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.
