As anyone who has seen an episode of Firefly can tell you. Firefly is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant television series ever created. How else could a television show which only aired for nine episodes, in the wrong order, aired on Friday night, was prempted by baseball, was given little to no marketing, and was pulled from the air so quickly, managed to draw in such a dedicated fan base that the dvds sales numbered among the highest of all time, a major feature film was produced, and the series is still, to this day, the highest rated television series on tv.com three years after the last episode was aired. There's a reason why the feature film based on the franchise has recieved very positive reviews from virtually every major publication, though it's still not nearly as brilliant as the television show. Furthermore, the brilliant characters and the rich universe that the franchise immerses you has so many possibilities for storylines since each new world that the crew manages to find themselves on can very plausibly be like no other world they've been on before. Each could have a wholly distinct ruling body, a very different set of rules and beliefs, and could each expose the audience to a wholly novel experience.

Take it away, sho, begone! It wasn't that good at all. I'd give it a 3 out of 10 as compaired to any other SF TV show that's been produced in the past 25 years.
I love Firefly but how would an on line petition ever bring it back? Its been gone for years. I think you're gonna have to wait decades like Trekkies did for a new series. Or like Battlestar Galactia fans did. The Firefly you love is never coming back.
It took me several episodes to get into it. It is a good show but it's a bit of a mess. It doesn't appear to have had much of a budget and the western theme seemed strange at times but the writing was good and the characters were interesting. It was getting better though and the movie was good. So I would like to have seen more but I'm not expecting to.
Farscape by a huge margin, it had many things going for it that Firefly never did, acting was one, the script writing was also top notch and set design was superior as well. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Online petitions are about as useful as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. No one who actually makes the decisions reads them, and since you can't guarantee all the signatures are real, they have zero credibility. All online petitions do is make the creator and signers of the petition feel "they are doing something" about a cause they hold dear. You'd be better off starting a letter writing campaign among the fans to the network...I hear that's how they brought back "Jericho".
Firefly novel In the meantime, for those who have not heard, fantasy author Steven Brust penned a Firefly novel under the title "My Own Kind of Freedom". David Itzkoff explains for Paper Cuts, a blog for the New York Times: If you're interested, the file is available in PDF, PRC, HTML, and DOC formats: Click Here. I can't tell you much about it, though. I have a copy buried in a stack of manuscript pages by my desk, but I haven't yet read the thing. ____________________ Notes: Itzkoff, David.

Firefly was awesome. The only thing that bothered me was the western looking guns sounding more like lasers, that's one area where they could have just picked an era and stuck with it. Like they did in Serenity.
