Totally nerdy-Firefly post-10 years too late

Ok, so I love Nathan Fillion. Castle is my favorite show. I was recently convinced by a friend of mine to watch the short-lived Firefly season. I am not a fan of sci-fi other than the X-Files. Never watched Star Trek, have never seen the Star Wars movies. But I watched Firefly, and Oh My Gosh! It was fantastic. No aliens, brilliant writing, funny, and kick *kitten*. I can't believe Fox let this get cancelled all those years back!
I know this a totally random post, but I had to say that. I guess people were just not smart enough to appreciate good TV. I mean, Jersey Shore went on for how many seasons??? I feel so cheated now!

Firefly should NEVER have been cancelled.

Browncoats Unite! (Someone had to do it.)0

Hahaha! I know, it never should have been cancelled! People have no taste (or intelligence). I feel like I need to go back and watch the early Castle episodes to get all the references I missed. I'm going to watch Serenity tonight, even though I know I will not like what happens to some of the characters. It's killing me not knowing the Shepherd's back story.0

Oh I love that movie, even if it's sad!!0 -
Joss did work with a comic illustrator and some others to create "The Shepherd's Tale" graphic novel. That has Shepard's back story according to Joss.0

Thanks to Netflix, I too, heart Firefly.0

I, too, was late to the beauty that was Firefly!! So much greatness!! I have been on a rewatch lately and am always struck by how good it is.

I LOVED Firefly. Really don't understand why it was cancelled.
Don't feel too bad about the late-love. I didn't give the 2004 Battlestar Gallactica (w/ Edward Olmos) a chance until late last year and I'm kind of glad. I knew when it would be over (which helps ease the pain) and didn't have to wait and wait for the next episode to come out. Imagine if you were totally enthralled with Firefly, waiting for the next season to come out, only to hear it was cancelled. Heart. Crushing. Much better this way.0 -

Sorry, couldn't resist.0 -

I am way overdue for a rewatch of this. Time to dust off my DVDs!0

Everybody loves Firefly. I'm hoping that Netflix will pick it up again, like they did Arrested Development...and that it wouldn't be as **** as that was.0

I love(d) Firefly.
Why, you may ask?
For introducing me to Christina Hendricks.
Yes. Yes, I would.0 -
Love it! I watched Serenity on Netflix before I knew there was a series. I loved it so much, I watched the entire series in one weekend.0
-
I can only imagine the pain! I had seen "Hearts of Gold" on Sci Fi before starting the DVD series. I thought I had 2 episodes left to watch but then realized I only had one since I had seen this one and was heartbroken! I almost had a panic attack watching the last one. So... Many... Unanswered... Questions...
I can definitely see the problem with people seeing them in an order other than what Whedon intended (like Fox did). I am amazed at the thoroughness (??) of thought he put into this and you can tell the actors loved it. You really shouldn't mess with genius.0 -
Thinking of Firefly takes me to my happy place...0

Hi!
I started using the MFP app two weeks ago and I was browsing the message boards because I haven't used them and I saw this so naturally I couldn't just not comment on a Nathan Fillion post!! I love him! It was heartbreaking when Firefly was cancelled. Now I love Castle and waiting for the season premiere is killing me!!0 -
No shame love. I have the series and Serenity on DVD. Might have to get in the rewatching spirit this weekend. And so what you didn't get to watch on tv and rage when it got cancelled, you found it and loved it so yay, shiny. Always fun to find other fans!0

Welcome to the madness that is spending every waking minute wishing for more Firefly episodes, cursing the film, and wanting to do naughty things to... okay, let's be honest, the entire cast.0 -
I heart anything Joss Whedon. Even my daughter is sort of named after him. He is brilliant. ♥0
-
I watched and loved serenity on NF. Canceled my NF account a while back, had no idea there was a series called firefly... very intriguing!0
-
Yes! I too watched Serenity on a whim and then found the series. Alas, why cant this one be brought back in some form on Netflix, SyFy or some other channel or outlet.0

No one dislikes Firefly. Everyone either loves it or hasn't seen it yet.0

Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!
Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.
Our Jayne saw the mudders’ backs breakin’.
He saw the mudders’ lament.
And he saw the Magistrate takin’
every dollar and leavin’ five cents.
So he said: “You can’t do that to my people.”
said “You can’t crush them under your heel.”
So Jayne strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everythin’ Boss Higgins had to steal.
Oh, He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.
Now here is what separates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jayne
he turned ’round his plane
and let that money hit sky.
He dropped it onto our houses
he dropped it into our yards.
The man they called Jayne
he stole away our pain
and headed out for the stars!
Here we go!
He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain’t hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne…0
