Title: We don't need another Star Wars movie
Post by: TinkTanker on December 20, 2012, 10:14:27 AM
"Firefly" was about outlaw Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (played by the great Nathan Fillion, who often brings to mind a 20 percent more sincere Bruce Campbell) and his crew, who have a series of adventures on desolate, frontier-like planets while attempting to outpace the sinister government that controls the galaxy. It is important to note that it is impossible to recount the plot of nearly any science fiction endeavor without making it sound wildly hokey. It's all in the execution with these things, and "Firefly" was hilarious, smart and surprisingly emotionally resonant for a show about cowboys in space. (The scene where Mal remembers when he first saw his ship is a real tear-jerker.) In a perfect world, this thing would have run for six seasons, and there would be so many sequels to the attendant film spinoff, "Serenity," that we would almost be sick of them. (This is the same alternate world where the Replacements were the most popular American rock band of all time and Conan O'Brien still hosted "The Tonight Show.")

That was another one of those shows Summer Glau killed, right?
