Firefly on SciFi!

[Firia]

Firefly is coming to the SciFi channel soon. I saw a commercial while waiting for the premier of BattleStar Galactica tonight (hawt! ^_^). Of course, this all after the fact that a friend is borrowing the [complete] season 1 dvd set for my roomie to burn a copy of which allowed me to watch em.

I'd say that Firefly, for me, ranks almost as high as BSG in enjoyment. Very good show. ^_^ Now I see why, even in death, it's so ravishly popular. Who knows, perhaps after the movie it'll spark enough popularity to warrent a revival? ^_^

(Phew, lightly toasted. Had me a couple Mikes Hard Lemonaids durring BSG)

A) OMG Fira is back!
B) How is Battlestar Galactica?
C) Yay, I get to see Firefly *ducks!*

Hoodyhoo for Firefly! The more exposure it gets the better.

The new BSG is EXCELLENT... although for completely different reasons than why the original was excellent.

I loved the original because it was focused on characters, and the actors that portrayed those characters were fantastic.

I really dig the new one because of the stories, however the characters / actors just don't have the magic of the original. That and, well, I'll never forgive them for what they've done with Boomer.

I am totaly pissed at Tarryk for bringing up this series. Not because it is bad but because I fell into his trap of watching the series and being left wanting more.

but, it is a good series.

We've got a quick Battlestar Galactica: Season One (U.K. Version) update for you as well. The set is now available exclusively at Best Buy as of this morning. Keep in mind, however, that the only extra on the set is some 40 minutes of deleted scenes. If you can wait a couple of months, a much more elaborate release is coming from Universal (on 9/20) with significantly more bonus content (including featurettes, audio commentaries, etc). The 9/20 release will also be widely available in stores. Frankly, there are only TWO real reasons that some of you might want to purchase the U.K. version. First, it features the episodes as seen on Sky One in the U.K., which means that the opening title sequence for each episode is somewhat different than what viewers saw on SciFi here in the States. Second, the Best Buy-exclusive set includes a bonus disc that features a 13-minute preview of Joss Whedon's upcoming Serenity feature film. The preview featurette is in full frame only, and sadly it doesn't include the theatrical trailer for the film (which has recently begun appearing in theaters), but if you're a Firefly fan, that might be enough reason alone for you to want to get your hands on the set.

Sorry Tarryk if I just cost you money

In september, the USA version is coming out. A 5 disk set with disk One being the much-needed Miniseries that sets up the whole series (think, 3 hour first episode), whereas the UK best Buy release will not include it. Also, the opening sequence will be the US version, so it'll be cool.

I've heard that the UK BSG disks have bunk for special features. I hope they fix that by time the US version hits shelves. Cause I'm waiting for that one. Rawr. ^_^

BSG remains my fav, period. Firefly was neato, and AS much fun as BSG. But BSG brings everything I want in a show to my lips, whereas Firefly was just good ol' fun. ^_^
