Discovering Firefly: “Serenity” (The Movie, Not The Pilot Episode) & My Final Thoughts (That’s Not An Episode)

Oh yes, that wonderful feeling when a cancelled series gets a 2nd chance. It usually never happens. Well, it happened to FAMILY GUY. And to JERICHO, even though I don’t know anybody who liked the show, but I guess because one of the AIN’T IT COOL NEWS writers started the campaign, the media attention helped. [...]

Discovering Firefly: Episodes 12, 13 & 14 – “The Message”, “Heart Of Gold” & “Objects In Space”

And my flight through the FIREFLY universe comes to an end. Will the final three episodes reach the quality of ARIEL or even top it, completely blow my mind and get me finally addicted for life? Nah, they didn’t. Woah, 2 people like this post. Like Unlike

Discovering Firefly: Episodes 8, 9,10 & 11 – “Out Of Gas”, “Ariel”, “War Stories”, “Trash”

Seems like I’m almost done with the show. That was quicker than expected. And in its final half, FIREFLY comes up with some seriously strong episodes. OUT OF GAS is not one of them.

Discovering Firefly: Episode 2 – “The Train Job”

So if I get this right, this episode was what FOX originally decided to air as pilot, after they rejected the original one. I’m not saying that they were right when they did that, because you miss out on a whole lot of more or less important background info, if you don’t watch the real [...]

Discovering Firefly: Episode 1 – “Serenity” (Not the movie)

Okay, so there is this science fiction show called FIREFLY. It lasted only 15 episodes and the theatrical movie that came afterwards, wasn’t a record breaker either. That’s okay, I won’t hold it against it. Some of my favourite TV shows and movies were cancelled early or tanked hard at the box office. It also [...]

TV Shows That I Miss: Eerie, Indiana

One of the best memories of my childhood, were those Saturdays in front of a TV. Starting with cartoons at 5am and ending with sitcoms in the afternoon. During the early 90′s, my favourite TV channel for those purposes placed a series at the Saturday noon time slot, that didn’t really fit into any of [...]
