You are the head of a major network: Firefly vs the new Battlestar Galactica

[mhacdebhandia]

Loving Firefly as I do, I would vote for it . . . except that I haven't seen Battlestar Galactica.

I suspect that it would not live up to my standards for "depressing" or "cynical" entertainment, knowing Americans as I do.

bsg. Bigger and better and a little meater. Plus Firefly still needs work (maybe if got a second series and most bugs iron out). The characters on Fly just don't seem to be jelly for me. maybe more episodes of firefly may can my opinion since I caught most of them on Friday night.

Sighs. Star Trek.

Sorry, either both or Star Trek.

This is not even a contest to my mind.

I find Firefly to be a muddle, a confused idea that never gelled, an odd view of the "world" (galaxy) that made little sense; Battlestar Galactica, conversely, is taught, well-scripted, frightening, intriguing, and nervewracking. One I watch, the other I do not.

Personal tastes, obviously.

Ditto.

Sighs. Star Trek.

Sorry, either both or Star Trek.

Futurama!

It's like you are standing in line at McDonalds and the guy keeps asking you what you want and all you keep saying is, "Hot Dogs."

"But sir..."

"No, just hot dogs."

Well sometimes you walk into the wrong place and it takes you a while to figure it out.

Battlestar Galactica of the two. Firefly was too spotty, and it probably was because of the network airing them out of order. Far better actors in it.
Is Serenity even out yet? I'm doubtful that the movie will hold up as a feature film.
Still, I would like to go back and watch all of Firefly, in order, to see if there is something I missed from the few eps I did catch.

First off I fire the vice president most likely to try to take my job and hire a masseuse instead. Then I build a statue of Whedon in the boardroom.

After years of abusing the money that comes with the job I retire in the hills of Italy.

For safety's sake I keep the reigning Capo's phone number on speed-dial.

Oh, I know what I want from McDonald's. Fries and Whopper.
