 "Firefly" Tv Series - Instapundit.com Review - Reviews
People asked me earlier how it compared to Serenity, and I think I’ve seen enough episodes to form an opinion now: The movie was good, but the TV series was better.
Despite its low-budget woes, Firefly really grew on me. It is very refreshing to see a sci-fi that does not revolve around a high-tech government warship or a quest to save the galaxy.
Aside from the implied libertarian politics, I also enjoy the humor, the dialogue and the chemistry of the crew.
