Firefly - The Complete Series

Firefly - The Complete Series
Five hundred years in the future there's a whole new frontier, and the crew of the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity is eager to stake a claim on the action. They'll take any job, legal or illegal, to keep fuel in the tanks and food on the table. But things get a bit more complicated after they take on a passenger wanted by the new totalitarian Alliance regime. Now they find themselves on the run, desperate to steer clear of Alliance ships and the flesh-eating Reavers who live on the fringes of space.

Customer Review: Excellent Take on Sci-Fi

I've read a lot of reviews of this show, especially the 1 star one's who didn't like it (aside from the 1 star one's who say they loved it but gave it 1 star because Amazon screwed up) and I have to say this series is excellent.



First, it was completely marketed wrong. Though the story isn't that far fetched it has been met with some criticism from the "its a sci-fi/western combo" crowd. This does have western elements but the overall theme is very sci-fi and instead of focusing entirely on the gadgets and gizmos, they decided to focus more on the people and how they cope with hardships in the future. Think of this more like the developed world today versus the 3rd world. If anyone has ever been to a 3rd world country, the scenario in this show isn't all that far fetched, in fact, it's very very plausible except for some minor details. If you've ever seen a donkey pulling a half gutted automobile while the rider, wearing rags, talks on a cellular phone and has a rifle strapped to his arm, this show will bring you back to those life changing experiences.



Basically, the characters are on the edge of their civilized galaxy where very little technology is present, but that which is is quite a deal more advanced than ours. The tech in this show is very subtle in its display and often has to be called out for you to even notice such as holographic pool balls.



Point is, it is a really good show, and after watching it all for free online, I just ordered the box set. I hope this somehow finds a second chance. Most of the key characters are really multi-dimensional and those who aren't are still very likable if not in form then function.

Customer Review: Three words: Best Show Ever!!!!

Have you still not seen the show that was canceled before it even aired all its episodes and then went on to sell so many of these dvd sets that a big screen movie, "Serenity", was made from it? This is one of the best tv series ever made. The actors paired so perfectly with their characters. A world ("a 'verse") so real and comprehensive. Created by Joss Whedon, the master of the genre, creator of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and ANGEL. Tim Minear also produces and writes and directs some episodes. I promise you will be back to tell me I was right in strongly urging you to buy this!

Customer Review: Really is Essential

I believe that this is a good product. Its a good price for a ExHDD, is fairly durable (I dropped it about 2 feet and it still works), and comes with a product warranty. I have had this for about a year now, and its never really let me down.



However, my biggest, and only complaint is that the power cord is huge. I know these need their own power source, so its fine, but if you plan on lugging this around with your laptop, you're going to need a larger bag, or a separate one the carry this with it.



Overall, I believe that this product is a great buy and it can save you heartache and pain if you ever lose your files.

Customer Review: Great while it lasted.

I had this drive for over a year. I had it just about full of important video files. I had it standing up instead of flat, and when the cat bumped it, it tipped over. That's right, it just tipped over. It didn't fall off the desk or smash on the ground, it just went from standing to sitting. Well, I guess that was enough, because after that, it stopped working. Goodbye files. Overall, I'd say look elsewhere.

Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers (New Packaging)

Legend - The Best Of Bob Marley And The Wailers (New Packaging)
Even as greatest hits packages go, this is an utter gem. Every song is inspired, in a class of its own, whether the real version of "I Shot the Sheriff," the hymnlike "No Woman, No Cry," or the sheer joy of "Jamming." Even allowing that Marley never wrote any bad material, then Legend is still the crème de la crème, the heart and soul of the Jamaican people packed into one five-inch compact disc. He was unique, and the message of this record, more than any other, is that he died far too soon. --Chris Nickson

Customer Review: Should Not be Marley's Bestselling

First of all, I do not own this CD, but I own almost every Bob Marley and the Wailers album, and have heard every song on this compilation. I'm also not a fan of compilation albums, because they do not give a good representation of the quality of the artist, it's just like listening to the radio. The songs chosen are all great songs, but where is Kaya, Concrete Jungle, or any song off Survival, which is his best album. If you are a new fan, I suggest to start off with one of his real albums, either Kaya, Natty Dread, Survival, or Exodus. Ultimately, looking at the track listing makes me disappointed that these are the only songs most people are hearing. If you start out with this, it makes less sense to purchase an album of which you already have a couple songs, this is a dead end album. I think if I had bought this album, I would have never bought all the other ones, which I never get tired of listening to.

Customer Review: Legend-Best of Bob Marley

Very disappointed! We had lost our old tape and thought this CD would be a great replacement. However, the sound/tempo of this CD is "off." It would have been helpful to know that this CD was NOT the ORIGINAL, but some type of reproduction. LET ME KNOW THESE DETAILS IN FUTURE, OR I SHALL FEEL THE NEED TO GO ELSEWHERE.



Thank you.
