Friday night was the premier of Joss Whedon's new show, Firefly. The premise is interesting sci-fi, basically a show set in the future with spaceships and the like, but there are no aliens at all, only humans recovering from a major civil war where a federation of sorts forced all planets under a single rule. Kind of an anti-Star Trek.
As for the style of the show itself, calling it a space western would be very apt. From the clothing to the weapons and even the music, it's very old-west style in contrast with the clean militaristic government.
The writing is very sharp, the premise somewhat unique, and I usually have a measure of faith in Joss (creator of Buffy and Angel) so we shall see! |
