And when I say 'worth the time', I mean as compared with other scifi tv programs, though certainly not the family. If the choice is catching up on Galactica or Firefly, go with Galactica. And there's always Planetes. 14, and no more forthcoming.

We don't have cable TV, and Netflix isn't instant gratification enough if there's a movie we want to watch - so I settle for the comparatively limited selection at Hollywood Video with their MVP program. Plus when we do rent its always a family-concensus pick, of course. I was able to get into Galactica, admittedly late in Season 2, thanks to BitTorrent. That way I could watch episodes on the bus, etc. I guess I could start downloading Firefly the same way... there are only a dozen episodes, right?

It's not as consistently good as Galactica, but when it's on it's quite good. It’s worth the time. It’s not as consistently good as Galactica, but when it’s on it’s quite good.
