BSG vs. Firefly
The short answer: FIREFLY
I grew up watching the original BSG, as a kid my hole family would stretch out on the living room floor and have a living room picnic dinner when ever BSG or one of the movies were on. It was a fun, adventure flick that you could also laugh with. Well this new serious 'drama' version of BSG just doesn't fit for me. All of my favorite characters are switched around...hell Starbuck is a chick!! The show is just frustrating...all the tense situations. To be honest I feel a little um..well dirty after feeling what the crew is going through. And I admit anyshow that makes me feel is worth the time..and I also admit I've watch most every episode. But in short, it's not as enjoyable as Firefly.
Firefly on the other hand is fun...yeah the humor is dark, but you always feel that hope is there and things will turn out alright. The idea of mixing SCI FI, with WESTERN is great, I mean what other great frontier is out there for mankind? The entire idea of having small struggling colonies on the edge of known space makes perfect sence to me. The idea that those outlaying colonies would want independence...and how a horrible civil war would effect everything..again it makes sence.
I know the original post said we can't include 'Serenity' yet, but seeing as I caugh a sneek preview of it last night, I'm gonna. Not that it would of changed my view though...just helped to confirm I'd made the right decision. Once everyone has a chance to see the movie I don't know how anyone could not agree with me.
