So, Cassie often comes home from college babbling about something that she discovered that year that we should all watch/read/experience. This summer, it was Firefly, this show created by Joss Whedon that was on Fox several years ago and has recently inspired a fervent following. Firefly is kind of a combination sci-fi/western about a band of space thieves in the twenty-sixth century. It's one of those smart shows that certain networks (like Fox) don't know how to handle. So basically, Fox ruined it while it was on, because . . . well, it's Fox. And the show was cancelled after something like half a season.
Once it came out on DVD, however, people rediscovered it, and now it's a thing. Cassie got the season DVD for her birthday, and is now introducing us to it. It's quite fun. If you've seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, it's the same intelligence in the dialogue. Also, Captain Hammer is the captain of the ship, so that's an adjustment.
Anyway, if you've not experienced Firefly, you should. Find the episodes and watch them. You will most likely enjoy it.
