Joss Whedon's Firefly Series
Been looking for some new shows to watch. Came across Joss Whedon's Firefly (also the author of Buffy: Vampire Slayer and Dark Angel, as well as the new Wonder Woman movie, niether of which I ever watched) series with a lot of high marks, and so I decided to check out a couple of the shows. Ended up buying the full series and the full motion picture, Serenity, off Amazon, after previewing a couple episodes from Limewire downloads. Each of the nine regular cast members make up a pretty complex character mix and they are not your typical Hollywood personalities (all good or all bad). They all have their own dark histories and are more down to Earth about what motivates them (not some lofty always high ground moral goal). I think my favorite, so far, is Jayne Cobb, played by Adam Baldwin. He is just so stupid and idiotic...Only about half way through so far, but Objects in Space is one of the best 45 minutes of TV that I've seen for a while. I really like the excentric character that Richard Brooks (Law & Order) plays, Jubal Early.
And now, there is talk of a Second Season in a very unique delivery method (PPV, computer download, or monthly DVD), including HD. Very cool. Of couse, there are all sorts of fan sites.

Glad you discovered Firefly. Best.Show.Ever! Just a couple of things though.
Joss Whedon wrote "Angel", not "Dark Angel".
And that 2nd Season? Not happening. That site belongs to a man of questionable intentions. Most of his claims have been proven to be lies.

After watching the final couple of episodes, I suddenly realized that this is basically "The A-Team in Space". LOL.
Just finished the Serenity movie. WOW. I really liked this show. For anyone thinking about it, please get the series and watch it (it is above average TV), and then watch the movie. It is worth the time.
I've also finally finished watching all the Sopranos...and I would give it about a 6.5 to 7.0 (out of 10). It sort of drug out after about the 3rd or 4th season.
Now, I'm watching Lost. Only about half way through the first season, but I really like the character development, and the story is maintaining a good mystery. Everyone seems to have been on that plane for the wrong reason (or chance). Locke is my favorite one, so far. Of course, what's her name from Babylon 5 is on here to. I forgot what a bad actress she is...
