Firefly/Serenity Thread
Spent the last two months or so finishing the series. Currently watching Serenity.
Is it just me or is the series extremely overhyped? Don't get me wrong, it was a clever show and I really enjoyed it, but there was nothing overly fantastic about it, at least in my mind.
I am fond of the characters and their dynamics with one another, and I only wonder how they might of developed if given the chance for a second and maybe even third season.
Oddly enough I watched serenity when it came out back in '05 and I thought it was pretty good, so watching the series was kind of neat in prequel form.
So, opinions?

While I certainly agree that the hype is a bit high for it, I still say Firefly was one of the better sci-fi series I've seen. Characters were great, the universe was pretty cool, and the action hit the right chord between sci-fi and western (two genres that I do enjoy quite a bit). Going back to the topic of hype, I'm pretty sure most of it comes from how prematurely the series ended. Sure, it may not be that remarkable of a series when one steps back, but the fact that it ended before fans had the chance to get tired of it really fanned the flames that made it such a big deal in the sci-fi community. All in all, really fun series made by a very talented director.
