One of my favorite series. I loved everything about that show. The script, and the chemistry between the actors, was top notch. I saw it years after it first aired, and was flabbergasted that it had such a short run.
Fox fucked it with how it aired. They aired ep 3 first because they thought it'd make a better pilot, they ran episodes out of order, and changed the timeslots constantly.
Yeah, it was a clusterfuck from the get go. Which is too bad, because it was a series that could have run for years. The movie was great also. Another reason I loved that show was Summer Glau, whom I've had a life long crush on.
It was really fox for a long time had very shitty marketing. I used to watch a shitload of TV and I never saw one commercial, ad or anything about it until the movie came out. And even then, I didn't know it was a TV show, I thought it was a stand alone movie. Fox dropped the ball.
They also cancelled the last man in earth... Hilarious show but it was about a virus that kills everyone on earth... Cancelled in 2018, I guess they didn't want it running when covid hit
I used to really like that show but the quippy Joss Whedon dialogue didn't age so well for me. But I still like the old timey ways of phrasing things. I think Roger Ebert said in a review about the movie that it let the characters sound eloquent, and I agree with that.
