FEB

2008

One of the best SF series ever, along with Battlestar Galactica (the new incarnation) & Star Trek (original & Next Generation). That being said, Firefly had something none of the others possessed...a genuine ability to tell a great story without relying on robots or aliens. No wonder it never found a niche...network TV had no idea what to do with it! It had a core cast of genuinely likeable characters who didn't always like (or trust) each other but who managed to come together to pursue a common goal. Loved Mal, Kaylee, Book & Jane. While River & Simon were fascinating, they were not my favorites. That honor would have to go to Wash & Zoe. Imagine, a happily married couple who really loved & respected each other! And again, represented on network TV! Who'da thunk it?
