300

Firefly is an American space western television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon, under his Mutant Enemy Productions label. Whedon served as executive producer, along with Tim Minear.
The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".The show explores the lives of some people who fought on the losing side of a civil war and others who now make a living on the outskirts of society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today.

    • Can't wait till Sep for the BD to come out, specially at this price but I'll add it to the post for people caring about High Def Firefly

  • It's been said before: "For a universe that's supposed to be half Chinese, Firefly sure doesn't have any Asians."

    • Prolly cause the one child policy succeeded and they decayed to just the one half breed?

      Regardless, awesome show and would recommend it to anyone (along with the movie several people aren't even aware exist).

          do not forget 2 episodes which starred Christina Hendricks….

        • Yep, I should give myself an uppercut for forgetting that luscious curvy goodness! ;)

          You gotta hand it to Joss Whedon - the man knows how to cast good looking people in his shows :D

      A relevant recent @alatudyk tweet:

      cowboys and aliens is okay for a space western but suffers from a painful lack of chinese

  • People still buy dvds? Great series, shame it only lasted 1 season

    • +1

      not everyone can afford bluray players + added cost of blurays. I know quite a few students who don't even have proper dvd players and get by using laptops as the monitor and dvd player( or most of them pirate)

    • You mean 2 seasons and a movie? Still ended too early though…

      • I think he means 1 season and a movie - unless you have access to some extra episodes, and if so, we want them!

        • Actually, half a season and a movie.

          The original run was cancelled mid-season, I think.

      • d'oh - I was so drunk when I watched it looked like 2 seasons…

  • awsome awsome show - so wish they had kept going with it

    • This show along with other promising ones in the same era (i.e Tru Calling, Dead Like Me) were victims of the rise of reality T.V in the early 2000s.

  • Well with series like these I create XviD files anyway, hate changing media, so DVD is fine

    • +2

      XviD? Low quality, big file size. Use Handbrake to encode H.264. Much better quality and compression rate.

  • Bought this years ago at JB Hi-fi for $15 or $20. Still a bargain at this price!
