I'd read that Firefly was right up there with Freaks and Geeks on the amazing t.v. shows that got canceled their first season list. I'm watching it now, and it really is amazing. It is mostly sci-fi but has western themes/sets, too. It's also very funny and witty and sexy. And they have a beautiful dining room table with unmatched chairs in their spaceship....
One of the episodes concerned the captain getting accidentally married, so considering it's Valentine's Day today, here's some of that dialogue, demonstrating the genius/humor of the show:
WASH
Speaking as one married man to a
another...
MAL
I am not married!
(to Saffron)
I'm sorry. You don't shame me, you
have very nice qualities but I didn't
ever marry you.
BOOK
(holding encyclopedia)
I believe you did. Last night.
Mal hesitates. As does everyone
(to Jayne, quiet)
How drunk was I last night?
JAYNE
I don't know. I passed out.
A couple of years after the show ended they made a movie, Serenity, which is also very very watchable.
