Firefly

<< < (8/10) > >>

LeeC:
He created an interesting Sci-Fi universe, why not expand on it with new ideas from new story tellers?

hedgie:
Totally.  Firefly took Roddenberry’s “Wagon Train to the stars” concept and just ran with it, and did quite well.  Good writers and cast could do an amazing job.

snubnose:
Err ... the strength of Firefly is in its dialogues and characters and scenes. For example when that big guy starts yelling threads while still being bound and Mal goes all "oh okay, you're hopeless" and kicks him right into the turbine. Thats just so funny. Thats like the scene on Indiana Jones when the guy with the sword makes a lot of show with his sword skills ... and Indie just shoots him.

If you think about it, much of Firefly doesnt make too much sense. Why are there so many planets, all successfully terraformed, how would that ever work. These planets must be damn close to each other to be all in the habitable zone. Or do they each have their own star ? But that would be a ***load of stars that would be necessary. Why is every planet like a Star Trek planet, with only a single kind of climate.

Doesnt really matter. I think its a genius show and I wished they wouldnt have gotten shut down after just half a season.

hedgie:
The “Single Biome Planet” may be a side-effect of the terraforming, or at least when it’s being done on the cheap, like in the outlying regions. 

Is it cold in here?:
If memory serves they were all orbiting one really bright star, and those have wide habitable zones. They also terraformed a bunch of moons.
