People always try to convince me that their favorite show is in someway a show I should be watching. I do usually give their shows a gander, and with an open mind I sit and stare at the screen constantly comparing it to my all time favorite show: Firefly. Sure over the years I have sat back and watched many television shows that have excited my imagination and given Firefly a run for its money. Shows such as Lost, or Doctor Who, or Sherlock have left quite an impression on me, but none like the Joss Whedon masterpiece. In my opinion Firefly trumps all other TV shows. So why with all the other space sci-fi shows out there is Firefly different? The answer to this is its originality to step outside of the typical sci-fi space opera trope, and to create a universe unlike that ever seen on the big or small screen. Most space sci-fi shows are all about traveling through the universe, and fighting or meeting extraterrestrials and the wackiness that ensues. Firefly unlike other shows was more of a space western than anything else. The shows opening theme was an …show more content…
Why would a show that was so good be so short lived? One reason was Fox network showed the episodes out of order and also had extended breaks between episodes. Whatever the case may be there are still millions of fans who watched it and in turn got it to be released on DVD/Blu-Ray. After its cancellation in 2003 an online petition by fans helped breath life back into Firefly. With this petition Whedon gained the right from fox and optioned it out as a film extension of the TV show. In 2005 Universal and Joss Whedon released the motion picture Serenity. The cast returned and gave a conclusion to the story Whedon was trying to tell in the series. Fans kept a show alive that had no chance due to network fumbling. These fans known as Browncoats, an homage to the shows main characters’ signature attire, were what saved the
the theme music is very good because the pace can be sped up or slowed
... a reprise of the Batman theme. Easily one of Elfman's finest scores, it packs a punch with great thematic drive and that unique Elfman sound.
The sounds of the shows are the atmosphere, if you think about any good quiz show and take away the music or the background sounds then it becomes less attractive and not as interesting any more. The reason being that we respond to visual stimulation better if we have audio stimulation to accompany it, they go hand-in-hand. There are once again comparable aspects to this part of the show, one of them being the frequency of the sound, in 'Millionaire' there is a variety of different music, the opening sequence music is used throughout, it is the trademark of the show, it was created to represent the image of the show. ' Weakest Link' has, other than the opening sequence music, just the two sound track. One is the dramatic music mentioned
Christopher McCandless’ long, fascinating, but an ultimately fatal journey into the wilderness of Alaska is depicted in the biography, Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer. Late in the of summer of 1990, a very young Christopher McCandless left his ordinary world in Annandale, Virginia to pursue a solitary life in the untamed wilds of Alaska. Many will insinuate that Christopher McCandless’ actions were childish and idiotic, but a stronger argument would be that his unconventional thinking and desire to live life on his own terms allowed him to reach self-actualization.
12 seasons, 24 episodes per season, 43 minutes per episode is the most time I 've ever invested in something. It was most defiantly worth it. Grey 's is the opposite of reality in a hospital which is what makes it so great! For the longest time I refused to watch it because I didn 't think I would like seeing the surgery part of the show but it 's nothing after the first episode because you are absolutely hooked. After that first episode you just know that it won 't be long before you finish the show. Bachelor in Paradise on the other hand is straight up funny and romantic reality tv. This show is a dating show to potentially find someone to spend your life with. On occasion there 's always that one person on the show that makes scenes so they can be the center of attention. These people are the ones that we match the show for because it makes it entertaining. Last season on this show there was a guy named Chad. His go to was to not be anyone 's friend but fight with all the guys in the house. This got him more screen time because this is what attracted the viewers. Then there 's One Tree Hill, a show that is based on basketball but is way more than just basketball. This show is so great that I am re-watching it currently. It 's only 9 seasons compared to 12 seasons for Grey
The main reason I decided to choose the Young and the Restless was because it sounded pretty familiar to me and it held some of the longest rivalries on any American soap opera. I was also surprised that it had actually debuted in the 1970s as it is still a popular series. The Young and the Restless also caught my attention due to the extensive and interesting plot line and twists throughout the drama. Originally I had not intended to pick a drama series from the 1970s and instead I wished to pick a drama series from the 1990s or 2000s. Though after further research and inquiry r...
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him” (G.K. Chesterton). A soldier is a soldier no matter what. If they fight behind a screen, on the front line, or from a controller as long as they’re protecting this country, the people in it, and the people fighting for it they are honorable. Some think that because one does their fighting from a remote control drone means that they have no understanding of war, and in some ways that is true, but they are still taking someone’s life when they choose to press that button just like the solders on the front line takes someone’s life when they pull the trigger. Both people are fighting the same fight: they love the country they are defending the people in it they just do it from different standpoints. Drones
However, I have extremely high hopes for Ragnarok! Agent Carter Season 2 What started off as a great show quickly took a turn for the worst. Although the new setting and lack of Captain America was refreshing, the weak story and bad acting couldn’t save the season. Hawley Atwell and Dominic Cooper shine as always, but the rest of the characters aren’t that great and feel very one-dimensional.
Before the actual performance began music was played. I thought nothing of it assuming it was music to simply hold the crowd. And also I under was the impression that this would end once the show began but to my surprise this featured music was ...
I should receive a passing grade in this class because I can write now. Not just an exaggeration, but after another semester of English I finally feel confident that can write. Three of the reasons behind my confidence is I learned, I experienced and best of all I repeated. These three values helped prepare me for what is in store in English 1302 and here is why.
Over the past semester, I have found the most challenging part of this course to simply be the transition from high school composition classes to college. Because writing expectations are so different in college than in high school, even with AP and Dual Enrollment “college level” classes, I first found myself being overwhelmed with the pressure to write the perfect first draft. The pressure came from knowing how much a final draft of a paper contributed to my grade. This left me sitting in front of my computer for hours at a time with thoughts of what I wanted to say racing through my head, but unable to deliver these thoughts into organized, structured sentences. I learned, through writing my persuasive essay, that instead of trying to write the paper start to finish and already in its perfect form, it is easier for me to look at the paper through its different components and focus on them individually, then work to best organize my ideas fluently.
Overcoming adversity is imperative. In fact, you can 't have the happiness and success you want unless you have adversity in your life and overcome it. It is essential for progressing into who you want to be. It shows you what you are made of. It teaches you more about yourself, how to approach what you want, and how to maintain the success that you have. Without it, you wouldn 't know how far you could go or how capable you are because you wouldn 't have anything to push you or compare to.
According to what I understand a theme song is a song that appears more than once in a film/movie. The theme song I will focus on is, “Let it go,” In the frozen Disney movie.
Many don’t realize that the road to success isn’t so much a road as it is a winding,
