Collected Thoughts

I'm going to have to watch Firefly again before I can really think about it in depth, but overall I really liked it. But--it's a Western! In Space! Two great tastes that taste great together. I love Westerns, I love space shows and I get both in one! It lacks an essential "snap" but hopefully that will be in the next episode. Also the actor playing Mal (the captian) delivered some lines just a little too lowkey, just shy of deadpan.

As not to spoil anyone I'll cut away. I loved the ending, where Mal just kicks the henchman into the afterburner and then starts his speil on the next guy. Mal and the crew (except maybe Jayne) definitly have their own set of morals---stealing is okay, but not from people who really need the medicine, and oh! If you don't do what we'll just kick you into the afterburner.

The Alliance kind of reminded me of the Empire (from Star Wars) I think it was the grey uniforms. I got a combo vibe of Dru & Fred off River. I want to know more about the companion, like what she's doing on the ship, she has a shuttle. Over all I liked the way it looked, Western and lived in and not sterile. Farscape had the same look. I'm too used to Star Trek's shiny surfaces.
