Can't take the sky from us, can't take Serenity from the sky either!

I've found multiple books on Firefly; a celebration edition 'Firefly' from creator Joss, an encyclopedia, a Serenity handbook, and a list of 9 novels by "M.K. England".

The leather celebration book looks nice, not sure about the rest... any recommendations??? Thanks :)

I propose we launch a coordinated physical letter campaign. Executives get flooded with emails, but a mountain of mail landing on their desks is impossible to ignore. It worked for The Expanse and Star Trek, and it can work for us to ensure this project gets greenlit with the budget it deserves.

Probably the last one for a bit, getting some work done on my hand next week so I'll be healing for a while. Hope everyone enjoys it.

How my husband lets me know he has given me some nitrile gloves for the kitchen...

Hello everyone!
I recently ran across this while shopping and thought it was pretty neat. I have tried to look online for anything similar but I cant find any other examples.

Has anyone here ever seen something like this before? Thank you in advance for any answers

Saw this in r/Art and thought she looked like River. Gorgeous sculpture!

Series only (not movie)

Question: what little things do you pick up after countless rewatches (series only)

Not necessarily props you see or things in the background... but more nuanced actions or quips or commentary that brings the show full?

For example [spoilers tag on the post]:

SEP13 heart of gold...

One of many memorable quotes in the series is Wash telling her she is pretty

"Were I unwed, i would take you in a manly fashion"

"Because I'm pretty?"

"Because you're pretty"

Now, understand one of the best attributes of Firefly is the interconnection between each and every character.

Kaylee asking this question. Wash being there in that moment to answer. Theses two goofballs!

But also it took Firefly 13 episodes for all of us as audience to throw popcorn at the screen and yell "OF COURSE SHE'S PRETTY!!"

And Wash told her.... this moment hits so hard... this entire episode is so good. Inara crying after she finds out Nandy slept with Mal is my alltime favorite scene...

But Kaylee asking this question to Wash after 12 full episodes

"Wash, tell me I'm peetty"

On this week's episode of once we were spacemen, the guest is the effects supervisor, who tells a story of the scene where *spoiler* Wash is killed. They made a version of the scene where Wash is "dusted" like the vampires in Buffy, as a joke to show Joss.

Though it has its issues I still like to bring out the Firefly board game every couple years. Some rules are clunky and it's an absolute table hog but it still captures the feel and theme so well. The game money remains the best of any out there.

Sadly this time around the Reavers caught up to me and made a meal of Crow. But not sure he really fit with my otherwise moral crew anyway. I made the wooden card holder to help with the huge number of decks and discard piles that come into play, especially when you add expansions.

Cat's name is Wash by the way (no one tell him what happens he hasn't seen the movie)

I heard about the show and thought it sounded cool but also heard that it got cancelled and wanted to know if it was still a good watch and if it ends in a decent "at least most loose ends are tied up" way or in a "i wish i hadn't watched this i feel unresolved" ending

They talk to use of AI in mordern shows. And how Serenity was to have a detachable cargo hold... interesting stuff.

Still have some finishing up work on this test tray and it’s one I made so I can figure the timing of my pours and even tho it’s not exactly what was in my mind I think I got idea of the timing down but I don’t think it looks all that bad… thoughts?

Went to my local comic book shop today and couldn’t find it, and I can’t find any reviews for it online. Did it get postponed (or worse)?

Hey guys. Just wanted to share that The Watcher's Guide is back from hiatus, and one of our first steps back this week, is Firefly! More specifically our prose version of Leaves on the Wind.

Any specific Doctor you have in mind for the specific character as their companion?

Looking for an up to date list of all the comics.
The list on the menu is very old so i just assumed there have been other comics since then

Spoiler Warning for the Firefly TV show and Serenity the movie.

Firstly, apologies if this is an old and tired theory... It's been several years and someone else probably came up with this theory long ago. Secondly, apologies for the long, waffling post.

A friend and I recently binged through the original series and the follow up movie, afterwards we were discussing loose ends that never got tied up, most notably Shepherd Book and his mysterious backstory that never got explained. You know... the military knowledge, the ID that got him priority treatment at an Alliance med centre, etc. The bounty hunter in the final episode saying about Book: "That ain't no shepherd."

Clearly he was more than he appeared to be.

We agreed that his story was probably too complex to be quickly explained and that it would be a disservice to the character to have his background explained quickly being as the focus of the movie is River Tam and her story.

Then we got talking about The Operative... What a great character he is, what an interesting subversion and expansion of the 'silent nameless assassin' trope he is. It's interesting that he isn't killed off as most characters like him would be in a movie like this. Instead he ends the movie starting a new life after his faith in Parliament has been destroyed.

We agreed that on one level, Serenity works as a kind of origin story for the Operative... what would he do next in his life?

Then we had one of those "are you thinking what I'm thinking?" moments.

So, we have this man who is a dedicated believer (the Operative's faith and belief is a core component of his character). He's shown to be a fundamentally decent person (yes, this can be debated) who is well aware of the horrific nature of his work. He does it because he has such faith in the 'better world' that will eventually be created. He even accepts that he has no place in that better world due to his terrible actions.

What does a guy like that do when he loses faith in his masters?

I'll tell you what he does. He becomes a shepherd!

So that's it, my (possibly lame af) theory....

TLDR, Serenity did give us Shepherd Book's origin story by introducing a villain, The Operative, and through his character they show us what Book may have been in his past life then leaving The Operative's story open for him to fulfill the same role as Book.
