Re: this is a first... Firefly

Well, after all the buzz about Firefly on the list I decided to check it
out.  I remembered I still had a Borders gift card left over from my
birthday.  So I picked up the DVD set for 39.99 plus tax.  Just got done
watching the first two episodes (the pilot?).  What can I say?	It's
great.

Thanks to all for bringing it to my attention.	I had never heard of the
show before.  It sure does remind me of all those hours I spent playing
Traveller.  I was trying to explain this to my teenager as we watched. 
He
said he'd like to play Traveller sometime... like tomorrow.  I said I'd
dig
the books out of the basement so he could read them.  He said, "Oh no, I
don't want to read all that.  You just explain it to me."  Kids.

I just got the DVD set also and your comparison to Traveller is
spot on. Make him read them .......)
