Description:
Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

Amazon.com:
As the 2005 theatrical release of Serenity made clear, Firefly was a science fiction concept that deserved a second chance. Devoted fans (or "Browncoats") knew it all along, and with this well-packaged DVD set, those who missed the show's original broadcasts can see what they missed. Creator Joss Whedon's ambitious science-fiction Western (Whedon's third series after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel) was canceled after only 11 of these 14 episodes had aired on the Fox network, but history has proven that its demise was woefully premature. Whedon's generic hybrid got off to a shaky start when network executives demanded an action-packed one-hour premiere ("The Train Job"); in hindsight the intended two-hour pilot (also titled "Serenity," and oddly enough, the final episode aired) provides a better introduction to the show's concept and splendid ensemble cast. Obsessive fans can debate the quirky logic of combining spaceships with direct parallels to frontier America (it's 500 years in the future, and embattled humankind has expanded into the galaxy, where undeveloped "outer rim" planets struggle with the equivalent of Old West accommodations), but Whedon and his gifted co-writers and directors make it work, at least well enough to fashion a credible context from the incongruous culture-clashing of past, present, and future technologies, along with a polyglot language (the result of two dominant superpowers) that combines English with an abundance of Chinese slang.

What makes it work is Whedon's delightfully well-chosen cast and their nine well-developed characters--a typically Whedon-esque extended family--each providing a unique perspective on their adventures aboard Serenity, the junky but beloved "Firefly-class" starship they call home. As a veteran of the disadvantaged Independent faction's war against the all-powerful planetary Alliance (think of it as Underdogs vs. Overlords), Serenity captain Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) leads his compact crew on a quest for survival. They're renegades with an amoral agenda, taking any job that pays well, but Firefly's complex tapestry of right and wrong (and peace vs. violence) is richer and deeper than it first appears. Tantalizing clues about Blue Sun (an insidious mega-corporation with a mysteriously evil agenda), its ties to the Alliance, and the traumatizing use of Serenity's resident stowaway (Summer Glau) as a guinea pig in the development of advanced warfare were clear indications Firefly was heading for exciting revelations that were precluded by the series' cancellation. Fortunately, the big-screen Serenity (which can be enjoyed independently of the series) ensured that Whedon's wild extraterrestrial west had not seen its final sunset. Its very existence confirms that these 14 episodes (and enjoyable bonus features) will endure as irrefutable proof Fox made a glaring mistake in canceling the series. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What if Han Solo ran Star Wars?
I missed this show when it was (briefly) on Fox. Big mistake. But I thought "An on board prostitute? AND a preacher? And a doctor in space? Sounds stupid." Like I said, big mistake.

I encountered "Firefly" again a few years later when I read a news article on the web about the "Browncoats" in Boston having a Firefly festival or something. I don't remember the specifics, but I was so intrigued by the song they were singing about the "Hero of Canton" that I wanted to check it out. ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Series!!!!!
This is one of the VERY BEST sci-fi series in a long time!! Great characters, good story lines, and a solid cast. I loved every episode!!! I only wish they had done more seasons!!! You will not be disappointed. A great series to watch.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An amazing sci-fi western
Firefly is amazing. The story, the characters, the fact that space has no sound effects! I absolutely love this series. I only heard about it after it was cancelled (Go Fox, for cancelling another terrific show), saw the movie and instantly fell in love. Trust the multiple-thousand other people who love this show and get it!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sci-fi at its best.
Plainly put, this is one of the genre's greatest works. I have watched the entire series with my girlfriend at least five times, and have watched it without her at least a couple more. Needless to say I am in love with the perfectly matched cast, directing, and writing. When prompted in the past, the best concise description I can muster for Firefly is "cowboys in space", but it is so much more. I quickly fell in love with the individual characters. The reality of living in space is made believable ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brown as coats can be.
So. With some of the ridiculous /fei hua/ that Fox puts on TV... Right. Nevermind. And, even so-- the /marketing/, I'd never even /heard/ of this series before. Being the utter /geek/ that I am, I would have watched it. /Hardcore./ Now, I have to watch these 14-- albeit /wonderful/-- episodes over and over and... /over/ again. Being bored tripped me into Serenity. On PVP. I watched it. Loved it. /Loved it./ And then, out of some twist of serendipity, my mother discovered an episode on Sci-Fi. ... Read More
