Default Re: S: AaB vs Firefly

To be fair, I saw very little of S:AaB... but I guess that's kind of telling. When I did see it, it didn't grab me at all. I completely agree with you, Taranis, that it seemed very dark. I like the "gritty" more than "polished" look when it comes to sci-fi, but S:AaB just seemed... blah.

My first exposure to Firefly was actually catching a fragment of "Serenity" near the end. It tuned in just as <spoiler> <spoiler>ed, and then the epic <spoiler> where <spoiler> totally <spoiler>ed those <spoiler>s! I couldn't look away! ... And couldn't, for the life of me, figure out who these people were and what the hell they were doing...

Curiosity got the best of me and last year I picked up the Firefly series and Serenity on Blu-Ray. My wife and I finished the series and the movie in two sittings, I think. Every episode got better and better. I'm very depressed that that show didn't make it further.
