And they say the Brits don't have a sense of humor!

Only complete smegheads say that. Normally only people walking round with "H"'s on their foreheads with middle names of Judas say that

Watched it, wasn't impressed. I will, as usual, give a new show more than one episode to prove itself but, like I said, I wasn't impressed by this one.

After watching 'Firefly', here are some of my observations...

#1. Cowboys in space. This has been done before, and is actually presently being done. Something called "Donte Montana" is out there on the Space network, which has a very similar cast, except that their spaceship is a bountyhunter vessel instead of a trading vessel, but very similar clothes and universe.

#2. The 'evil empire' is pretty tame. Watching the discussion on that battleship, or whatever, between the military crew, these guys were more casual then the orignal Star Trek crew.

#3. Too many humans of 2 dimensional characters. You have your self centred crewman, your physically strong woman, your mentally strong woman, your weak woman, your smart yet wimpy doctor, your old guy, your pilot, and your tough, yet downright morally good, lead character.

#4. Their ship effects are good, but any show can have good effects.

#5. The episode I saw was a combination of Aliens, Alien Reserection, Event Horizon and The Good the Bad and the Ugly.

#6. Basically, it another "Andromeda", but with 'attitude' and 'proactiveness' (something Simpsons followers might find amusing).

I heard that the show is already in trouble, having even lower Ratings then Farscape (which had a very loyal following).

Sad to hear the show is already in trouble. I quite enjoy it...at first I thought they were trying too hard, but with the second show, it seems to me that the characters might be deeper than I thought. Or it could be complete crap...I'll have to see more.
