I love Firefly, but I want it to stay dead. It had a good run, and I have no faith in it being revived in a way that'd live up to its legacy. Besides, its legacy is MAINLY that of an unfairly cancelled series beloved by its fans. If it went on a bit longer, petered out and then got cancelled without fanfare, not provoking grand gestures and big campaigns to revive it, it wouldn't be NEARLY as present in collective memory as it is.
EDIT: I mean, if it ever got a reboot or whatever, I wouldn't be a hater. I just wouldn't care enough to watch it, probably. People who hate on things just because they are not "for them" are assholes, and I wouldn't be one.
But my general point stays.

Back in grad school, one of my roommates accidentally swapped his Firefly DVD with my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy DVD. I've never watched the Firefly DVD (never got interested in it enough to bother). But I'm disappointed in myself for never making a backup of that Hitchhiker's Guide DVD (though I suppose these days I can probably find it on a streaming service other than the one I have an account for).
Please, I just want my chickens DVD back.

Loving Millefeuille in the last frame.

I've never watched it, though. I have watched (the first 15 minutes of) Serenity (2005), which I later learned was related to Firefly, but didn't find anything appealing in it.

I love the scene where he's eating meat flavor `food.' Like it would be fraudulent to just say meat. And that he ``couldn't enjoy it any more, ma,'' affecting yummy noises, against the suggestion to ``put it on a plate, son; you'll enjoy it more.''

I have to agree with you. I recently ran across some video that claimed it was "After Trek". Basically an attempt at dragging out the series, with all-new actors (using the same names) in continuing adventues. It's one of the most painful things I've ever watched. And yet I keep watching the blasted thing, I guess hoping they'll get a handle on it and suck less.
