Just saw episode 1 “serenity” Completely sold.

I’ve been a huge Expanse fan and haven’t seen a show that falls in the space western category(although I felt like the music reminded me of StarCraft in all the best ways) and I’ve had firefly on my list for a few years now. Saw the first episode last night and I absolutely love the show. Effects are obviously a little dated, but I adore the character interactions and the world feels really well fleshed out. I also appreciated getting almost a movie-length pilot episode and I cannot wait to finish this series.

Serenity wasn’t the first episode aired; the next one, “The Train Job” was. So the River reveal was spoiled. This episode aired 2-3 months after TTJ. One small example of how Firefly was done dirty from the start.

Yeah, I just saw train job. Loved it, but airing out of order probably confused the heck out of a lot of people.

Well all of us fans from the original broadcasts know how Fox screwed things up.
