Firefly

Joss Whedon's Firefly is incredible. I have been working on watchign it for weeks but due to my current acheing from the dance last night I have finally sat down to watch hours of it.

As with the rest of Joss Whedon's shows, Firefly is brilliant and it shows his usual theme of the "bad" guys being the protagonists and the "good" guys being the antagonists. It also has a lot of questionable morals.

(summary from IMDB)
"In the far-distant future, Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds is a renegade former brown-coat sergeant, now turned smuggler & rogue, who is the commander of a small spacecraft, with a loyal hand-picked crew made up of the first mate, Zoe Warren; the pilot Hoban "Wash" Washburn; the gung-ho grunt Jayne Cobb; the engineer Kaylee Frye; the fugitives Dr. Simon Tam and his psychic sister River. Together, they travel the far reaches of space in search of food, money, and anything to live on. "

In my opinion, the captain is very annoying but the actor who portrays him is one of those actors whose character I hate but as an actor I love. (Nathon Fillion). Zoe is entertaining but shes not as cool as many of the others. Her husband Wash (Played by Alan Tudyk!!!!!) is hilarious. He is actually my second favorite character. Jayne is the big tough guy of the group. Loves to fight and win. Major jerk-face though. many funny lines. I havent really seen much that fascinates me about the doctor except for the sibling thing with him and his sister River. River is amazing. She still doesnt interact much at the point in the show which I am at but she is brilliant and entertaining anyways. My favorite character is Kaylee. She is the Serenity's mechanic. She is a total tom-boy type but she is still very girly at times. She is funny and smart.

I am currently only on the 4th episode so these are very beginning feelings but I know this show definitely lives up to its internet fame. And proves to me once more that FOX is stupid and should learn what good TV is. (Although they do rock on the "comedy" genre. )
