Ah, but
Everyone knows Firefly is awesome, except Amberl who's weird, whereas B5 deserves revisiting

I do not know that 'Firefly' is awesome
I assume it to be ghastly nerd porn

I saw the movie version...it was highly generic and distinctly average in every way

it works best whe you've watched the series
as the film is pretty much the bit of series that was cancelled

I saw the film before seeing the series
and thought it was thoroughly enjoyable, the dialogue in particular is superb. It does make more sense after watching Firefly though.

That's a fairly accurate description
Though I found the film very enjoyable taken separately from the series

I have a confession
I didn't watch B5. The odd episode, yes, and I really liked it and know some characters, but I just never stuck at it due to being crap at watching series'

One of those programmes that makes much more sense if you watch it all the way through
The first series is more episodic (and not as good) but there are plenty of references to it throughout the second, third and fourth, which are much better. It was one of the first programmes to have series-long story arcs and its influence on BSG is undeniable
