"So I'm About To Watch Firefly For The First Time" or "Seil Has Never Seen Firefly"

Seil · 07-17-2014, 07:27 PM

So here's the deal; I've never seen Firefly.

I was late to Game Of Thrones... and Doctor Who, and Sherlock. So am I setting myself up for the whole "Oh cool, Direwolves! I hope nothing bad happens to them!" "Oh, Neddard Stark is totally rad! I hope nothing bad happens to him!" "Oh, Sherlock is super duper! I hope he doesn't get a nasty fall!"

It's Joss Whedon, Seil. Of course it won't end well.

Seil · 07-17-2014, 08:54 PM

What's the Alliance?

Arhra · 07-17-2014, 08:56 PM

The winners, the ones who wrote the history books.

Seil · 07-17-2014, 09:03 PM

Dinosaurs in space? Is this going to be more Doctor Who?

The government style is exactly as oppressive as you'd imagine the elites in those countries would be generations from now.

...That's pretty much the Alliance in a (incredibly oversimplified) nutshell. Fast forward many more generations and eventually you'll see a new underclass of the disenfranchised in the new system try and fight back.

Isn't this basically the opening narration of every episode?

So who are all these people? A space prostitute, a super chipper lady, War veterans, stereotypically angry burly guy, dinosaur man, priest, cockney clown, and well dressed business guy?

Disgusting.
