Just bought the FireFly box set last week and finished watching the last episode last night. I'm hugely impressed and severely pissed off. I've never seen a show that has 9 characters that have distinct, are three dimensional and actually likable. There isn't a thing about this show that I don't like! At this point I'd say that "Ariel" is my favourite episode, but I've always been a sucker for heist movies. ;o) Followed closely by "Out Of Gas" if only for the flashback of how Jane joined the crew. My favourite moment though has to be at the end of "Train Job" where Mr. Evil henchman gets kicked through the engine, classic! Then there's the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" moment in "Serenity Part-2", another great cliche dodging moment! Some other random plus points:- Bad guys can shoot straight and the heros get hurt, often and quite severly. I think by the end of it everyone on the crew had had some kind of serious injury or another. The continuity from one episode to the next flows wonderfully from one episode to the next without becoming a soap-opera. I could go on about this show all day!
