Update: I am revising my plan to watch as the episodes aired, and instead am going to watch them as they should have aired. I will be starting with the 90 minute pilot, Serenity.
23 years ago today Firefly premiered with the Train Job, although the episode was released out of order. Episode 11, Serenity, was the actual first episode of the series.
As I have not watched the show in years, I decided it is time to watch again.
Didn’t even know this show existed until my friend, back at uni, lent me Serenity (movie) and told me, “just watch it”.
Dammit if that wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever watched in this verse.
When I returned it, he told me, now watch the show. “There’s a show?!”
A show which fox canceled. Curse them and their sudden but inevitable betrayal!
In case you guys were unaware, there are books, too. I’ve only been able to find one (Firefly - Big Damn Hero), but it was spectacular!
There are several comic series too.
