Obsession: Firefly
So I started watching Firefly a few weeks after the premiere, and never really got into it when it was on TV. That’s partly because the network never let Joss Whedon actually present Firefly the way it needed to be presented. And I meant to, but never got around, to buying the DVD set. Then came the movie, which I frankly didn’t see because I hadn’t seen the series. So finally, a few months ago, I used my Amazon gift certificates and bought the series and movie, then wound up lending them to a friend before I saw them, because I was busy working and when I wasn’t, I was watching my Gilmore Girl DVDs. There’s really only room for one TV series at a time.
Once my last job ended, and I had more time on my hands, I retrieved the DVDs from my friend and started watching.
Whoof.
Shoulda done this years ago.
Now I’m all bummed out because there’s only one season to obsess over, and it’s likely there won’t be anything beyond the movie. It really didn’t do that well. And people have moved on.
But there are the episodes. And the soundtrack. I love that music. It keeps playing in my head, especially the cello and violin pieces.
When I try to choose a favorite episode, I’m torn between Out of Gas and Objects in Space. Or Shindig. I really like Shindig.
If you have never seen this show, you are missing a wonderful thing.
