So I'm officially hooked and bummed at the same time..

Over the last week of so, I have been indulging in some alone time in front of the TV.I'm not much of a TV freak (As I used to be) and this only seems to happen when I get as already mentioned, hooked on something.

The TV show in question: Firefly

If you don't know anything about it, it's a Sci-fi/Western Drama by the Creator of Buffy (Joss Whedon) That was cancelled; half way through a season but the fan base was so strong, that they got a full length movie commissioned. Which if you don't know is a kickin' film out at the moment called SERENITY

Seriously if your looking for an awesome night out, go see it..

But as usual that’s not the point I’m trying to make in this blog. The main character in this show/movie is the Captain of Serenity, Mal Reynolds. Think Han Solo with balls and angst. And he's easily become one of my favourite characters ever because of one thing.

Because he's so not the norm. His decisions seem to contradict what you would normally see on a TV show. He flies by the seat of his pants (my kinda guy) and is really quick to shoot.

And too me, it feels really honest. A lot of TV shows now days, give characters that are either politically correct, or push the boundaries just for the sake of it. While this show's writing really set up a show that feels real.

So I guess I'm saying is that, I think I've finally hit that point where the TV will only be used for Movies and News, man that makes me old doesn't it? AAAARGH

Well unless I find another decent TV show (suggestions), or if Greg gets the next episode of the OC :P

And to finish off with a quote from a famous TV shot, we all should go and see "SERENITY NOW!!!!"

(Anyone have idea which show?? what about which movie the title comes from??)
