It's airing in Australia now (didn't think it would make it since it was cancelled; considering the fact that it's on at 12am I guess it may as well not have).Watched the DVDs in one sitting - and I'm glad I did. A good dose of humour, action and character development. It's a bloody shame that it got cancelled, and I'm very much hoping that it gets box office success so that more tv series are made.As for Sci-Fi/Westerns - not huge on either. The only Star Trek I watched was the original. Didn't watch B5, Farscape etc. But this show struck a chord with me. It was like a book where I wanted to see what happens next. I wanted to know more about the characters. Particularly the Shepard after the encounter with the bounty hunter in the last episode. I knew there was something about him from the beginning, and was waiting for the other shoe to drop throughout the entire thing. I was pretty steamed that I might not find out what was going on there when the final episode finished.I think the best thing about Firefly was that they were more concerned with themselves and their survival over any moralistic b/s (mostly - train robbery the exception). If you crossed them you got kicked into an engine intake, potentially ejected from an airlock etc. It had a 'dark' undercurrent which came off almost like anti-heroism. It was a refreshing change of pace from the usual Good Guys vs Bad Guys that seems to run at the core of most other tv shows.</blockquote>
