A TV show that Fox, in their wickedness, cancelled after only ten or so episodes. Think Star Wars, but instead of the Young Farmboy Hero, the story focuses on a smuggling crew, led by a man who fought (and lost) against the Evil Galactic Empire. Also, the planets are all Wild West themed. Good humor, suspenseful plots (mostly-- except for the purely fun ones), and really interesting characters.
Discuss. If you haven't seen it, go watch it, and then discuss. ^_^

=D I saw it on Hulu, so it's on my to-watch list. Sadly my to-watch list is extensive, but hopefully I can fit it in soon... Dang, I had so much time, I should have done it tonight. </3

Browncoats represent...! Or something.
Yeah, I've watched it. XD It's one of the very few sci-fi series that I've really liked, along with Farscape and Blake's 7. All of which are incidentally very dystopic.
I also blame Firefly (in the most affectionate way possible) for my revived interest in Western settings. >_> That and the Wild ARMs series.

BROWNCOAT AND PROUD.  Seriously, Firefly is one of the few things that can turn me into a shameless manic fangirl. ^_^ And the best part is, ALL the characters are fun, well-developed, and chock full of witty banter--something that makes the show a million times better than the average. FOX was insane to cancel this beauty. |

FOX is insane in general. *nod*
It should be noted the above poster introduced me to Firefly. XD Thanks, Tas. ^_^

Indeed. Stupid Fox.
Good job, Tas, introducing Xic to Firefly. XD And agreed, this is... well, the only TV show ever that I absolutely love. I've seen every single episode at least twice (I saw them, then introduced it to my immediate family, then introduced it to my neighbor family), and never ever minded the repeats.
I asked for a Browncoat shirt for Christmas, but didn't get it. I did get a poster of all the planets, though. =D
Also, out of curiosity, who are you all's favorite characters? I like Kaylee a lot, since she seems like a nice person. Simon grew on me through the series, for sarcastic commentary. And of course Mal is amazing.

It should be noted that I love all the characters tons and the cast would lessen in awesome if any of them were to go away.
That being said, it's probably a tie between Kaylee and Wash for my personal favorites. XDD Though River is up there too for her brilliantly crazy not-quite-nonsequitors. Also, she can kill you with her brain.

Oh yes, I was taken loving all the cast for granted. XD They are all amazing.
Yeah, River grew on me too as the series went on... largely because of that quote. XD

Watching-in-progress (I'm up to 'Out of Gas') and already in love with this show. <3 Oh and don't ask me who my favourite characters all are, they are all so cool in their own way.
As for the show itself, it is witty and memorable, which really great characters and a nice setting. Oh and that catchy opening song. (It will never leave you!!) I've never been into Westerns a lot and most of the sci-fi I like is very dystopian so this is something new for me.
Not a Browncoat at this very moment though, more like a maroon colour. x3

=D Of course you are already in love. <3 I was deeply in love by episode 4.
Yes, that opening song does tend to stick in your head. XD
And in a only-slightly-related note: What's-his-face who plays Wash is in the latest Direct TV commercial. XD

Yeeeey I just watched the pilot with my friend Rachel.  We're both addicted now. I can see why practically everyone on the internets has been telling me to watch this. XD (Seriously, four years since I first found out about it and I'm finally starting to watch it...) |

... Yes, the fact that everyone's been telling you this for FOUR YEARS might be a good sign. XD Yay, another convert!
