No, not toxicbug and a piece of bread.


Andromeda/Firefly (Serenity):

[[xeno]Julios]

they don't look that similar to me - but then again we all have our unique pattern recognition facilities, which is why diff people pick up on diff patterns...

p.s. firefly OWNS.

me neither, but then i notice similarities in the eyes, which is why no one understands when i say my landlady looks like noam chomsky

[Foo]

Eyes, Nose, Chin, Dimples.

Smaller character stuff like their mannerisms and fondness of hawaiian shirts.

[MKJ]

speaking of which, i think mr herpes should get his old icon-sig back :icon14:

[SplishSplash]

andromeda and firefly have so many similarities that it would be delusional to say Firefly isn't an Andromeda ripoff.

Firefly's execution is WAY better though.

[Foo]

it would be delusional to say Firefly isn't an Andromeda ripoff.

Andromeda,
The A-Team,
Star Trek,
Red Dwarf,
Buffy,
Lexx,
Star Wars.

It takes from all these, and a whole lot more.

Indeed, I believe somewhere I read that two of one of the major creator's favorite series were Farscape and Cowboy Beebop. You can defiantly see some of those in Firerfly. :icon14:

[Foo]

What is creativity if not an amalgamation of experience?

Sometimes it's superficial.

[losCHUNK]

farscape, babylon 5, andromeda, lexx i thought sucked monkey dick

firefly owned and im pretty pissed it didnt make it past series 1

also, i agree foo, thought the same thing the 1st time i seen him

[[xeno]Julios]

me neither, but then i notice similarities in the eyes, which is why no one understands when i say my landlady looks like noam chomsky

bahahaha

I just got done watching the series.

A couple of plot holes jumped up at me. The biggest was the 'dead' guy and how he had to carry organs because they couldn't be moved outside of a human host.

Yet apparently he was gonna have his own organs re-inserted at the destination.

right.

[[xeno]Julios]

tracy wasn't always the brightest

I know he was smuggling them - so there were legal reasons for him carrying the organs inside of him rather than in cryo or artificial incubation.

Perhaps his own organs wouldn't need such measures.

Possible plot holes aside, what did you think of the series?

Here's a review of the episode that mentions the same problem you did, and an ensuing discussion:

I didn't much like the episode either, btw.

If there's a vote for weakest episode then the one with the big silver whorehouse gets my vote.

Primarily because it was practically isolated from the rest of the series, but also because it was set-up like an A-Team episode without ever acknowledging that it was a homage.

[[xeno]Julios]

yea the message, heart of gold, bushwacked, and safe, were my least fav

objects in space, war stories, ariel, out of gas, and trash were my favs.

the others were excellent also.

but even the weakest episodes are a pleasure to watch just from the sheer quality of the series.

if u get the chance, watch some of them with director's commentary.

objects in space is really good to watch with commentary.

yea, but i like the way they ripped the piss into themselves

its like,' ok, budget... cunts didnt give us enough money'

'right, we'll cover it in tinfoil and then say "it looks like its covered in tin foil". thatll show em'
