I am a straight 43 year old man, and i have had a man crush on Nathon Fillion for getting on 20 years, not only cause of the obvious things like Firefly and Castle, but for his non wavering attendances at so many "Cons" over the years, always happy to talk. A real genuine star.

"I've seen enough sci-fi movies to know how planes enter the atmosphere." This is the exact way how space shuttles enter the atmosphere - going reverse in orbit, main thrusters firing to slow down enough to leave the orbit and start falling down, then flip around and angle its belly (the only part which is covered by heat shield) down and towards the front to a) protect the rest of the ship, b) have enough drag to slow down fast enough to fall down even faster. (after that it would be different for shuttles and spaceships since shuttles used their wings to not fall down too fast, spaceship without wings would need to use thrusters)

@geraldfrost4710 2 жыл бұрын

The space shuttle has the aerodynamics of a frying pan. This is on purpose, to shed momentum.

@johanwittens7712 2 жыл бұрын

Was just about to comment exactly the same! Beat me to it... Orbital mechanics are weird but so fun once you get the hang of it. It's a pity so much sci-fi gets this so horribly wrong. The way that reaver ship hits atmosphere is exactly how ships would enter atmosphere in reality. And orbiting a planet is pretty much "falling" too. All you ever do in space is perpetually falling towards one object or another. By firing thrusters or engines all you're really doing is slightly altering your trajectory of "falling". I've heard many a physicist describe being in orbit as perpetually falling towards that planet or body, but going so fast you're perpetually missing it. In space, you're always in orbit of something somehow, and thus always "falling".

One of the great things about this show is the ship, it's one helluva prop. The entire ship is one contiguous set, everything mocked up for actual use. Some of the galley actually functioned as the cast preferred continuing to stay on set, and took their breaks together, on set, in that galley. Each private room was individually furnished and accessed by ladder. And all the amenities and conveniences were thought through before building the ship. At the start of the movie, there's a great one shot, tracking from the bridge past the engine room, the living areas, galley, sickbay, and down to the cargo hold.

The reason the Reaver ship entered the atmosphere that way... Ships go real fast to travel between planets and you can't enter an atmosphere that fast or you'd burn up. So it spun around and did a retroburn to slow down, then spun around again to enter the atmosphere. And yeah i think that is an accurate orientation when landing. Just because you'd seen different on other Sci-Fi movies/TV, doesn't mean this is the one that's wrong.

While _Dortmunder_ is the demonym for a native of Dortmund, Germany, the name of that Alliance cruiser is more likely a reference to John Dortmunder, a character in a series of comic heist novels and stories by Donald E. Westlake, several of which have been adapted to film, notably _The Hot Rock_ (1972) with Robert Redford and George Segal.

@larrystuder8543 2 жыл бұрын

I thought that myself. I heard somebody say in a video from a Con, that Joss needed a name for that ship. He happened to be at a bar and saw a neon sign for Dortmund beer. He liked the sound, so named the ship that. WHICH IS FUNNY, because Donald Westlake once explained that he created Dortmunder after his regular protagonist, Parker, refused to co-operate in a novel that was "too comic", Parker being a serious, tough guy... So Westlake needed a name for his new comical guy. He happened to be in a bar, saw a neon sign for Dortmund beer, and liked the sound..

5:11 Dortmunder is actually a name deriving from a town in Germany. I don't know if the show is referencing anyone in particular by using it, but I can't help but think of the character John Dortmunder from Donald E Westlake's Dortmunder book series. He was a career criminal whose exploits never went according to plan. As I understand it, many of the Dortmunder books were originally intended to be books in Westlake's Parker book series, but he deemed the plots too comical for the ruthless Parker so he created John Dortmunder to be the lead in those stories instead. He's been portrayed onscreen a number of times by the likes of Robert Redford, George C Scott, Paul Le Mat, Christopher Lambert and even Martin Lawrence.

When you're done with _Firefly_ let me suggest you watch the 1967 British spy/sci-fi/surreal series _The Prisoner._ Created by and starring Patrick McGoohan, _The Prisoner_ was also years ahead of its time. It also was cancelled mid-season, only twenty-two episodes being made. Unlike _Firefly,_ which was cancelled pretty much without warning, McGoohan was given enough notice that he was able to write a proper finale episode, which raised as many questions as it answered. It quickly garnered a cult following that continues to this day, with an annual convention held in the resort town that was the main location. It's rather brilliant.

Think of Inara as more of a Geisha. She's been trained since she was young to entertain clients, and it's a respected profession. It fits in with the blend of Western and Eastern (mainly Asian) cultures. All the characters get a surprising amount of development, considering how Fox cut the show short. For the next few episodes, keep in mind that they were also written as "pilots", since Fox for some crazy reason didn't think this particular episode had enough "action" and "appeal" to be the pilot. Don't get me wrong, they're great episodes, but a few people (not me!) feel the episodes don't move the story line forward enough, which is because they were written as pilots rather than regular episodes. We watched it when it originally came out, presented in the order Fox wanted, and it was confusing, but fun, so we stuck around. Glad we did, since when they finally aired this episode it explained everything.

@@fewwiggle the fifth one is more of a tie between all the 90s star trek shows.

I once read a comment about the companion system and Inara that explains it all. The companions are like the old Chinese royal courtisians, the institution is highly respected but the women are not. Mal however, respects Inara but hates the institution.

I appreciate the fact that you all don't constantly talk over dialogue, key plot points, or jokes. Too many "Reactors" don't understand that "reacting" does not necessarily mean talking.

Does that mean we have a chance to see Battlestar Galactica on here? The remake that is. I lovee that frakin show.

Ok, first - the lisp/braces aren't even noticeable unless the Mrs draws attention to them. Hope they aren't taking away from her enjoyment of doing the channel, because you guys are a ball to watch and I like to think you're having a good time providing US with a good time!❤️😀 And then, FIREFLY! One of my faves and so glad to see you pick it. The Mr is obviously familiar with the show - it'll be nice to see the Mrs develop a taste for "coats of a brownish color" as you progress thru the series. Nice job!👍🏼

This could have been one of the biggest series that Fox ever had but they had to screw it up. Definitely one of my favorites. And don't worry about the braces you can hardly even notice.

Nathan Fillion from this point on was just "Oh, you need someone for the part? Hang on.... I have a guy...." EVERY TIME he stars at something, he brings someone along from Firefly. my favorite is him and Adam Baldwin meeting in Castle, each staring at the other like "..... do I know you?" ô0

Because it involved nudity, there was a lot of concern that shooting the scene when Mal discovers River in the cryogenic crate could be traumatically uncomfortable for actress Summer Glau, but, trouper that she is, she eased the tension on the set by taking her position in the crate and asking "Does this make me look fat?"

@thecowboyjesse8780 2 жыл бұрын

The Mrs is sooooo good at predicting plot points. I wish she could look at my life and tell me where I'm going. Also, until you mentioned it during the show, I forgot you had new mouth hardware, so I'd say it's not too bad.

I love that line from Wash at the beginning, "hang on Travellers!" Rumour is that Firefly was based on a game of Traveller that Joss played in college.

In the Buffy pilot, they put one character in the opening credits then killed him permanently just to set the tone. When Kaylee got shot there was a real chance she would die.
