Friend has been recommending me to watch this show for the longest time and I finally got around to seeing it... and I finished the entire season in 2 days lol. Going to watch the movie tomorrow hoping it will tie a lot of loose ends in the show.

I'm so sad this show had to be cancelled, and I was wondering if their are any other shows out there like Firefly?

my friend told me the movie had a "different" pastor although it "Probably"was the same actor <_<
unfortunately i have not seen many like firefly the closest i would recommend is probably the last arc of Star Gate SG-1 (Battle with Ourai)
however, the whole stargate universe have endless possibilities to offer.

I second the Stargate Series. IMO Atlantis > SG1 > Universe, but if you want to watch them, going in the actual order would probably be best xD
The newer Battle Star Galactica was good, though way more drama than Firefly.
Torchwood maybe? Dr. Who spin-off, but really nothing like Dr. Who, so don't let that influence you. Much more mature and realistic (I think).

you can try buffy the vampire slayer as they're the two best shows made by joss whedon imo. if you mean plot-wise in space, then the others covered it i think.

I really enjoyed Dollhouse once it got a few episodes in, completely forgot about that one.

If you don't mind anime, Cowboy Bebop is pretty similar and has a really good rating. It's the only one I've seen, so the only one I can really recommend.

However, there are also Trigun and Outlaw Star (considered "Space Westerns").

i watched it ofc, but i really couldnt really enjoy it to the same level. i felt they could have done much better with the premise. im actually kinda curious if they have any good fanfic of it, now that i think of it.

Yeah McKay was one of my favorite characters, but I really liked Jack. It was kind of depressing seeing him as a guest in the later episodes =/

Really? I had trouble watching it the first few episodes or first season I think. I didn't like the episodes where all they were doing was going to clients. Once the conspiracy stuff started, I thought it was really good.
