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

[Navior]

Without hesitation, my vote goes to Firefly. An utterly brilliant series lost before its time. Serenity is the only movie this year I've been looking forward to seeing.

As for Battlestar, I've never understood the praise it gets. I just don't like it. The acting is very good, but even the best actors can't save utterly uninteresting characters and dull scripts. There's a lot of atmosphere in the series, but no real substance behind it. Admittedly, I've never seen later episodes as I stopped watching after about the third or fourth episode. I'm also very hard to please. The list of science fiction shows from the last few years that I have actually liked is pretty small: Doctor Who, Firefly, Farscape, and Angel pretty much make up the entire list.

Just one step closer to ousting Rick Berman and become the head of Star Trek franchise. Commence evil laughter.

I'm pretty sure SOMEONE is laughing right now due to the axing of "Enterprise."

Oh, ENTERPRISE is coming back, under my new leadership and new executive producers, Manny Coto and Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens.

All I gotta do is wait for Threshold to suck ... so I can cancel it!

Laugh with me, mojo1701, laugh with me!

Which just goes to show how different tastes can be, since I like the rest of those shows but consider the new Dr. Who to be some of the worst television I've seen. Ever.

Different strokes, clearly.

I gotta go with Firefly.

And that' not just because I haven't seen season 1 of BSG yet. I've enjoyed what I've seen of season 2 so far. I just love Firefly

Firefly, because Joss Wheton is a GOD.

well, at least he writes some of the best dialogue on TV. FF is realy the only show I'm watching at the moment, everything else on is just crappy.


I tried watching BSG, honestly I did, but the show just wore on me after a while... so I took a break... and now have no idea whats going on.

Firefly, because Joss Wheton is a GOD.

At least spell the god's name right. It's Whedon.

For a moment there, I thought you're morphing Joss with Wil Wheaton.

Firefly. As much as I love BSG, Firefly simply has more good characters, and the good characters are better than the ones on BSG. Here's a comparison.

Awesome characters on BSG:

The President
Adama (both of them)
Starbuck

That's pretty much it. Those are the characters I love. Now for Firefly:

Mal
Kaylee
Jayne
River
Book
Wash
Badger
Jubal Early (I know he was a 1-shot, but that's okay, he was awesome)

See the problem? Firefly is better because the characters are better, or, at least, more entertaining. Thus, Firefly gets my vote.

 

[Staffan]

That's pretty much it. Those are the characters I love. Now for Firefly:

Mal

River
Book
Wash
Badger
Jubal Early (I know he was a 1-shot, but that's okay, he was awesome)

No love for Zoë or Inara, eh?

There's absolutley no question in my mind: BSG would get the axe, that Firefly might live again.
