Firefly was a short-lived TV series that ran for only a year on -- of all places -- the Fox network. Partly because of a carryover fan base from the Buffy and Angel series (also produced by Firefly's creator Joss Whedon), it developed a fanatical following, but was canceled mid-season by Fox.
Whedon then pulled off the impossible and raised the money to make a movie called Serenity, which continued the story, with the original cast. DVD sales of the original series and of Serenity have been extraordinary, real cult best sellers. I got into it because someone told me about the amazing feat of Whedon getting to make a movie sequel to a TV series that had been CANCELED, ferchrissakes, and now I've become a total fan. The basic concept is Outlaws In Space, a really fun group of people who fly around on the outskirts of the galaxy in a junky old spaceship and have adventures. For FFLers, there's not that much overt spirituality, except that one of the guys on the ship is a kind of Reverend. Oh, and one of the women also ministers to people's...uh...souls. But there is something about the dynamic between all of the characters that really gets me high, in a spiritual sense. They're all really weird characters, every one of them, and there is no real reason that they'd bond together to form almost a family. But they do. Maybe that's what makes it feel spiritual to me. Or maybe it's because the series *feels* as if the cast was having The Time Of Their Lives while filming it, and felt as strongly about each other in real life as their characters do. Anyway, I just thought I'd see if there were any other addicts out there (and possibly create a few new ones if there weren't). I'm sure your local video store or Netflix has the series and the film for rental. The first one's free. Heh heh.
