I'll get the first episode of Firefly from Netflix, there is also an episode showing Sat. evening in HD on DirecTv. A bit off the subject, but I have been reading the Harry Potter novels for the first time (finishing book 4 today). So I've decided to get the series of movies and watch them along with reading the books (books first of course). The family watched the first movie last night and I was suprised on how much we all liked it, the kids were to young to see them when they came out, but now loved our first venture into the Harry Potter films. 
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

If the Firefly series is better then Serenity, which I didn't particularly care for, then I might have to give it a chance. The movie just seemed sloppy to me.
Well, the show was somewhat sloppy, too, but I think that was a deliberate stylistic choice. When I first watched the movie I didn't know much about it and was in the mood for a serious sci fi flick. I don't think I quite keyed into the humor the first time around, plus I didn't quite understand all the character dynamics.

Sean, I've been meaning to rent the series and give it a go, but haven't got around to it yet. I have watched Serenity and thoroughly enjoyed it. The characters and style are a bit quirky...but very likeable.
Adding to my Netflix queue...
Michael, you should definitely like the show, then. The characters are the strongest part.

Right now on Amazon.com the goldbox deal of the day is the Firefly complete series for $19.99. All 14 episodes.
Ahh, I read this last night and checked out Amazon, but I was so tired after coming home late I didn't bother with it. Today, it's back up to $30.00. What part of "deal of the day" did I not understand? Doh!

I was wondering what "sloppy" meant...if it's the camera work, then yes, that's definitely a conscious stylistic decision, although the camera work in the movie seemed more "traditional" than in the series.
