'The Message' introduced us to Jayne's hat and is therefore awesome!

FYI! Serenity is available in Netflix's "Watch It Now" group of movies. So you needn't leave the comfort of your couch to get your fix of ALL Firefly and Serenity had to offer!

ARGH! Firefly was AMAZING. I will never watch this show. Simply because I'm *STILL* pissed off.

You can check out Serenity for free from many public libraries - heck, some of them have Firefly too. Librarians must have good taste! ;)

I hate Fox, they had a great show and killed it by putting it on friday night and we all missed out on years of great sci-fi.

What the heck? Have the execs at Fox been smoking crack? What makes them think they can create and promote a sci-fi western successfully this time? Probably the success of the new Star Trek movie this summer gave someone a bright idea... I only hope they treat this potential show better than they did Firefly. Speaking of Joss, is it just me, or is it a crime that the best episode so far of Dollhouse NEVER AIRED ON TV? Epitaph One was brilliant and gives me hope for the new season.

The only reason I'm attempting to watch a series television show on Fox again is Joss Whedon loyalty for Dollhouse and the awesomeness of Glee. I try my hardest to avoid anything they put out.
The awful trashiness of their reality tv and their mishandling of series television makes me hate them with a passion.

Fox must seriously have a grudge against its best SF shows. It also screwed over loyal viewers of Space: Above and Beyond with the same BS of shifting the show so that it was hard to find. I didn't watch Firefly when it aired, mostly because I don't like Westerns, but also because I could never find the damned thing. When the DVDs came out, I did watch it and become a loyal, slavering fan. It's one of the best shows Fox ever aired.

Lezlee, I thought he ripped off parts of "Outlaw Star" for this show, but not that you mention it, yeah, it seems like Joss took the things he liked from both shows and recycled them on to here.

Come to think of it, with regards to Firefly, I think this is one case where the public got it right.

The Show was awesome! Why would fox in their idiocy even think about bringing another show into the light without giving Firefly another chance. Didnt they learn there lesson with family guy? (Not the same) But the fan base ressurected the show. Hey Higher ups, check out sales of dvd's and the Serenity movie. Something should go ding ding, in your well schooled brains that, " I think we have something here with FIREFLY"

you are correct

I'd be happy if they revived the series and did yearly made for TV movies...in the vein of B5 movies, but make that good. :-)

"The Message" was a fantastic episode IMO

Have read the comments for brilliant but cancelled - the shows everyone was whining over makes me wonder if any of you have the least notion of what 'brilliant' means because none of the programs mentioned fit the defination. Good grief, grieving over Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Lame, lame, lame! The most interesting of that program was David Boreanz as Angel, and him in love with Buffy? Come on - that was the most unlikely fit, and shows the acting talent of David Borenz that he could pull off that twosome
without either lauging hysterically or asking for a bucket. There was no brilliance in that show. I am ecstatic that it is gone, and hope to high heaven that particular actress is never to be seen again.

And would like to make a quick comment on HOUSE - it has the most bumbling, stumbling, got to hold-each-other-up set of supposedly best in their profession doctors that I hope never to run into. That anyone would watch this show and call it excellent or even good blows me away. Please, God, keep me and mine safe from such as these doctors forever. Showing the private turmoils of these characters makes no excuse and musters no sympathy whatsoever for being so lousy at their profession. I think this show tries to emphasize the brilliance of these characters by the fact that they can even think of all the possibilities for illnesses of their patients', but it only shows their ignorance and inability to diagnose and press forward to treatment, and how they cannot make a diagnosis without the help of their fellow losers, and even then the diagnosis turns out to be WRONG. They even killed a patient for pete's sake! Please get it off. Or at least someone who is a better actor than Hugh Laurie take over his part. But this show I think is better off being taken out the back door and shot! One of the worst shows on tv anywhere. When is FOX going to admit it. Hey, I have an idea - why don't write to names and plots of possible programs, put them inside a paper bag, and let one year old babies choose which ones are going to be made. Bet you would get far better than the current offerings. Yep - I bet you would.

you are corret

I find it a crazy coincidence that I watched this series again the last two days before I even noticed this article here.

While I agree with the above comments of how insanely amazing and brilliant the show was and how it is ok to be bitter about the cancellation, I also want to point out the shame of lost potential it had.

Sure we got a movie but it didn't do anything for the plotlines they could have explored with the television series. The movie was closure but not enough to answer my questions regarding the little hints to secrets and future plot lines the show had in store for fans.

Such a shame.

I enjoy farting.

Is this new show called Cowboy Bebop?

{only the anime fans get this}

Bring back Firefly! Are you nutts canceling it. The only reason you didn't have great ratings is because most of us that know what it is now, did'nt know it was even out there when you had it on the air! I only learned the show existed after you canceled it. DONT BOTHER making another Firefly style show, we want FIREFLY, it is charactor based and you certainly aren't going to replace Mal or Simon, or River Tam. Bring it back@!

Fox sucks. They consistently mismanage shows, canceling them before they even get started. If it weren't for House and The Simpsons, I'd never watch Fox.

Fringe is pretty spiffy, but I think the foxtards will kill that one too.
