Firefly


Every once in a while, there's a show that comes along that is just so magnificent you can't possibly comprehend how it ended so soon. And by every once in a while, I mean WHY DID FIREFLY END?!?!?


Firefly is a tv show that combines two unlikely genres - sci-fi and western. And it's done beautifully. I mean, watching this show, I can't imagine a more frontier-like space. It feels used and gritty and ancient. Wonderful setting. The plot follows the crew of a Firefly ship as they travel in space. Oh, and if you've ever heard the term 'browncoats', it's from this show.

The thing that makes this show is the characters. Joss Whedon has always made exceptional characters, but Firefly works. They are all opposites of each other, but they get along. The relationship between them all is fascinating. Shiny.

Wash, tell me I'm pretty.

The show is short, only 14 episodes, so there's no excuse not to watch it. Plus, Kaylee is awesome.
