canceled so soon, damn Fox ! If the series had run for seven years... how great that would have been !
I'm torn apart between the rush to watch every episode, read every comics and watch the film very quickly and the sadness to know that the discovery is already nearly finished... I hope a lot of comics will see the light to explore every backstory.
Did I mentioned I love this show ?

Glad you're liking it! I'm not a fan of space operas or westerns either, but the characters on the show are just amazing, the brilliant writing doesn't hurt either. Let us know what you think when you're done with Serenity! I'd love to hear what you thought of the whole thing.

The words "wasn't expecting much" should never be used in the same sentence as something Joss-related.  |

Watch it all and read every comic and descent interview as fast as you can and just have a completely brilliant Firefly/Serenity weekend, it is a brilliant show and the comics are good to, if you've not read any of the comics yet the order to watch/read everything is 1) Firefly Tv Series 2) Serenity: Those Left Behind 3) Serenity: Better Days 4) Serenity Movie There is also another Serenity comic coming out at the end of the year, detailing most of Shepard Books little secrets. It's called "A Shepard Tale" and I think it takes place after Serenity: Better Days but I'm not 100% sure.  |

I haven't read Better Days yet because I'm waiting for the TPB, but doesn't it take place before Those Left Behind? |

Yes, I thought Better Days was before Those Left Behind. Thank you anyway Whedon Fan ! I've found the comics on the net to be able to read them soon (there are 2 episodes left for me), then I'll buy the TPBs. I can't wait to discover Shepard Books' secrets !

I'm done with the series and comics, there's only the movie left for me... What Fox has done with Firefly is for sure the hugest waste on TV history. I hope we're gonna learn more about Inara one day, because I love this character and it seems she's got her secrets too... God, why don't they make seasons 3, 4, and so on on comics, so Joss can tell us the story as it was originally planned to be told ? If the show hadn't been canceled, season 6 would be about to air... I know what I say is pointless but this waste makes me so mad !
By the way, can you believe Firefly hasn"t even been released on DVD in France ?

That's it, I watched and read everything. It's all so great, and what a waste ! I was sure Zoe or Wash were going to die, they were happy together ! But I'd like to know what plans were had the show gone on. Were Book and Wash going to die ? What would the real origin of the Reavers be ? I would like Joss to tell us what main seasons storyline would have been.

I friggin' love this story!! The 'verse, the characters, the big bads...all of it. I have been a Buffy fan for years and years, and only recently got to see Firefly ad Serenity, and I am so impressed with the story that I am reluctant but happy to say that I think the characters are better than any others Joss & Co. have created. I really REALLY love this story. I hope we get to see more and more and more from the Serenity gang.
