Yep. Since I was going through them all to catch up for the new season, it was a double shock. I think I missed some of the back and forth due to that. I think they threw in a Buffy joke as well, though I never watched that series. I'll have to rewatch the episode, it was pretty good all around. And I'm generally not a fan of cop dramas. "Vampire Weekend" is the name of the ep, which like I said is #6 in season 2.
I just finished my rewatch, again, last night. It has the same effect on me everytime; wanting to see more. It is such a travesty that this show got canceled without giving it a chance. Their universe seemed so interesting and well worth exploring even further. It was refreshing not having an alien of the week, over the top and unrealistic space battles, and a believable human future. Perhaps, someday, someone will get the idea to remake this series. However, it probably wouldn't be the same without the original cast of characters.
^I honestly thought, while watching it recently, that it HAD to be cancelled. There was no way something this good could last. Of course, I did notice that the show was actually getting better towards the end, but I try to push that out of my mind.
Just watching the epic mini-series Gettysburg, based on the Killer Angels which inspired Joss to write Firefly. Hard not to be moved by it, especially the ending, in a war which pitches brother against brother it ends with the Chmaberlain brothers finding each other having survived the chaos of battle and embracing
I have it on DVD, and Gettysburg is an unbelievable piece of work! If I wasn't so biased, I might even admit that it is better than firefly I didn't know it was originally meant to be a miniseries. No wonder it's so long! In the future, will people be similarly confused by the nBSG miniseries? Where did you hear that Joss was inspired by Gettysburg to make firefly?
