ActiveX, I'm a huge Firefly fan (DVD's out in December!!!), and I think it'd be fun to try this. If you can get bigger pics, please do so. I'll try to tackle this.

Quite different, with a "patched together" look that works well.

I'd like to see this ship in game, too.

Finding hosted images is proving to be more difficult than I thought...

Firefly is a suspended Joss Whedon (Buffy and Angel) TV series that ran long enough on FOX to collect a fanbase that got pissed off at FOX and campaigned to get it back...

Sofar a DVD collection of the episodes FOX purchased is as much as we can hope for...

Maybe a movie in the works...

Anyhow, Firefly is actually the class of the vessel in the pic...

Serenity is the name of it...

However, Firefly is the reason why Dark Angel was cancelled. An executive at FOX decided she wanted Firefly on FOX, but had to free up money from other shows. So she moved Dark Angel from a prime time slot (where it was picking up 11 million viewers) and moved it to a late night friday slot. Then used the drop in ratings as an excuse to cancel the show.

They can make Firefly as good as they want (although most people consider it worse than Andromeda, which is about as low as you can go), I'll never watch it.

I have doubts about all that...

But to my knowledge, Dark Angel was gone either way, whether Firefly was airing or not...

You must have heard that from pissed off DA fans, because most people I know think it is better than Trek...

It blows Trek outa the water in almost every respect.... Characters, humor, believability, but it's REAL downfall might have been the smallest requirement for the audience the THINK a little bit....

It was the Friday slot that killed it. That was how Star Trek died back in the 1960's as well......10 pm Friday night!

Well if you are really patient or on Broadband: http://versaphile.com/download/firefly.html

They are decent quality for their size...

And it would give a lot of coverage of the ship pictured above...

Thanks, ActiveX. Sorry I haven't been online much, I've been a bit busy the last few days. But I do wanna try this.

Well, having seen it for the first time a few weeks ago, I'm lovin' it.  Worse than Andromeda?  Who on earth could possibly say that.  I can't stomach Andromeda comercials, let alone the actual show. Firefly on the other hand has many things I wish sci-fi creators would pay attention to.  It's got characters that behave like people, rather than cardboard cutouts of some persons political ideals.  Really nice change of pace.

FireFly..???
I think Iīve seen ONE good episode, but I canīt remmember the name.

Nice ship thought.

(ironic voice start)
     As far as Andromeda is concerned, It is funiest than Trek indeed. When I saw it, I couldnīt stop laughing.....
(ironic voice end)

Thanks,

Mariano

Maybe I'm crazy but this ship looks like a baby bird with no feathers.Is it possible that it is a metaphoric representation of fledgeling space travel ? (Shrug)

Could be...

Even in the show it is an old ship...
