You watchin' it on Sci-Fi Channel? What episode are you at?

Fun to see some similarities with Firefly! :)


Milo wrote on 2005/02/08:
Yeah, I think the pilot even features Serenity in the background somewhere.

Also, it doesn't have quite the same dedication to no-sound-in-vacuum-of-space as Firefly, but I like how they have kept it to a minimum.

Also, the company responsible for the cgi really mimic the Firefly style with all the zooming and panning.

Yeah that's the one.

I remember reading the original concept for the series in early 2003, describing their desire to communicate the feel of watching the action from hand-held cameras in the ships themselves. They really delivered on it.

I've seen all 13 eps now, so I'll have to wait a while to find out how the story continues... :/
But what an ending!!

Heh, they're all waiting for me on my hard drive. :) Saw the pilot and first episode just yesterday.
