Firefly

If you are looking for an utterly unique show to watch this is it. Firefly had one season the last episode was aired July 2003, but there is a huge following of fans to this day…including me! Fans refer to themselves as Browncoats for the uniform coats worn by the main character during his military service.

An ex-military man buys a small cargo spaceship classified as Firefly class and makes himself captain. The captain is joined by a military veteran he served with, her husband as pilot, a gung-ho badass, and a brilliant mechanic as crewmembers. More folks join as the story progresses and I think every character added makes the show better and none are superfluous. Oh there is also a character who rents one of the two shuttles on the Firefly and that character really gets my attention!

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D stands for Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division and their mission is keep people safe in world where you find individuals with superpowers and occurances of supernatural phenomena.

This series is fun. As a  kid I loved my comic books, the Marvel Universe grew and grew over the years, Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America were all there in my youth, and I for one am glad to see the popularity they and all their comrades still have.

There is more on this world than what we generally perceive, and more to come…
