The short lived Joss Whedon series Firefly gives many nerds geekgasims of incredible magnitude. It’s hard to believe that a show that lasted one season can have its own rabid fan base that’s as dedicated as they are. I’ve always thought that I would like the series, being a geek who is a huge science fiction fan. I didn’t get a chance to really sit down and watch it. Thanks to Netflix’s instant queue and a dismal social life I’ve finally seen the whole series and I’m wondering what the big deal is about the series.
Now don’t get me wrong, I didn’t absolutely hate the show. It had it’s moments (some were awesome). I just don’t get why people love it so much. I decided to create a list of things that bugged me about the show to both entertain and anger.
1. The re-use of Starship Troopers suits:
I realize that the series had a limited budget, but I’m a big Starship Troopers fan, so it’s damned distracting any time I see those re-used costumes. To make things even worse is when I’m at a convention I can’t tell what they are supposed to be. The lame-o brown coats think that they’re call backs to Firefly while the awesome people (me) think they from the greatest sci-fi bug themed combat film of all time, which always leads to fist fights and guys dressed up like space cowboys crying like babies.
