04/25/2005: "Firefly"

I finally got my Firefly DVDs back (from the person I loaned them to) and so I’m watching the series again from start to finish for something like the fourth time.

This show is so good! I still find it unbelievable that I didn’t watch a single episode of it while it was on television. I blame the marketing people for that. Hello, I’m the target audience, I love the show and would have watched it. But I only vaguely remember seeing an ad for it, and even then I remember thinking “a science fiction western…I don’t think so.”

Here’s the theme from the opening credits:

Take my love.
Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free.
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out
to the black.
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea.
You can't take the sky from me.

Have no place I can be
Since I found Serenity.
But you can't take the sky from me.
-by Joss Whedon

I can hardly wait for the movie to come out in the fall.

I hope this show will finally get the success it deserves.
