Firefly: A Special Feature
Philip B. Gaines writes "Philip B. Gaines announces the completion of an independent multimedia commentary project, "Firefly: A Special Feature", a DVD based on the FOX television series created by Joss Whedon. A free examination copy of the project is available for those willing to provide feedback about this media experiment. "Firefly: A Special Feature" is a 3.5 hour multi-module review of Whedon's innovative space western series. The interactive review features a variety of interpretive and analytical components--all intended to further discussion of this seriously underappreciated show. The bottom line of the project is dialogue, not promotion. If you have seen "Firefly" before and found it intriguing--or even if you haven't--this project will make you think, argue, and perhaps even learn a bit. For "Firefly: A Special Feature", I have acted as writer, video/sound editor, and media producer, working with complete independence from the producers of the show or anyone else whose influence might bias the analysis. Plans are underway to do this kind of project again, so I would appreciate feedback on all levels. See the website for a formal description of the project Email pbgaines@pbgaines.com for a copy of the DVD."
Bleh!
What a boring show.
For a show with such a strong military orientation, it sure was unrealistic as hell.
Were they fighter pilots?
Or groud troops?
If you're going to do a "touchy-feely" sci fi series like Farscape or Star Trek, you can afford to bend reality a bit.
IMO - if you can't add a little "realism" to your sci-fi show, then don't bother producing or airing it. I don't want to waste my time watching another "touchy-feely" drama with a futuristic setting, that's going to be cancelled in less than 20 episodes.
These are my friends, See how they glisten. See this one shine, how he smiles in the light.
Was that the show with muppets or the one with space cowboys? Either way, both sucked.
Mod -5, irreverant
