Sixty Second Review

Another great episode, with a great story at its core - discovering the ghost ship, discovering the bodies, the single survivor then being captured by the alliance. Bushwhacked was an extremely well paced and well written episode.

The strength and bond of the crew is again shown to the audience. I really liked the way that the interrogation was filmed on the alliance cruiser. This episode had everything that you expect from good television, good built ups, twists, strong story, great characters and a good ending.

I'm continually impressed by what Firefly offers. Its constant episode after episode and I know that Joss is just waiting to push the envelope just that little bit further very soon.

What's so great about Firefly is that it has all the best things you'd expect from a western but at the same time its science fiction. The characters have heart, the stories are beautiful and you are completely absorbed by the show.

This week we have a typically western hijack of a train, it really doesn't get anymore iconic than this. But instead of horses we've got a spaceship. As ridiculous as this sounds on paper Joss pulls it off without a pinch doubt.

There are big plans ahead, I think River is going to be the focus point for something very big. Only time will tell.

From Tim's fear of dogs, to revenge on girlfriend stealing paintball playing Duane this episode shows us that down right crazy can be down right funny.

Half the fun of this show is to spot the pop culture references in which the episodes are full of. Its really quite clever and quite clear that the cast are playing homage to the major influences in their life.

This episode gets us back on track. I'm a huge fan of the Resident Evil Series of games. This episode even inspired Pegg and Wright to later create a movie called Shawn of the Dead.

From Crazy Zombie shooting scenes, to failed job interviews and a crazed art show they are all comedy gold.

I didn't think this was a funny as the first episode but did enjoy the pop culture references to Close Encounters of the Third Kind throughout the episode. The characters are down to earth and easy to relate to.

Wacky characters seems to be a recurring theme with Tim's best mate Mike and the down stairs resident Brian being far from normal. But that's what makes things interesting.

The episode slowed down a little compared to the first but I'm sure that things will pick up.
