Firefly revolutionized the sci Fi genre for this generation, it changed the way we view science fiction. Dialogue, plot and filmography set a new standard, and character development have scarcely been captured the way it has here. Ideas and innovation used in the making of Firefly have been recreated for almost every sci Fi movie since 2005, the new Star trek launch, new star wars films and countless more have used Firefly and serenity as inspiration. Fox will forever be criticized for closing this show down before the end of the first season, if you haven't yet experienced this series and you love sci Fi, Western culture, or good stories, you need to visit firefly

How did I miss this series when it premiered on TV? It was my loss and now I'm very glad that I took the chance on buying this series. I'm a person who likes "Original Stories", ones that create new places, characters and new ideas. While I do love Sci-Fi, So much is just a repeat of an older idea or series. All the 'Stars' (trek, wars, gates) were great in their original conception, but the spin offs all lacked the imagination that made the base/original series so enjoyable. The series Firefly is a whole new look on the future (wiki the name and you'll get the 'lowdown' on the series) and I admit it took me half way through the first pilot 'Serenity' to absorb what was being told to me but once I got enough of the plot to understand the 'universe' that was being described, it's been a fantastic ride since. The characters grew on me rather quickly (all of the actors whom I recognize from other great shows)and I really enjoyed the characters and their lives which were so detailed; like a new friend who you've hung out with for a year only to learn something new about what makes them the person they are today. I also like the fact that there weren't a lot of "aliens" strewn about for special effects sake. It is a human drama with characters rich and diverse; don't need a lot of fancy costumes or FX for that eh? Sadly I can say that my only disappointment in the series is that it is only one season. What an addition it would have been to have 7 seasons of this to add to my DVD/Blu library. Since there is only the one, I'll treasure it and keep it and hope one day someone gets the bright idea that this should be continued!!!Read full review
I came upon the Firefly series by chance 7 or so years ago and liked it a lot right from the start. Funny, real, gritty, great character development and dialog. The Scifi special effects part of it is really just a very cool backdrop for the stories and characters. I Love this show... maybe the finest sci-fi series I have seen. AND, the movie "Serenity" is just sooo fine. I wish there would be another movie.

The characters are so developed and easy to identify with, and along with the offbeat sense of humor it is engrossing as it is entertaining. The slightly western framed space saga adds a distinctive touch and the casting is near perfect. There is good continuity from episode one to the last episode and if there is any fault to be spoken of it would be that there wasn't 140 more episodes. Me and mine, will certainly watch this again and again.

If you have watched Firefly, you know how good this series is and owe it to yourself to get it on Bluray. If you don't know Firefly, treat yourself to this amazing show. But, I'm here to review the Bluray discs, not to sell the show. The case advertises 3 never before aired episodes. These did not air on Fox when the show was broadcast, but you have already seen them if you have watched the discs before (on Netflix or iTunes, for example). I had seen the episodes before in regular definition and Bluray offers such a vast improvement upon that. The visuals are fantastic, as expected. More surprising to me was how much of a difference the audio made. It is so much more clear that I heard lines in every episode that I missed when viewing the regular DVD's. This Bluray package takes a series that is wonderful because of its characters and story-telling and immerses you in their universe.Read full review
