You proudly admit that you've never seen Firefly.....




My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

As with so many other things that men of taste, refinement, and distinction share, 'geek, I have never seen Firefly either.

That's ok, Windi.  I have lots of company.  I mean, if Firefly was such a great show, it would still be on tv, right?

I'll take some heat for y'all. 

I tried watching Firefly and didn't like it.  It was more like a post US Civil War western than sci-fi.  Turned me off.

That being said, I loved Serenity and have watched it many times.

I think you're all missing the point. The character and quality of the writing, dialogue, and acting are what made it great, not the sci-fi setting mixed with Western themes. That's merely a backdrop.

It's lie watching B5 and saying you didn't care for it because you don't like CGI space stations.

Not necessarily, as a show with a modicum of intelligence and infused with rural common-sense and southern social grace', it has to go head to head against the virtuoso icons of American culture like Dancing with the Stars and The Bachelor

The geek is strong here :)

I'll join along with getting poo-poo'ed by Windy. 

I also never watched Firefly much, probably was busy watching other stuff at the time.  I did watch Serenity with a friend (without having watched much of the tv series), and I didn't get it much - although I loved most of the cast (I do follow Nathan Filion regularly on Castle, and nice to see Baccarin continued a good career track afterwards). That being said, I'll probably download it or check it out on tv reruns when I get some time.

Becoming CAG of Pegasus was actually a big plot point.  ;)

For as long as the Pegasus continued in the fleet. ;) Two eps? And a small part of a movie?

Her commission must have lasted longer than that, of course, but since it was connected to a plot element quickly written out (as it had to be), I simply didn't recall it.

My mind does not understand how to reconcile those two things...  :o

To be fair, depending on how much I didn't like CGI space stations, I wouldn't have gotten much out of B5 or DS9. (For example, I can't stand medical dramas, and so never got much out of House, even though I can recognize and respect its quality.)
