In the spirit of cross polenating SF fandom, who here has heard of Firefly? Is anyone familiar with it?
I believe I have heard of Firefly once upon a time. Why?
Yep, there's a whole passel o' Firefly folk 'round these parts.
Yep there are, I am a big fan myself and most of my friends are the raving fan types.. we don't all like the same things but almost everyone likes Firefly ! :D
Just stirring up conversation, I guess... on another note, Serenity, the movie based on Firefly, is due out later this year...
Any conjecture on what you'd like to see in it?
Well Joss Whedon has said that the movie will focus on the Reavers. I just hope all the cast return and that there isn't anyone missing inexplicably. Otherwise I expect the movie to be every bit as good and solid as the TV series. Pity the series died so soon -- it held great promise and was probably the best sci-fi show on TV at the time.
Well it appears all the cast did return for the film.. it's a huge chance for all of them to get regular paid work! :D
The Reavers are definatelly cool, but I'd like to see more on those blue hand guys, their weapons have got to be the coolest thing ever!
Yeah...a show that had a lot of potential. Great characters and dialogue.Quote:

Sadly I would agree, but they didn't even air it here till after it got cancelled (I think) and I didn't really watch it till I borrowed the series off a friend (and latterly then boght the DVD series)
has yet to see firefly :|
I always thought Firefly was excellent and after buying the DVD and seeing all the episodes I'm even more disappointed that the series was cancelled. An excellent premise and sparkling dialog where just a part of what made this series work so well. I know it's a huge leap of faith, but if Serenity does well enough, maybe the Sci-Fi Channel might bring it back. One can only hope.
Firefly was/is excellent, the DVDs are better than the TV show was.
I'm so looking forward to having some things cleared up in the movie.

Just read the latest announcement from GAMA Trade Show: Sovereign Press is set to publish and release a Serenity Role Playing Game (based on Joss Whedon's Firefly TV series and upcoming Serenity film) in August of this year.
Hopefully there will be more details to follow.
There was a whole slew of threads on RPG.net a few months ago about this. Actually, I'm surprised you're not up on the details already, REG! ;)Quote:

The game is based entirely on the movie; sorry, no TV show license.
That's about it. :) I personally have no interest in the property so that's where my following the information stops. Most people tend to be pretty suspicious regarding Sov. Press. Quality in the "meh" department.
That and lamenting over how they wish Eden got the license. :)
