firefly

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

You did get season 2...it was 2 hours long and called Serenity.
Whedon put what was going to be the main plot of season 2 into the movie.

As I understand it, both deaths in the film were because the studio required a multi-film contract (even though there was only one), and those two actors didn't want to be tied up for the next several years in case Serenity 2 happened.

BTW, the comics are an acceptable replacement for Season 3.

These are pretty much in chronological order:
The Shepherd's Tale - Book's pre-Firefly days. Haven't read it, but it has mixed reviews.
Better Days then Those Left Behind - Takes place between Firefly and Serenity.
Float Out - Post-Serenity. Rather dull. Only notable for one page.
Leaves on the Wind - Season 3.

There are a few other short stories where it isn't clearly defined when they take place.

In trades, there is:
Serenity Vol 1: Those Left Behind
Serenity Vol 2: Better Days and other stories
Serenity Vol 3: The Shepherd's Tale
Serenity Vol 4: Leaves on the Wind

Thanks, one of my stops has a big table or rotating sale trades, I'm sure I've seen some there before - just have to get to that store & see what they have left.

The Shepherd's Tale isn't bad. It's not great, but not bad. Book's backstory seems a little contradictory to the way the Alliance treats him in the one episode, and it's definitely "well, dammit, people are still going to want to know this guy's story, so we have to give them something, but since he's dead it doesn't matter if it's what we originally intended."

Thing is, aside from the continuity issues, it's a very good comic, and the format of the story is pretty clever (not to spoil specifics, but it's told in reverse time, like he's flashing back as he's dying).

A woman walks in the bedroom in that bra, people know she's not afraid of anything.
Pretty, cunning, don't you think?

Man, that's a sneaky hot body. I figured her for cute, not for being an absolute rocket.
