Firefly med mera “umph”

Garrison Dean är en favorit från hemsidan io9. Han har en återkommande artikelserie som heter This Is A Disaster som går ut på att editera om saker. För det mesta är det bilder, men då och då kläcker han ur sig någon video. Tillsammans med Charlie Jane Anders släppte han idag en editerat version av introt till Firefly. Som går under namnet Firefly Intro… The Awesome Edition. Erkänn att du tycker det låter lovande?

So why did we decide to create this video? Read on!

For every superlative graced upon Firefly — it’s awesome, original, best scifi show ever, River is a PIECE!!! — there is an equal number of debatable reasons why the show, for lack of a better word, failed. The time slot was bad, they screwed up the order of the shows, FOX, the viewing public is brain dead slime unable to grasp something even remotely conceptually different, and so on… These are valid reasons to be sure, but in reality it all boils down to one simple element: the title sequence.

Firefly lost its mass audience within the first few minutes, thanks to its country fried, home town, soft hearted, sepia glowing, filk-tastic, credits sequence. It was, how you say, a little on the nose. Mind you, it’s not terrible (Enterprise, I’m looking at you) it just… well, to quote my brother “Yeah, we get it Joss, it’s a western in space.”
