You can stream it on Netflix. I've been trying to watch it, but I honestly get really sleepy while watching it.

Ok, this is honestly the coolest thing I've read all day. Thank you for putting this out there.

The problem I have with sex scenes in movies or whatever is where my mind goes when I see it. That's probably dependent on who you are, but if images make you think about sinful things, that's just as much sin as doing it yourself, right? That's the problem I had with Inara's scenes. (And the lesbian one...is something I'd rather erase from my memory forever >_>)

I must say, though, Morena Baccarin is one of the few TV/movie actresses I've seen who's actually pretty. Scratch that, she's beautiful. Lots of big actresses just look so made-over and ugly despite every attempt to make them beautiful, but she was truly lovely. And I still can't get over her voice! It was so fluid and smooth.... She would make a great voice actress, I think - but then you'd miss her beautiful face....

Gotta give it time to pick up. I think once you get to the episode "A Human Reaction" it really starts to get good and "Nerve/The Hidden Memory" really begins the story arch that carries over through the rest of the series.

I didn't think it was the Best Show Ever, but I thought it was enjoyable for its snappy dialog and worth the time it takes to watch (if one is okay with its content). And it makes me happy whenever they reference the show in Castle (such as the Halloween episode when he dresses up as a space cowboy).

I liked Cowboy Bebop better, though.

The_Wolfs_Howl, I totally understand mate. By gratuitous scenes I meant sex scenes. I'm not trying to say sin isn't sin, it is.

Okay. Just thought I'd clarify :jump:

If I remember correctly, Joss Whedon got most of his inspiration from Cowboy Bebop, except for River, which came from Outlaw Star.

I personally like Firefly a good deal more than Cowboy Bebop. Granted, it's been several years since I've seen Bebop, so I'm not sure how much I like it anymore.

That would make sense lol I saw a lot of Cowboy bebop in Firefly, which I loved. Sense Cowboy bebop is my favorite anime.

Where does Joss Whedon say he got inspiration from Cowboy Bebop? I just figured that he combined old school sci-fi with the typical western archetypes and used his own brand of humour to breathe new life into his characters.

I remember reading it on TVTropes, which I deemed a fairly trustworthy source, since it began as a Buffy fansite.
