Is it worth watching


I love firefly, now I need to fill the void is this show worthy of following firefly?

reply

Can you believe I never seen firefly? I have them and have watched part of an episode. It seemed too western for my taste. One of these days I will finish watching it.

I loved farscape. There is nothing deep in it and you can just enjoy the show for what it is. Almost like stargate atlantis. Another show stargate universe is more contained but I found it was tiring. Just like I enjoyed star trek enterprise more than star trek any other.

In a word, NO, it is not worth watching.

Yes, it is absolutely worth watching.

Just be aware that season 1 is a little slow, but the show really picks up from season 2 onwards. For season 1 just grit your teeth and get through it. It is essential to watch season 1 in order to understand what is going on in the rest of the show. Season 1 is not bad, it's just a little on the generic side. Seasons 2, 3 and 4 are all very good.

Frell yeah! You'll thank yourself if you watch it, although it does take a while to pick up steam. Once it does, you are in for a wild ride!

Farscape is far more faithful to the sci-fi genre whilst Firefly is like a sci-fi western.

Farscape reminds me a lot of Lexx. One could say it is almost a blatant rip-off.

Farscape reminds me a lot of Lexx. One could say it is almost a blatant rip-off. I like Lexx, so it is natural that I also like farscape.

I tried some Sci-Fi series recently. I watched a couple of episodes of different shows to see what sticks with me. Star Trek TNG, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica and Farscape. I like them all more or less (except BG) - but for some reason I watched Farscape the most so far. Firefly is good, but Farscape has something special. I think it has more interesting and diverse characters - and its the funniest. I am happy to have 4 seasons plus movies ahead of me.
