Firefly is one of those TV series that instantly resonates with sci-fi fans. The scope and potential of the whole thing is epic. But as usual, the TV high-ups were utterly blind to what they had and canned it before it really took off. I've lost track of just how many times I've watched this series, on Blu-ray and DVD, but it never gets old.
**Score: 10/10 — A Perfect, Unforgettable Constellation of Characters and Story** Some shows are good. Some are great. And then there is *Firefly* a series so brilliant, so perfectly crafted, that its tragic 14 episode run only adds to its mythic status. This is not just science fiction; this is storytelling at its purest, most human level.

Might've bloomed if given a couple more seasons for growth, but from what we now know of Whedon's professional habits, it's better that it hadn't.
