I don't care if you're a scientist or the captain of a garbage scow assigned to Ruh'ra Pente- you don't wait until your shields are mostly gone to start shooting back. If your enemy has already started hurling subatomic death at you, descression has ceased to be the better part of valor!

I believe I have heard of Firefly once upon a time. Why?
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

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!
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.Originally Posted by Sarge
But I liked it, and said so in front of the TV...that means the little transceiver that sends messages to the suits in Hollywood picked it up. "HE likes it? Kill that mutha!"

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)

A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

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.
Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

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!
It's a new system, supposedly. (No d20 or anything)
The game is based entirely on the movie; sorry, no TV show license.
That's about it.
That and lamenting over how they wish Eden got the license.
