Unfortunately, for several reasons, the series less than one season (after eleven of the fourteen produced episodes were aired). But, via word of mouth and the Internet, the fan base grew so large that, in 2005, a full-length movie called "Serenity" was produced by Universal Studios.
One of the reasons it became so popular (in spite of its cancellation) was the snappy dialogue.
Here are (in my humble opinion)...
