Firefly, Again
I watched the last DVD in the series last night. An utterly excellent series: not science fiction for the sake of being sci-fi, but an actual damn-good-series. I’m toying with the idea of sending a set to my dear brother who hates sci-fi (unlike the rest of us, who have our heads securely attached to our shoulders…). It’s a real pity that the networks couldn’t give the show the time it needed. One cannot expect any show to become a hit in 6 episodes: these things take time. How popular was Cheers after its sixth episode? Oh well—I hope that someday the series is properly handled. It’s incredibly good, and I recommend it to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see.
