It is a shame the series didn't have a more hospitable environment in which to grow and become all it could have been.There’s not a power in the ‘verse that can stop Firefly fans from loving the space western series. The acting is strong, the writing as excellent, funny and moving as on any Whedon show, and the effects and sets create a consistent, believable world. We are on the side of those who resisted (like the Maqui) and lost. Firefly creates a universe that almost totally opposes that of (that bastion of television sci-fi) Star Trek: its Federation-like central power (the Alliance) is interpreted as being oppressive and dystopic. Technology will be in the hands of a privileged few, and others will in "The Black" - Whedon's frontier third world - where it is possible to exist without the interference (or benefit) of civilization and government. In 500 years mankind will still be its own worst enemy. The villains are not comfortingly dressed as an alien race. It asks its audience to appreciate the shades of grey in its characters' moral scale. The backstage dramatics aside, Firefly is intelligent and, like Buffy, mythic - except this time Whedon is dealing with the myth of America: the Frontier, the Civil War, the rise of the Corporation, etc. Viewers were left wondering, on more than one occasion, when a character would reference something we hadn't seen yet. ![]() This was particularly damaging, as Firefly had a greater sense of ongoing plot than any other Whedon series in its first year. No wonder FOX did everything in its power to kill it off, including airing episodes out of order, skipping weeks after airing only three eps and, inevitably canceling the show without even airing episodes 12, 13 and 14 (out of 15). The series is anti-corporate, anti-government and, while it takes the stand that some things are worth fighting for, it is largely anti-war. ![]() Maybe a little too much today for its own good. In this series Joss Whedon created one of the most realistic post-war visions of the future ever committed to tape, that at the same time spoke about yesterday and today. As with BtVS, the world is divided into people who get Firefly and people who don't. ![]()
