Hmm.... "Firefly" is sort of the anti-"Star Trek." Much as I intermittently like "Trek," they sure can gunk up the warp engines with the pieties and techno-folderol. The next time the holodeck characters take over the ship we really should unplug the thing. "Firefly," by contrast, is just pure get-it-right in every scene. And when a bad guy deserves to be blown away, he's just blown away. There isn't a huge debate about it in the We've-Got-A-Situation Room. 305594@blogcritics.org Sun, 15 Jan 2006 18:04:41 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/01/13/215623.php#comment-305537 I can't even begin to describe my adoration of this smart, funny, meant-to-be-iconic show. Rent it, buy it, borrow it from someone -- just watch it! And it doesn't matter if you're into sci-fi as long as you're into well-written. 305537@blogcritics.org Sun, 15 Jan 2006 15:17:48 EST
