Is this worth it?
I like spaceslop and im out of good shows to watch.
Everyone hypes this, but ive avoided it cos its Wedon.
How Wedony precisely is? Now, I can handle some Wedon, I dont mind it, but if its full quipfest with wacky random moments, not sure if I should bother
Also, apparently it got canceled after a season? Is it at least a self contained story that it wont make me mad it got over too soon?
>>
>>219503917
It's like 14 episodes just fucking watch it. Or watch an episode and think for yourself whether you'd want to watch more. Grow the fuck up.

Its a good show, watch it and form your own opinions

Complete waste of time and ugly as fuck to look at

that doesnt say much anymore since /tv/ calls anything they dont like reddit
how tf is this show reddit, theres hardly any science babble in it, its mostly space cowboys doing space pirate shit, and summer Glau and that psychic medium bitch are hot
>>
>>219503917
Memories from watching it more than 10 uears ago: Girls are cute and every character is a bit lame but that's aknowledged. The typical Whedon humor is not very present. It's kinda slow and a bit cheap. Main story is not very engaging. Dropped it after a few episodes.
>>
>>219503917
It's one of my favorite shows of all time. I rewatch it yearly.
>>
>>219503917
I love spaceslop, but I never got it. It's supremely Wedony. The China + wild west concept is retarded, and the lead sucks.
>>
>>219503917
it's your typical group of ragtags in space but some of them are decent actors and the main guy is funny and likeable. it's definitely above average and worth a watch.

the film is also good. probably better than the series given the bigger budget and tighter script. watch it after the series, not before.
>>
>>219507485
you're a retard whose opinion should be taken as that of a retard. retard.

>>219503917
If you watch it make sure yo check the correct episode order on Reddit or something.
>>
>>219503917
Very fun show. Rewatch it every couple years or so. Not a fan of the movie but its not bad, I just don't like what they do with a couple characters. My favorite was the hospital heist episode.

Andromeda has higher highs and lower lows. Same show though.
>>
>>219503917
It's a product of its era. While somwhat new at the time its type of humour is dated and overused these days. Reddit, you might say. It's low budget and it shows. The thing is tgat the show got canned when it was building steam and setting up to something. The hype is more about what the show could have been rather than wha it actually was. Still worth a watch even if you end up not liking it. Watch the show first and if you're curious the film Serenity afterwards which is kinda a retelling of what the original plot was intended and sorta closes things up.

It's a ripoff of cowboy bebop but atleast it was better than the actual live action cowboy bebop.
>>
>>219506069
Aren't the "bad guys" literal insane rapists? Would a reddit show include a faction of rapists who travel the galaxy pilaging and raping?
>>
>>219512158
Outside of being scifi westerns, the two shows have little in common. And Bebop does the space western setting better than Firefly does, which can come off as hokey sometimes.

>>219512515
The Reaver are barely in the show. The Alliance, the government of the setting, are the main antagonist.

>>219509038
Everybody loves mal.
>>
>>219509548
Im sorry but reddit adopted the quirky way whedon characters talks. So technically it is reddit in that everyone started speaking like they were a whedon character.
>>
>>219513324
Yep. It's true that reddit in 2010 was a bunch of nerds who loved Firefly as much as Atheism and Libertarianism so you'd see it quoted and imitated often. But this barely matters in current year because reddit completely shifted it's vibe after 2013 and complemented it's transition to Democrat propaganda tool in 2016. They consider Firefly an outdated piece of Confederate apologia now I'm sure
>>
>>219513407
No they didn't. Giving a guy too much credit in order to criticize him is stupid. He's an influential writer but not actually responsible for a generation of humor.
>>
>>219503917
Real answer here; Its extremely dated and tryhard quirky and low budget and hecking whedonesque dialogue with epicbacon space cowboy plots and freaking awesome sex appeal, but its also pretty good. Its very sincere and well done for what it is. But its also shitty.

