Praying for the Second Coming.
To my knowledge, possibly the greatest injustice in TV history was the handling of Firefly, the finest Sci-Fi series ever produced, bar none. Having carefully developed a large ensemble cast of incredibly strong characters with colourful yet secretive pasts, using witty & sharp dialogue and gripping storylines, as well as excellent and realistic sets, special effects and costumes, the show was canned just as it was promising so much.
For those of us across the Atlantic, it was hard to imagine when this series reached our shores, how it had been cancelled Stateside, without even all the episodes being aired. A western in space, surely this should have gone down a storm! Fortunately on our side of the pond, we did get all the episodes screened and were quite bemused how shows like Andromeda or Farscape could survive so long, while a show of this calibre, couldn't get picked up beyond half a season. Word has filtered through and apparently despite Joss Whedon's track record of success with Buffy and Angel, Fox decided to screen the series with no promotion, in a Friday nite death slot, up against the baseball. Surprise, surprise ratings weren't exactly great. If I was American I'd never even have heard of this show (I'd have been watching the sport).
Anyway thank God for the DVD release and excellently done it is too. Great commentaries and bonus material on top of the fact that this is a show you can just watch again and again, make this DVD excellent value for money. The only problem with this DVD is that having watched it and enjoyed it so much, you are left with an unfinished masterpiece. The thought that all the questions that this now cancelled series posed may never be answered, is rather depressing. Here's hoping Joss' plans for a movie or encouraging DVD sales are enough to resurrect Firefly.
Fair dues to you Americans, you sure do know how to put together top quality entertainment. Pity this one, which should of been a flagship example, got canned at infancy.
BTW, to those who recommended Farscape over Firefly is tantamount to recommending Denis Leary as a better stand up comedian than Bill Hicks, no disrespect it's a fine show but we're talking different leagues here.
Firefly Rocks!
This show rocks. I didn't watch while it was on the air, and I am really sorry because it deserves to have ratings and to stay on the air. I have one episode left to watch and then a long dry spell until the movie next year. Someone pick this back up and put it back on the air!
