The special FX company that did both series included a Firefly class ship in the the first episode of BSG, as a tribute to Firefly.

So the second language that you hear them speaking occasionally is Mandarin Chinese. In the background lore of the series; the US and China merged into a United Global Superpower that effectively ended up running the entire planet as "the Alliance" that they were fighting against at the start of the series. As such; not only will you see plenty of Asian-inspired practices throughout the show; but 90% of all people are natively bilingual as a result of the common history before they started getting spread around the galaxy. (Also; it doubles as a TV-friendly way to get expletives past the radar. If you ever want to know how to swear in Chinese; just copy whatever you hear the characters say during high pressure moments~ )

I can't confirm that this is true, but from what I understand, one reason this show was so good was that Joss Whedon took all the main actors out for a couple weeks in an isolated cabin. They spent the time playing role-playing games with each of them playing their characters. Giving them time to develop their personalities, their quirks and their interpersonal relationships. So that when the show started they had a much fuller idea of who they were playing and how they got along. Most shows, even the really good ones, take the first season or so to get that, whereas they were able to portray that out of the gate. I don't know if this is true, but I hope it is, and I wish more directors would do this, as it is a brilliant technique.

@@awkwardashleigh You seem a little confused about the story of the show. It was aired for the 2002 season and cut before it finished it's story. Corporate CEO's don't care very much about Sci-Fi shows because sometimes the budget is more than the show brings in at the beginning, they can't see the future of syndication at the CEO brain level until after it brings in billions, so they just cut the show for some sports garbage or reality TV garbage that has no special effects and no budget. All they care about is instant profit at "0" cost. That's why the Sci-Fi channel failed when they started airing ghost's and WWF instead of Sci-Fi movies. Low budget & low IQ audience. Anyway there was a big explosion of criticism towards the network for their constant habit of cutting Sci-Fi shows in the middle of a story and after 4 yrs they decided to make a movie to end the story and it broke the bank. They keep doing the same thing with Sci-Fi to this day, if it's not an instant box hit they trash it and replace it with a no budget show for low IQ people like themselves. It's like a good wine or whiskey, you don't drink it from the barrel, it needs to age and develop with time. The 2005 movie Serenity is a closure to the series and has references to all the previous shows built in, so wait until you've seen all the shows before watching the movie. They did the same with "Farscape", they canceled the series and after a year or more of blow back they made "The Peace Keeper Wars" to complete the story line. Look at "Lost in Space" after 60 yrs, 2n TV series & 3 movies their still lost in limbo because it didn't make an instant profit. Same goes for "Stargate Universe" stuck in limbo. If it's labeled Sci-Fi it's destined to limbo because it requires an IQ over a single digit to comprehend the story and a budget higher than free to produce.

Please watch all 14 episodes and keep these reaction videos coming as quickly as you can. Coincidentally, I just started watching Firefly again, the day before you did. I'd been putting off watching the season again, because the DVDs I have now were recently returned to me, after the death of my father. They had been a father's day gift to him quite some years ago. He also enjoyed sci-fi westerns and western sci-fi, which is where I got to be a fan of Firefly and shared it with him while he was still alive. I knew that watching Firefly again would be very emotional and somewhat difficult, as memories of my dad would be brought up. It was very nice to find that you're watching these for the first time, as your genuine reactions make the difficulty of watching these alone and missing my dad be not quite so lonely or feeling like the experience is in isolation. I'm anxiously awaiting the next episodes. Thank you.

Because the official name of the Alliance is the 'Sino (Chinese)-American Alliance'. So, Chinese is spoken as much as English. -One of the major themes of the show is the concept of 'Freedom vs. Security'. The Alliance offers an amazing amount of security, at the cost of individual liberties and freedoms. The Browncoats fought to remain free of Alliance control. Neither position is necessarily wrong or right, it's just a matter of what you are comfortable with: Security with less freedom or Freedom with far less security (medical aid, protection from Reavers, etc.) -Nerd Trivia: When Mal fires the Anti-Aircraft gun, the targeting display has the corporate symbol of Weyland-Yutani; the megacorp from the Alien franchise -Mal was brought up rather religious, but lost his faith at the Battle of Serenity Vale.

There is the shot where the preacher is down on his knees and Inara stands in front of him and puts her hand on his head. It is mimicking Catholic absolution where the priest absolves you of your sins. This would normally be a priest doing this to a sinner (like a prostitute), but this is scene totally flips it upside down and the Companion is granting absolution to the priest.

See I recognize Deadpool's girlfriend as the companion from Firefly. Speaking of Vanessa it's a crime that they took away her mutant powers for the movie. She was a shape shifter in the comics. In fact Domino's first appearance in comics wasn't actually Domino, it was Vanessa copying Domino! She could copy people and even copy their powers when she copied their DNA.

Dear AA, I have been watching your videos for a long while but finally needed to comment. I am a Gen Xer so I laugh a lot seeing you experience media I grew up with, from John Carpenter to Star Wars. The thing is, I was binging some of your videos in the background while working on grading papers (gotta feed that algorithm) when I came across one that I cannot find at the moment, where you were in tears, openly talking about your mental and emotional health. I was shocked at how much I identified with you in that moment (I have a generalised anxiety disorder and PTSD from teaching public school). I realised that age, distance, life experience, all that means nothing compared to the fact that we're all just people, fighting our battles (usually in silence) and making it through the day. You do such a great job of being positive and supporting of your fans and this whole community, and we notice. We care that you care. I am a big Firefly fan, and I am about to start watching this reaction. Before I do, I want you to know that my girlfriend, myself, and our chonky boi Tacocat all love and care about you, Beans, and the oft-referenced "hubband." We are always here for you, just like you're here for us. Love always, M, R, and TC

The Browncoats was one of the earliest online communities, formed after the cancellation of the series. The Browncoat community was huge and successfully lobbied for the movie Serenity. They really made it happen. The producers opted for a unique marketing strategy, showing parts of the movie at conventions long before the movie came out, and had a special showing for bloggers a few days before the official opening night. It turned out to be one of the best science fiction movies ever made.

When I was in college, my mom was dating a man who worked at master control at a local Fox station. One day, he brought home two pilots for shows that were going to be airing, for us to watch before they actually premiered. Both were really good, in their own ways. One was Arrested Development, but the other was Firefly. I'm thankful to this day that I was able to see the pilot first, because when they were first coming out, Fox aired that one last. It's actually why the Train Job is structured the way it is, because it was done with the realization that it would be the first aired episode. If you notice, the beginning of it reintroduces us to the entire cast, but at least succinctly. Also, it made Mal a bit more cheerful and jokey, and introduced the larger-than-life villain in Niska, both because of things the network didn't like about the pilot. Luckily, the changes still work with what the pilot established. As with every video of yours, I recommend the movie Imagine Me & You, as well as Zsazsa Zaturnnah.
