Anybody here familiar with this fabulous but short-lived series?
I would highly recommend watching. You can view the pilot (and all the other episodes) legally online at the following address:
http://www.hulu.com/firefly
Pilot: http://www.hulu.com/watch/4569/firefly-serenity
The first five minutes are kinda strange, but it will all make sense later.
The show takes place around 2500. Planets all over are being terraformed to allow for habitation. The characters live on the (space) ship Serenity and is frequently in trouble with the Alliance, or the government that controls pretty much everything everywhere, but is often up to no good itself. There are many wild west type themes too. Sorry, no smoke monsters.
Unlike other sci-fi shows, they don't strive to make everything "futuristic". Six shooters, lawn chairs and t-shirts are not an uncommon sight.
