Firefly

How better to start my blog, than to talk about Firefly - Episode 1, Serenity. Hands down, this is my favorite of the Firefly episodes. The writing is phenomenal. The characters are unique and the actors play them to the tips of their toes. I quickly fell in love with each of them - faults and strengths. The plot unfolds at a steady pace that drew me in and kept me riveted.

I cannot believe that Fox made Whedon write a new episode as pilot. I can't think of any other show with a more appropriate pilot than Serenity was for Firefly. The only one that comes close is miniseries that opened the door for a new Battlestar Galactica series.

The whole Firefly incident has to be the biggest blunder for the execs at Fox. And still they continue to underestimate Browncoats everywhere.
