Re: Good wordbuilding, funny dialogue and acting do not an original plot make. Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/05/2010 09:45:02 PM
WHY WAS THIS SHOW CANCELED?! I do not understand how decent shows can and often are canceled, but trash is allowed to continue and multiply on network channels. I'm really sad that the story isn't going to continue.


I liked Firefly, and I think it was cool, but as Cannoli says, Whedon's extended series tend to wobble. Buffy was thematically inconsistent, Angel had a baby and so did Cordelia (Whedon does like his girls to cry, and when they won't he puts them in a coma), Dollhouse - well.

It was a short run, and it was cool, and it stopped before it could get lame or bad or unfunny or before Mal had to save more prostitutes to prove he wasn't being misogynist to Inara or they made River and Jayne make the hot sex in basements while escaping from bug ladies. Enjoy its cool, self-contained perfection, and go watch Serenity to round it off.


Do you really think River and Jayne would have had hot sex in a basement while escaping from bug ladies? It seems so ... wrong.
