    Watch and get disappointed it didn’t get renewed or not watch and stay disappointed I didn’t watch

  • +10

    What's the bargain here?

    • +9

      The "free" part I think?

      • +51

        I heard you can stream the 6pm news for free on 7Plus also

        • +28

          Mind if I post that one?

        • +9

          I think the difference here is that Firefly isn't normally available to stream for free?

          On 7plus you can watch it for free whereas on Youtube, Apple TV and Disney+ it will cost you.

      • +1

        7 plus is always free

        • +6

          Firefly isn't always free

          • -1

            @Aus Falcon: Everything on 7 plus is always free.

    • You get frustrated, head to the bar and have 7 pints!. Surely the bar gains from it! 🥸

    • +1

      It’s shiny

  • +3

    It’s on Disney too

    • +12

      You can't sue Disney if you go that route

      • +3

        Disney should be banned from Australia. I've had enough of their crap. One of the nastiest prolific companies

      • It was a stand-alone restaurant within their grounds. I don't blame them for telling the family to go after the restaurant, not them. If you had a cockroach in your Big Mac at Westfield would you go after Macca's or Westfield?

        • +3

          I wouldn't blame Westfield for telling me to sue (insert restaurant of choice here) instead of them.

          But I would take issue with Westfield saying that because I'm a "Westfield Member", I can't sue them and have to take them to arbitration instead.

          This is what the issue was in the case with Disney.

        • +1

          Yeah that's completely irrelevant. The important take away from that incident was the fact they brought up the Disney plus subscription agreements and used it as backup is the disgusting part. Inhuman, personally boycotting them, haven't consumed their stuff in years anywho.

    • +1

      Is Disney+ free?

      • it was last year when Disney+ Turkey cancelled my $30 annual subs 10mths in and refunded it in full ..

        won't surprise me if it happens again.

  • +36

    Even if went for just one season and a movie it was one of the best sci-fi of its time. Classic and a great binge watch.

    • +12

      It's still one of the best written shows ever.

      You know how some shows just have really good acting and writing, so much that the cast feels like people you know in real life? It's one of those rare gems.

      • +5

        Agree - this series was top notch. I'll probably watch it again - I'm curious to see if it has aged well.

        I will say this: I detested the movie ("Serenity"). It seemed a ham-fisted, rushed attempt to finish the story - and once it has been watched you can't "untell" the ending(s) it gave us.

        I wish they had just left it where the series ended: let the audience imagine for themselves how their lives played out.

        btw Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic show that the majority overwhelming disagree with me.

        • +1

          I agree with everything you say - it was a ham-fisted, rushed attempt to finish the story. But it did finish the story, which may be why Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic disagree with you. It may also be some sort of bias (selection or otherwise) on the RT and Metacritic side of things, who knows…

    • How do you set design a sci-fi ‘cat house’ … cover it in aluminium foil.

    • +8

      And? It holds up really well.

    • +6

      Have you looked at current TV series lately?

      • Yes, but we can’t watch repeats, waste of time

        • +1

          My TV watching is currently:

          • King of Queens
          • Everyone Loves Raymond
          • Modern Family
          • Emily in Paris

          The classics are much better than most of the modern garbage. It's also nice to pretend it's still the 90s/00s/10s.

    • +3

      And it's better than 99% of the stuff out there today. Newer is not not always better….in fact these days, it rarely is.

  • +14

    It's not free. There are ads

    • -2

      So does Free to Air TV

      • +4

        And? FTA isn’t a bargain either.

    • +3

      Use the kodi add on for ad free experience

    • Plus you have to also first buy a TV or phone/tablet, have an active internet connection and pay for electricity!!!

      • IKR.

        Don't forget you normally have pay for food to have the energy to watch the damn show! Totally not free!

    • +1

      If you're paying for the ads, you're doing it wrong.

  • +4

    One of my all time favorites. If you haven't seen, watch the first few. You'll be singing the opening song in no time

  • Uuum any ads?

    • +4

      Uuum yes ?

      • +3

        Uuum where’s the bargain?

  • +5

    Amazing series which of course means it was immediately cancelled.

    • +1

      But they got to complete the story with a movie, so it has a proper ending.

