Firefly was Joss Whedon’s first non-Buffy universe show and was an interesting failure. For a show that debuted to poor ratings, had episodes shown out of order and only had 11 of the 14 episodes actually air, it has quite a following. When the axe finally fell on the show, I don’t think anyone would have expected a movie showing up a few years later. And while the show did ultimately fail, it was ultimately a wonderful show that deserves a wider audience.
