Firefly is the best show ever including better than the new BSG (2004).
The new BSG has two awesome seasons, but then the show deterioates, first slowly but then ever quicker, until the finale thats just awful through and through. The problem is simply that the script authors accumulate so many mysteries but then they cannot manage good explanations to most of them.
And for the record, the original BSG is not much of anything.

Very different shows.
I definitely prefer and thinks
Firefly
is better. I liked BSG and it was great until season 3, had some good episodes in seasons 3 & 4, but overall they were very lackluster. I hated the finale.
Hamilton cast expected to apologize for expressing concerns. What happened to 1st Amendment? -

Battlestar by default. They had more time to develop their characters and finish their story. It's not Firefly's fault. They just didn't get the opportunity that BSG had.
You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?