      (So it's nothing like Netflix cancelled shows where watching is a waste of time because you're left hanging).

  • +11

    The show was released out of order, at varying timeslots and was cancelled at 14 episodes, despite being fantastic.

    The movie Serenity (2005) helps conclude the show that could have been.

  • +14

    I dont need to watch Firefly for the 10th time.

    I will anyway, but its not because I need to.

  • +14

    Sheldon Cooper : We agree to reserve Friday nights to watch Joss Whedon's brilliant new show Firefly. Leonard : Does that really need to be in the agreement? Sheldon Cooper : We might as well settle it now. It's going to be on for years.

    • i watched that ep just last week

    • +2

      I both laughed and cried at that joke when I first watched that episode. It still kinda hurts actually.

  • +4

    Dont watch this unless you plan on watching Serenity

    The show starts getting really really good (after a slightly slow start) then the show got cancelled and you get no closure

    Serenity ties it off but you feel like the show would of done are more in depth job exploring the characters/lore/universe

  • +3

    Have it on blu ray. Good reminder to rewatch. If you have it blu ray or dvd, there are quite of lot extras worth listening to.

    Also, apparently Joss Whedon had planned on 7 seasons. Shame it never happened.

  • +3

    Shiny…. awesome series at the time

  • +2

    Oh I was just thinking about rewatching this last week but couldn't be bothered digging out a DVD player and the box set so this'll do nicely.

    • -2

      100% Also stop funding Triple J. If you want to listen to terrible pretentious music, find it on Spotify.

      • -5

        I haven’t listened to the radio for even longer than the last time I watched free to air TV… If radio and free to air TV ceased to exist I would care at all, and I don’t think I should continue paying to prop them up for the much lower than 100 percentage of people that still do care about them and want watch and listen to these old school formats… If they can’t survive without my tax funding then too bad sad they should die off, however if they can stand on their own two feet and can be viable on their own then great, if they are able to survive purely from the funds of those that want to watch and listen to their content, then good lucky to them, I still won’t watch or listen though.

      • +4

        Both of you have very limited mindset regarding job creation and arts investment. You may not like what's produced, frankly that doesn't matter.

        Also, only some FTA is subsidised (ABC, SBS)

        JJJ is also the only listenable radio station to me. Not that my personal taste matters either, because again taste is not all that matters.

        • -4

          @justtoreply - I don’t have a limited mindset regarding job creation and the art of film and television and arts investment at all, in fact I would say that I have a much higher appreciation for it than you and the majority people who still watch and heavily rely and free to air TV for their content… I own a physical media collection of over 5000 1080p and 4K Blu-rays, and pay for multiple streaming services, therefore I support the industry and the arts with my money far more than most.

          I would rather my tax dollars fund the arts in other areas and ways, and to help other platforms if I have to contribute with my taxes, than it go towards the relic that is free to air TV. Sport aside, are you disputing that the largest demographic that still watches free to air TV is the boomer generation?

          • @[Deactivated]:

            I would rather my tax dollars fund the arts in other areas and ways

            So you're saying that television and radio are not worthwhile investments for arts funding?

            I'll take the next logical step there and say that you're implying that television and radio are not worthwhile investments?

            are you disputing that the largest demographic that still watches free to air TV is the boomer generation?

            I personally do not watch TV, not because I don't want to but because I don't have the time. And any time I do spend consuming audio-visual media, I don't want to waste time watching ads and not being able to specify what I am watching. This precludes FTA TV.

            Likewise with radio - the biggest opportunity for me to listen to the radio is in the car. Again, having limited time here to consume said media I appreciate the option I have of specifying what I listen to and thus choose to listen to a selection of podcasts on topics I am interested in. It's not because I don't like radio (I do still like to listen to it from time to time), it's that I choose to listen to something else due to the constraints I have.

            I like to believe that a good proportion of post-boomer people are in a similar position - it's not due to a lack of interest or belief in the worthiness of the content, it's just that with the constraints we have we're choosing to watch/listen to media in other formats.

              @Chandler: “So you're saying that television and radio are not worthwhile investments for arts funding?