>>219513638
Not really no. The Serenity movie looked pretty good. But the actual show looked like if they tried to do Stargate Atlantis with the budget and FX of early SG1.
Also I forgot to mention that the theme song is so awful, it could have been good with another singer but they let a half dead drunk reptile slur all the lyrics because muh western

Watch Stargate instead and than me later

I remember there were 2 duds, but most of the episodes are bangers. Yes it's worth it

The good stuff happens later
>>
The episode where they murder the father in cold blood who refuses to abandon his kid and doesn't want his only son to grow up to be a drug addicted child prostitute living in a whore house was terrible. The rest were good tho.
>>
A young Christina Hendricks is in a few episodes, and she shows a lot of skin in her first appearance.
>>
>>219518399
yeah I was surprised to see Mal execute that guy. using the severed head to play space basketball was even worse, this show sucks
>>
>>219519646
He just stood around in watched as the father was on his knees begging to see his child
>>
>>219519800
he got to see the kid. he never said "don't kill me"
>>
>>219503917
Its not that great in all honesty other shows and even anime do space western better
>How Wedony precisely is?
Not really that Wedony but its there its more quirky with the Chinese swears
I would recommend Farscape over Firefly, overall Firefly is a 4/10 its was okay

How do you ignore that the protag is a Confederate solider who is unapologetic in his views. Even if they only get away from it by being it being "states rights" in universe but come on that whistle is loud enough for anyone to hear.
>>
>>219503917
What exactly is "reddit" about the show?
>>
yes /thread
>>
>>219503917
It's good, the pilot will give you enough to decide for yourself anyway
It's pretty tame with the sci fi elements actually, think of a modernized western with comedy elements and space ships, eventually dumb stuff like ninjas
But it knows to be very fun and grounded as well, nathan fillion specially is great in this
>>
>>219516431
Starts as a borefest and is consistent about it until the very end
>>
>>219503917
Its a great show killed by a bitch executive that was shitcanned not long after.

>>219520913
a completely different show
both are good

i remember it being fun but it's not memorable to me like other scifi series (trek, babylon5, stargate)
granted they had much longer runs

Yeah, it's one of those shows that Fox put on the air for a season and dicked around and then cancelled.

LITERALLY rips off Mass Effect beat for beat, but without the cool aliens
>>
>>219503917
Its very zesty
>>
>>219523526
Yeah, the Browncoats and the Independents are unambiguously supposed to represent the Confederacy. The show is about a Confederate veteran moving west because he can't make peace with the Union. It's a western in space. Classically, Mal would eventually and finally be cornered and shot down by the Union, see RDR1 also, but they might have played with or inverted the trope.

The show's themes and message are anti-r*ddit, people just get confused because the characters talk like r*dditors. But as other anons mentioned itt, it's because r*dditors adopted Whedon-speak and not vice versa. It was also a more common speech pattern at the time and was not considered as cringe as it is today.
>>
>>219525130
Man fox really went above and beyond with cancelling it's space shows in one season.
>>
>>219525477
Mass Effect ripped of Bab5. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>
>>219523526
Does that make "The Pax" social media and the Reavers are NPCs?
>>
>>219515609
i've tried to watch this twice. got filtered in season 1 both times, it's not exactly bad but it just feels kind of worthless. massive wasted potential

>>219503917
it was alright
not very memorable, tho
having jut recently wathced it, I still can't really remember what happened in it

>>219503917
It's a show that got cancelled after a single season that had the added fuck you of the original pilot episode airing as the series finale (Fox famously made Whedon film a second pilot that was the first broadcast episode).

Firefly is your prototype "decent first season that had potential" type show. It had its bad moments but also it's good moments and the fact that the show got prematurely cancelled and screwed by the network preserved it in amber as "brilliant but prematurely cancelled"..... Until the Firefly movie Serenity pretty much killed the franchise DOA.
>>
>>219539296
I liked it, am not into shows that overstay their welcome, they had a premise wrapped up the story with the movie and even made some comics for people that wanted to see what happened later

They had a window to make this show be as good as it is and took it, Whedon was fresh and loaded from buffy and angel, their actors weren't the mega stars they are now

>>219503917
