A+++++++ love this series and also recommend it! if your a history buff or just like a good story with action this is the ticket. when i was taking a history course in grad school called the Napoleonic war we watched parts of this series because while its fictional it still holds true to various parts of history.

thanks for posting citizenQ.

On man. Science Fiction simply do e s n ' t g e t a n y b e t t e r then this...

The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things".[1] The show explores the lives of people who fought on the losing side of a civil war who now make a living on the outskirts of the society, as part of the pioneer culture that exists on the fringes of their star system. In addition, it is a future where the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures as well. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."...url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_(TV_series)]Raed More[/url]

That's right: Cowboys and indians (actually flesh eating zombies) flying inter-galactic horseys in outer-space.
Watch the series first...then watch Serneity, the movie.