              I'll take the next logical step there and say that you're implying that television and radio are not worthwhile investments?”

              No that’s not what I was saying at all. I was saying that free to air TV is mostly a dated format that’s really mostly for boomers in 2024 because they’re the ones that still watch it more than any other generation below them, and that I think the money that goes towards it could be much better spent elsewhere to support the arts, rather than continuing to provide funding from tax revenue to keep free to air TV alive so that it basically still exists for a specific demographic who aren’t the future and aren’t too far off leaving the this world.

              You can’t honestly be trying to argue that the majority of what’s on free to air TV is anything of major substance artistically… For the most part free to air TV in 2024 isn’t supporting anything or major substance when it comes to the arts, the majority of Australian content on FTA is mindless reality TV shows, the art of well written Australian content and dramas are essentially a thing of the past on free to air TV.

              The majority of younger generations watch content from various other sources, and don’t watch free to air. Therefore I think the tax funding that they contribute that goes towards free to air should be reduced, and more should go to towards other platforms that are more popular amongst younger generations.

              In my view free to air TV should be reduced to 2
              sports channels, and one channel and one channel only for all other content for those that still rely on this delivery system and want to watch it. There are plenty of other options in 2024 and people that don’t want to watch free to air should no longer be funding it for those that still do. If it needs further funding to survive, then reintroducing a TV license system for those that still want it should be implemented.

              A lot of people that watch the ABC and SBS are pompous individuals, and many of them watch these networks because they think they are more intelligent than they really are. The ABC and SBS have a lot to answer for for the damage they did to Australian society during Covid, and that’s when I made my mind up that they have to go.

      wish the money I pay towards taxes would stop being contributed to funding free to air TV

      I thought only ABC and SBS received government funding?

      • -7

        I don’t watch or care about ABC or SBS, no different to any other free to air TV channel/network, or radio station… I contribute to Government funding of these from my taxes, I don’t care if you’re taxes pay for it if you still want it, I care if my tax dollars do though.

        I own over 5000 1080p and 4K Blu-rays, and pay for multiple streaming service, I have no need and never will have a need for free to air platforms ever again.

          Demonstrates he's not the norm and would like everything to cater to him as an outlier. rollseyes

          • -2

            @justtoreply: The norm in 2024 isn’t the majority/95% of people watching free to TV. My father and his wife are a boomers, they absolutely love all of the boring crap on free to air TV (and refuse to watch streaming services even though I offer them my logins for free, they just claim they don’t like it and don’t take very well to change), and that’s what the taxes of the majority of millennials (which is the generation I belong to) and people younger are paying for when it comes to free to air platforms, to keep it alive for boomers that are used it and still love it. I’m happy to pay for it out of my taxes until mum and dad die because they like it, however I’m not wanting to fund it for you or anyone else.

        ScoMo gave jobkeeper to 7/9/10 and fully bankrolled them during the COVID period.

        Albo continues ScoMo’s tradition on spending a lot of coin on government advertising on 7/9/10 to prop up their businesses.

        The networks also receive government grants to show and promote things like the Paralympics and women’s sport.

      • It depends on who is in power.

        If the liberals are in power, they give out cheques to Foxtel for women's sports that Foxtel didn't even ask for.

      Or watch all 3, trio of the best scifi shows

    • Have to agree. Seen all three and it's only 7/10 for me, with the other 2 10/10. Check out also Pantheon and Invincible on Prime - great shows.

  • Surprised this has not had a reboot attempt by a streaming service

    • +4

      There was talk of a Disney reboot about a year ago but I think that was a lot of speculation based upon Disney getting the rights to it via their 20th Century Fox purchase. If they ever did it wouldn't be the same, in fact it couldn't be. Firefly was a bit of a fluke, Whedon was pretty much at his peak of writing and the cast was spot on. Bit of a perfect storm if you will.

      • If they ever did it wouldn't be the same

        I didn't say it would be good. But I am just surprised the haven't had a crack given the slop they have rebooted.

        I reckon a Buffy reboot would happen before this.

        • Buffy reboot needs to be a spin-off, the next Slayer.

          • @811b11e8: Absolutely. I don't want them to run back the same dialogue with different actors ;)
