Firefly and Serenity
When Firefly was dropped form TV, it was an odd time in TV history. If it has stayed on TV, it would have been another OK tv series. By cancelling it, it was catapulted it into history as a great TV series. Couple it with Serenity film, and you have a total winning package.
It’s got everything you might need, for geeks and more. The story line is a perfect mix of old style cowboys drama, set in space, perfect! It’s got an amzing case of character from the perfectly drool Wash, and the slightly irritating doctor, the fragile River, the homely rough diamond of Book and the man’s man Mal.
It is also awash with eyecandy. From the swooping vista of space, and the pixel perfect flight scenes, to the joys of the female cast. There’s the warrior queen herself Zoë, through the truely stunning Inara landing with the jewel in the of cutie geeky wonderfulness Kaylee.
Personally, when I grow up, I want to be Mal. Or possibly Jayne, and when I’m older, I want to be Shepherd Book.
So, go buy the Firefly boxset for 17 quid, and Serenity to back it up, and make a weekend of it. Shiny!

No! No! No! I was made to watch this in some kind of ironic revenge for making John watch three seasons of Buffy and it is DIRE beyond DIRE!
