oh my gosh, u have to see it. ummm, i didn't watch it on tv either, even though it was from Joss, i knew a lot of ppl who watched it just cuz it was from him, and i thought it would suck, but then i rented the eps on dvd last yr andi loved it. thank God they put them out on dvd, then i went to that Firefly conventioin thing and met the cast and crew and stuff, including Jasmine from Angel and Caleb on Buffy. ummm it was this sci fi/western show, which was unique.
it was about this rag tag crew who were like ummm well they transported pretty much all kinds of cargo, and it has a lot of Buffy Angel guest ppl on it too, its relaly cool show. great writing, funny, sad, witty, as we've come to expect from our man.
anyways Fox is stupid and cancelled it but it has a huge campaign, and so they're filming the movie version now of hte show, with the show's cast. and the name of the ship was called Serenity so is the name of the movie. if u ever did get Netflix, Lori, u should totally put that on ur list to rent, it had only 15 eps and they only showed like 12 of them on tv. and stupid Fox showed them out of order and not in widescreen, the way they were meant to be seen. later i may find a better analysis of the show from somewhere online that explains it better.
anyways Joss is directing this movie as well as writing it so thats pretty cool, i need to find some pics of the cast and stuff.

k here is the description of the show from Tvtome.com
This new big-budget sci-fi show comes to us from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" creator Joss Whedon. Firefly is set four hundred years from today in the Union of Planets, a government established after a bitter civil war. Under the leadership of Malcolm Reynolds, a renegade who fought against the new government, the crew of the Firefly-class vessel "Serenity" must struggle to survive any way they can. They fly to the border planets to keep away from the Alliance and below it's radar. This series has been described as a "science fiction western" but will be different from other space based shows as it will feature no aliens.
Each of the crew members has a special role. Malcolm Reynolds holds the duty as Captain - he is a defeated soldier who opposed the unification of the planets by the Alliance to no avail. Striving to be normal, he must keep all his crew members on task and have Serenity flying safely. Zoe (aka The Soldier) is extremely loyal to Reynolds as she served with him during the war and owes her life to him. Zoe has the strength and experience to take command of the ship, if necessary. Her husband, Wash is the pilot of the ship and is unassuming, self-deprecating and calm with a sense of humour. The mechanic of the ship is the experienced engineer, Kaylee while the Ambassador is Inara and the Mercenary is the tough, ultimately loyal, and unpleasant Jayne. Simon is the doctor on Serenity and comes from a wealthy family and has a privileged upbringing. His sister, River (aka The Fugitive) is an experienced psychic who can read most minds. And lastly, Book or "The Shepherd", an old and wise priest.
oh btw the show was on in the fall of 2002.

ya, Wash was cool, well they were all were pretty much. ok now u really got me missing Firefly, and its funny cuz the one i was gonna buy it was at that con last yr, but the stupid ppl didn't take credit cards, and how lame is that? u would think if they're selling dvd's they would, but i gues sonly cash or check, and i didn't wanna go and walk and look for a ATM machine, so i just didn't get it. i was so in the Firefly mood that day i totally woulkd have, and it was only $24.99. my fave ep, i forgot the name but its the one with that creepy guy on board, he was totally like the big bad wolf, that ep was wicked, very eerie, very Josslike. and ya we can make a Tru section here actaully, cuz once the dvd's come out i'll be back in the game with that, finally see the eps i missed. ![:)](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/ihateavril2woohoo/Soulless%20Mates/smilies/happy.gif) ok g oing to make TRu section right now...

ya, that is a very good price, but normally its been about $38.99 or so, but they had it that much cheaper cuz it was the convention, and they had Buffy and Angel dvd's for like $34.99 at the con, and s 1 of B was the same as Firefly for $24.99. anyways i wonder what the plotof the movie is gonna be.
