Awesome.
I hope that Joss makes enough money/fame off the Avengers that he can get another Serenity movie or bring back Firefly…
There is no death ray in Dr. Horrible. There's a freeze ray, but its not a death ray, nor an ice beam. That's so Johnny Snow…
At the end you see " Death Ray" taped over where it says Frezze ray.
Wow. Seriously? You realize he was ~quoting~ the movie, right?
I love you.
I dunno, I love Firefly and Serenity (I watch the series and film at least twice a year) but bringing it back just wouldn't feel right. It's like meeting up with an ex you still love. The feelings are still there but something is just different and awkward.
In Croatia 90% of ppl answer they phones saying yes or please! Fun fact! :)
The Mare's Leg pistol Zoe uses is the same one Lord Bowler uses in The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
The 19th thing you didn't know was Firefly was very similar to a show called Starhunter that aired in Canada around 2000-2001.
Actually – I collect cancelled and forgotten sci-fi series – and I'd honestly have to say that Starhunter only has SLIGHT similarity at best.
I saw a few episodes of Starhunter and agree with Kurt. Very few similarities especially when you consider that Starhunter was about bounty hunters and Firefly was about… well their potential bounties…
Mostly I am shocked that it has almost been ten years since it firs aired – WOW
In regards to the "no sound effects in space" … didn't the electric ring that Saffron tried to fly them into have a sound effect?
No not that I remember.
The only sound was during interior shots of the control room.
@ adrian, I'll have to rewatch, but I'm pretty sure it's only heard when the camera view is from the characters inside the ring as background noise..
Good article, but I'll make one correction, the ship isn't "the Serenity", it's just Serenity.
Exactly! I hate it when people call it "The Serenity" Did they actually *watch* the show they're writing about? Grr Arg!
As much as I'd love to see something more out of Firefly, the primary actors/actresses have aged in the past decade, and couldn't pick up where they left off. Ten years is a long time to account for in any tv show or movie, unless you change stars, and that would ruin everything, so we're best left with memories of a great season and our loathing of FOX for messing it all up so royally.
look up images of Cher 30 years ago and today; Alternately look up pictures of Nathan Fillion 10-15 years ago, as opposed to today.
There's so little difference that movie makeup could make them look exactly the same again. Maybe not River, but most of the still living characters, sure.
I loved that series. I've gotten to a point where I only need to see a screenshot from either movie or series and I'd be able to tell you what episode it was from.
The "Han in Carbonite" figure appears visibly in three Episodes; "Shindig", "Jaynestown", and "The Message". That it was in all 14 Episodes is rumored, not fact.
Thank you. I was incredibly dubious of that one.
In one of the opening scenes in BSG (the scene in which Laura Roslin is told she has cancer) a firefly class ship is seen through the window flying by. I almost spit my beer out I was so excited when I saw that.
The one thing I don't know about Firefly is… what the hell is Firefly?
Awesome.
