stone and a hard place Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 anyone for Firefly? You know, I've tried to watch that show several times and I couldn't get into it. I really like Nathan Fillion too. We just finished watching it for about the 4th time through with my 15 year old--I really enjoy the show. Plausable--probably not.

Crimsonmistymemory Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Both. Soylent Trek. What do you think the food replicator on the Enterprise uses for base material? They convert subatomic particles, so I would assume they wouldn't need something large like a human body. and the federation of planets always tells the truth. Can you imagine Charlton Heston running around the deck of the enterprise screaming his famous line from soylent green? :dweez: He would definitely use a few Shatnerian pauses while doing it. Replicated particles, are, people!Dr. Maccoy would second that!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip the train robber(2) episode until the very end--it's my least favorite and seems forced.....also watch the movie 'serinity' after...it helps with the empty feeling you get when it dawns on you the best sci-fi tv show in a long time was canceled after 1/2 a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched the movie but it probably didn't make as much sense to me as it would if I was more familiar with the series. The train robber episode is where I quit watching. Good to know that it wasn't one of the best ones. I'll skip that and go to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Firefly: they shot a two hour premiere episode, late in the game FOX decided it wanted to premiere with a one hour episode to introduce the show, hense we got Train Job. I watched it and bailed. A few years later on a whim I picked up the DVD set to rent. Watched the two hour premiere episode and was hooked, I even really enjoyed Train Job the second time around. It is very good once you are introduced to the characters and the universe. Pick up the DVD set or stream the episodes in order that is how to watch it. After all that then watch the feature film Serenity, which oddly is the same name of the two hour premiere episode as well. I got so hooked I bought 2 DVD sets, one for me and one to loan out creating new Browncoats. One of the best damn single season shows ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the network want Captain Mal to be more jolly or some such crap plus a 1 hour premire? I always end up falling asleep during that episode.

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I picked these 2 scenarios due to their far opposites of the spectrum. I also think the Cooporate society of the original Rollerball is an interim possibility between these.Dude I just bought that...James Caan--a colossal waste of talent.

laughedatbytime Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Given that the most trending hashtag on Twitter right now is #100dayssinceZaynleft, I think the best we can hope for is a bifurcated future on planets containing intelligent life vs pop culture slaves.
