NO. Not like that.
Closer, but still no. Oh, Cowboy Bebop, you glorious thing. We'll get to you eventually.
Ah. Here we are...
In 2002, Joss Whedon (who brought us 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and, more recently the blockbuster movie 'Avengers Assemble') created a show called 'Firefly'. Only 13 episodes were made and only 11 shown before it was cancelled by FOX television. Yet this short run of less than 3 months produced a fanbase that's as die-hard now as it was 10 years ago.
So what was this 'Firefly' thing about anyway?
