Firefly

Bought firefly series dvd after seeing it on discount. I made the move as I had watched its sequeal "Serenity", the movie about a month ago and the fact that the series has only 14 episodes makes it less costing to collect. Plus, I am a fan of Joss Whedon, loved Buffy and Angel, thus love firefly even more, maybe because it has sci-fi elements in it and I really love the dialogues. The dialogues included chinese...haha. In the firefly world, Joss's theory is that only United States and China survived in the future so everyone understood both languages. The hilarious part was listening to the actors pronouncing the chinese words.

Another thing was that chinese was their 'Galatic Language', the actors spoke chinese but the ship's computer used cantonese instead. 1 thing I can conlcude is that Hollywood seems to treat all dialects as chinese. I forgotten what movie I had watched before, where Chow Yun Fat starred in it. When he spoke cantonese, the subtitle bracketed it as chinese.

Back to firefly, it was really sad that the series was cancelled at that time. Perhaps, there are too much sci-fi based series which already existed, Startrek, Farsacpe, Andromeda...etc. I am hoping they will restart firefly, seeing the fact that it was made into a movie, think I will buy Serenity dvd as well.
