icepixieI finally got around to watching the recorded eps of Firefly I had (just the two-part pilot, or first two, or however they number their eps...whatever they showed on Sci-Fi last week). It's...not bad. Which is a better reaction than the "eh" it got the last time I tried to watch it, so hey. I think it might be the Western element that I'm not sold on. Or maybe it's that everybody MUMBLES ALL THE FREAKING TIME WHILE TALKING REALLY FAST and I have to turn on closed captioning to understand half the words that come out of their mouths, which always aggravates me.
I recognize that it's good, and the ways in which it is good, and it made me giggle a few times, and I love the music, and I was interested enough to watch all of these and make plans to watch the next few, but it has yet to really grab me, you know? It must be a Whedon thing, 'cause that's how I felt about Buffy and Angel, too.
So...more eps. And since people such as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
asinpterodactyl seem to be into it, I imagine I'll go along if a big group of people go see the movie in Mt. Vernon (especially if I like the other eps).
That said, I think I'm a little in love with Jayne. Hee. He's definitely my favorite character.

Date: 2005-08-03 04:41 pm (UTC)I think it might actually have something to do with the Sci-Fi Channel, 'cause I've noticed the same problem with the two Stargates on both of our TVs here and sophomore year in the Mather Wellness lounge. DVDs I watch, on the other hand, don't really have that problem of the music being louder than the dialogue.
Or maybe I just need my ears checked.
Buffy and Angel never grabbed me, but Firefly did, in the same way that Farscape did (but more so). I'm glad you're watching more, and I think you may find your opinion changing for the better.
Maybe so, maybe so.
