Firefly - The Complete Series

Pros: Wonderful Unique Show by Joss Whedon. Great characters and stories.

Cons: Show was cancelled before it really had a chance.

The Bottom Line: Firefly - The Complete Series on DVD is a wonderful, must own set for fans of the much too short tv show.

Review: 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...

The Bottom Line: Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me...

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Firefly was just too good for television.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: Well worth the price of admission, this is a great DVD series to own, that really shows what science fiction originality should look like.

Review: 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: Superior storytelling, well-developed characters, rich themes, and great dialogue

Cons: Cancelled way, way too early

The Bottom Line: I cannot think of a single show (not even my rose-colored memories of Remington Steele or Knight Rider) that surpasses this one in quality and sheer delight.

Review: I have to admit that when it comes to television, I’m a pretty hard sell. It’s not that I’m anti-television, it’s just that I’m pro- so many other things, that it is difficult to convince me that I should give up one of my other ...

Pros: The remarkably interesting concept, story, characters, dialog

Cons: Unfinished business, unanswered questions from premature cancellation. Fie on Fox Network!

The Bottom Line: This is a great way to spend of few hours watching the tube! Never soporific, and pretty interesting. A couple of "new" episodes that never aired!

Review: I have just watched this 4 disc DVD release twice, straight through. And I was never bored. The reasons are many, and I’ll 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: Cast, storylines, action, premise...

Cons: None... seriously, none.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend viewing this series, preferably before seeing Serenity

Review: 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: 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.

The Bottom Line: Firefly is a funny and suspenseful TV series with very memorable characters. I would recommend it to anyone, even those who usually don't enjoy science fiction.

Review: 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

The Bottom Line: This is the best science fiction program in a decade. Worth the watching.

Review: 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.

The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line thinks Kaylee is shiny.

Review: 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 ...
