But FOX aired it out of order, the two-hour pilot aired halfway through the season, even the flashback heavy episode aired before the pilot.<br /><br />But, when i got it on DVD and watched again with the episodes in proper order, it really worked for me. so maybe you didn't miss as much as you think missing it when it aired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-1846096323230096932010-05-20T08:16:27.767-06:002010-05-20T08:16:27.767-06:00BarkingAlien: I, too, am curious.

I'm guessing you mean the cool Traveller aliens, jump-drive, explosion-filled starship battles, spaceports, high technology ... but i'm curious to know what else you feel is missing from Firefly that would make it a truer Traveller series.<br /><br />Ze bulette: I agree. I'm not quite there yet.<br /><br />JB: how cool is that, to have a firefly-themed coffee shop nearby!<br /><br />Jay: enjoy. considering your affection for sci-fi, you took your sweet time getting around to this! :D<br /><br />Trey: agreed!<br /><br />Risus: my wife loved Buffy, but I came to it too late, and so felt like a bit of an outsider.Aaron E.

But when I watched the series on DVD, I fell in love. To this date, it's my favorite space-related sci-fi show ever. I totally agree that it's the closest thing to Traveller ever put on film.<br /><br />I love those deck plans but I'm too cheap to spring for them. :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635116929490398699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-17746961565654243062010-05-20T04:26:52.088-06:002010-05-20T04:26:52.088-06:00Firefly is indeed cool.

Disk 2 arrived today! I'd caught only one episode when it aired and then--of course with all things that are good in the cosmos--it was striken from existence. <br /><br />Go Netflix!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997164906328234122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891509519427970698.post-33781930502929834032010-05-19T23:45:56.539-06:002010-05-19T23:45:56.539-06:00I AM a Firefly connoisseur, but I'm too cheap ...I AM a Firefly connoisseur, but I'm too cheap to spring for this...hopefully, I'll be able to read it some day down at the Wayward Coffee House (a Firefly themed coffee shop across the street from my local game shop).<br /><br />@ Pal: I love this kind of thing as well, which makes it all the more frustrating that I'm so artistically inept (especially at mapping/drafting).
