Yep, Firefly is a definite prerequisite. I thought the series started off well, but faltered a bit toward the end. Good premise and dialogue though.

Serenity looks and sounds awesome on HD DVD.

Did anyone see Slither? Nathan Fillion (Mal) plays basically the same character in that, so if you like him in Firefly / Serenity then you'll probably enjoy Slither. I liked the fact that Slither didn't take itself so seriously.
