Firefly

[Truth Seeker]

The DVD set really is worth buying though. (I bought 2 one for my self and one to send to my friend in Iraq, I understand it was a big hit over there.)

As for the piracy thing, whatever, I find the preachiness about it more annoying then the theft itself.

Where is the church?

1. You have a track record of putting your foot in your mouth, and then trying to dig your way out of the hole you put yourself in. I never said you had a track record about pirating stuff.

2. Yes, you do know exactly what I think of you. I have not forgotten the remarks you made about the hurricane that hit the Outer Banks a few years ago, telling me that it wasn't a disaster and that my family and friends had nothing to be crying about. Yes, yes, you know EXACTLY what I think of you.

Your post appeared to have insuinuated that I had a track record pirating, cause it said nothing about my quality to put my foot in my mouth.

And ya'know. I'm sorry for whatever it is I said a few years ago that pissed you off or hurt you, but frankly I'm not that person anymore. I'm sorry you see things that way. Holding a grudge aint too healthy.

It's defiitely a cumulative thing. I was one of the many who only caught bits of it and was underwhelmed. But when I watched it from the beginning (starting with the actual pilot), by episode 4 or so I was hooked, and by episode 6 or 7 I was convinced it was one of the best shows ever.

It is a character-based show, not a plot-based show. As such, catching bits here and there won't suck you in. Getting to know the crew, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they inter-relate... that's what makes the show.

Sorry dude. I was just trying to give you a hard time. I didn't expect quite such a vicious response.

I recall the good old days of pre-millennial internet when sites would proclaim that it was legal to download MP3s for evaluation purposes, as long as you deleted them within 24 hours. I never found out whether that was true. Anyone know?

But yes, Firefly is good. Firefly is great. Let us thank it for our food. Amen.

Ok ... not to add fire to an already heated discussion ... (and I'm sure this
Q had it's own thread in the past) ...

but, what's so special about Firefly ?

Not a sarcastic question --- I haven't watched it yet and have only
caught pieces of it on SciFi <i> in medias res </i>, but the fragments
didn't grab me.

I *don't* mean this to be a flame-bait/troll question ... why do
you love Firefly?

thanks!

The story, the interaction of the characters. The style its told in. The whole package. It has some sort of energy that draws you in. Each episode reveals a lil more backround about the characters and their story.

I'm a sap for stuff like this.

I gotta stick up for BK here.

The main reason is because there's talk about the d&d movie right over there....

you know, the movie that hasn't been offically released yet?

which means that EVERYONE who admitted to already watching it is a pirate?

And I didn't see anyone get the type of reaction that Arthur just got.

So yeah, there some definite singling out going on here.

I thought EN World was supposed to be the friendly messageboard?
This thread would severely disillusion me if I wasn't already the cynic who hits the politeness thread and points out that most peoples politeness is just a lie they tell themselves.

And just for my own curiosity, if someone misses an episode of a tv show, and they download it instead of waiting a year for the dvd-set, are they also gonna get yelled at?
Is it better for them to just stop watching the show altogether because they've missed something important, than to download the one episode and watch it?

I'm curious as to the answer that question will receive.

Oh yeah, and Firefly rules.
Shame on all of you who waited this long to watch it and still haven't seen the movie.

Which is another question, after the movie comes out, and I watched the series when it originally aired on TV, bought the DVD, spread the word and recruited others to watch the DVD, then they buy their own DVDs and recruit even more, and I paid to see the movie in May, and I'll pay again in September, and I'll buy the DVD the day it comes out... can i download it in the middle?

I mean Joss told me in his pre-recorded pre-preview message that its MY movie.
(And if it sucks, its my fault) so doesn't that give me permission to download it?

Isn't that because a lot of the people who saw it did so at an authorized pre-screening at GenCon?

I don't know, but I thought that was the case, which would be a huge difference...

Thanks Steve, you da man.

As far as i know, the screening at GenCon wasn't the whole movie.
Re-read the threads about the movie, people specifically mention there's pirated copies and others that they have JUST watched the movie. (long after gencon)
