Yes, you guessed it. The nerds in this house are finally jumping on the Firefly bandwagon (chuck wagon? covered wagon?). We watched the first four episodes tonight. I still can't figure this show out. It's a western. It's in space. Ok, we've done that before with Star Wars, but this is nothing like Star Wars. Well, other than the fact that Mal is a Han Solo type. Alright, we've got Han Solo with horses. Maybe it's Cowboys & Aliens (which we also haven't seen). But, wait, there's lots of Chinese stuff. There is a minister. There's a doctor. In the west. Maybe it's Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman? Don't forget the prostitute. She was on How I Met Your Mother. I am beyond confused.
I am trying to decide what I think about the characters. Mal is okay. Like I said, he's a bit of a Han Solo. I love Han Solo. I dig his holster and suspenders. (Mal, not Han.) I find the doctor interesting. Maybe I connect with him because he seems almost as confused as I am. The women are weird. Jayne is a stereotypical muscle man, except when he isn't. Book has some work to do with these folk. I think they may end up corrupting him eventually. Maybe not, since it only lasted one season.
I will keep watching. It is way better than Arrested Development, and I stuck with that for the entire mess because everyone said it was soooooo good. The music on Firefly is also way better than "The Final Countdown". Thanks for nothing, G.O.B.
