About this listen

It was a time of cowboys.

It was a time… of Space.

For the first and only time in human history, someone realized that there were some fun parallels between the American frontier of the 1800’s and the near-future frontier of planetary colonization.

The result was a tall-walkin’, funny-talkin’ stranger of a show that tore through the sleepy town of Network Sci-Fi and vanished just as quick as it arrived, leaving behind DVD box sets, a legion of dedicated fans, and more than a few nay-sayers.

At the line between law and order, where the criminal and the hero can be one in the same, the intergalactic tumbleweeds whisper a single question:

Is Firefly SHINY… or is it HEINIE?

    Case 15: Serenity

    As is often the case in this here vale of tears, genre shows end -- and end without a chance to finish the story they were telling. But every so often, a dadgummed angel flies down on wings of gossamer silver and give that show one last chance and a few dozen million dollars to right that wrong. One movie to sum it ALL up, to finish.the.story. Do J.H.W.A.G.X Whedon and his team of miscreants pull it off? Do they even come close? Does Serenity’s end bring peace and balance as Firefly’s end?

    In the de-facto series finale, the crew of the Firefly are accosted by a man most scurrilous, but with unmatched charisma. Is this a satisfying episode that shows off the strengths of the show? Is this a satisfying finale for the years before there was a capstone movie made? A lion? Is Firefly SHINY or is it HEINIE? Join the GRAND JURY: www.patreon.com/shadeaux
