Same

@@medleystudios72 Same here. It was a shame to cancel this show

The name of the episode was "Out of Gas", and it is one of my top 5 fave episodes of the series. My first, being "Jaynetown". But the look on Mal's face when he first saw Serenity? That's how you know a man has fallen in love.

I couldn't POSSIBLY love this comment more.

Simply beautiful. I’m always drawn back to Firefly occasionally to remind me that no matter the show’s premise, if the themes are strong enough, you can tell any story: freedom, loyalty, found family, love, finding a place you belong in a world that hates you, freeing yourself of your past and becoming the person you want to be more than anything.

@@masonhebb402 In all honesty, it's hard to pick the best, much less the top 5. All the episodes are just the best. Each in their own special ways.

You are mistaken. Weathered old hound is no comparison

I'm pretty sure the second quote is "You don't know me, so I'm gonna explain this once. I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed."

I also love "I aim to misbehave"

Sci-Fi show with no aliens. Man, what a show!

Sci-Fi show with no aliens. Man, what a show!

Though he did kick that one guy into the engine who was unarmed

In the end we can't avoid completely joining Mal in it's desire to go back, continue and get more Serenity. But they can't take the sky from us as well. We just rewatch it again and again.

Cancelling it and airing the episodes out of order making people confused as hell

Your preaching to the choir brova

It was part of Fox's ongoing methods of " _Get sci-fi show then cancel it!_ " other show that followed this pattern was Space: Above and Beyond, and probably lots more.

@@Zeithri Wow, it's been awhile since someone mentioned Space: Above & Beyond. Yes, that was also a great sci-fi show. Not quite as good as Firefly, in my opinion, but a great show nonetheless.

+Scott Johnson It might have been the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong side

The Alliance supports slavery. The Browncoats are the Union, but they lost this time

The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. The war was over whether or not Sates had the right to secede from the Union. It's funny that southerners refer to it as the "War of Northern Aggression", when it was the Confederates who fired the first shots at Fort Sumter.

Lincoln, despite being the liberal party of the north, the republican's, presidential candidate, was well recorded as not being bold enough to fight the issue of slavery, believing it would tear the union apart, which he did not want to be remembered for. The south had had steadily growing tensions of slavery and other issues and when the republican candidate won they feared that he would support the republican homeland's policies and views-the north. So they quickly began to work to secede in hopes of escaping all of this, and though the tensions were strong war was inevitable over rather or not this rogue state was legitimate and legal. The emancipation proclamation itself was a far afterthought meant to punish the south and weaken their economy during the war-in fact states that stayed loyal like missouri kept their slaves until the ammendment was passed later on. That said, the cultural divide between north and south was growing both over slavery and other issues. If the south hadn't of started a war over it there's a strong possibility the north would have instead-and I dont mean the civil war proper. If the south hadn't of seceded there may of been popular cause for the north to do so instead. There were too many issues dividing the two and the political battles between them taking place out west ensured that tensions would only be settled when one side enforced on the other. That said, both sides like to tell a different story that makes them seem like the hero, however generally any story where there's a clear cut hero is at least 50% lies. There is no black and white in the world, only grey. If you want to claim true objectivity than there are pretty no issues where you shouldn't be at war with both sides, because the truth never fully supports a side like they try to say it does.

Damn straight.

8 years later... Still holds up!

October 2023: still holding up.

@@nonnyena4267 I mean, it does look aged in a lot of moments but that doesn’t matter because the show is carried by its amazing storytelling.

morbidgypsy they killed it off because it was waking people up. What do you think is happening right now? The alliance is winning. Put on your god damn coat and fight

@@stevedave5748 New recruit weasel Sir! I watched the show 3 weeks ago and have now decided to be retroactively for the past 17 years!

@@stevedave5748 we need to band together to fight as one not as sencless goram fools brown coats for ever

@@winterweasel425 Watched the show 4 months ago and over 20 time since then. New recruit is in board.

They sold it off to Disney. There are numerous rumors that Disney is going to bring it back it one form, or another, but nothing's been announced.

You find someone willing to realise your a self absorbed pos and they shoot you. Edit: im not wrong. Thats how that story played out

Im a mean old man

Gotta see this series too. Love the song and video.

+Emma Kuhn I thought the lyric was 'a barren planet you never can leave' which could refer to either. But some of the canon books do refer to Hera as being populated and economically recovering after the War, so you could also be right.

@@adajanetta1 Doesn't matter, could still be Shadow… But at the same time - Hera was a Browncoat world. The Aliance destroyed pretty much everything when they descended on the world and now have to rebuild it. Hence - the Hera that Mal holds dear does not exist anymore. It's not a free Browncoat planet, it's the same Aliance military crap as the rest of the worlds, be it Outer Worlds or the Inner Planets...

And then there's the explanation of why Kaylee and Inara joined the crew. So much character detail left unexplored because they thought they'd get more time.

It refers to hara you ever ask a millitary man he will tell you you never really ever leave a place you lost a a lot of friends in battle at least not in your mind .

@@solosailingboatlife7203 It's even mentioned in one of the episodes. The inability to ever entirely leave such a place. Bushwacked I believe?

Connor Sorrick maybe, just maybe we'll rise again.

The Captain and Wash have a plan to bring it back. Both actors are in an ad running on You Tube about it. How the story will work with Wash dead, I'm not sure, though certainly there have been characters in other films and shows who didn't stay dead.

Good luck!

Nice we were gonna name our second child Malcom if it was a boy, instead we got a Kaylee

Reading this now, Jan. 2023. Your son will be 11 this year. Totally awesome!

I saw this on Syfy, but never was able to watch all of the episodes because Syfy wouldn't keep them on a schedule, I went to best buy once and saw the whole ten episodes pack and bought them, the when the Serenity movie came out I bought that too, they had 3/4 of them on Saturday night

Same

+Ben Wall same

+Ben Wall Yep.

I would too

+Ben Wall same here to this very day I still wish it was back

A bit late, but... Hell, itt was. The whole 'muffled sounds in space' thing, for instance, 'Battlestar Galactica' was sooo praised for was downright stolen from 'Firefly'. And a space show with no aliens whatsoever, what a crazy thought! And by the way, this whole show featured more actually strong and independent women, with _four_ of them on the Serenity alone, than all those god damn 'woke' bullshit shows nowadays.

@@Furzkampfbomber issue is the only women they’d consider strong is Zoe and even that’s questionable due to her being married to Wash. a modern show wouldn’t have them married and wash would just be an idiot trying to win her over and failing constantly. Enara does sex stuff so she’s out since she’s to feminine. Kyle doesn’t beat the shit out of people and needs the ‘strong men’ to save her. River has a mental and needs her big brother to keep her out of trouble. Now while here in reality we understand this is all surface level and there is much more to their characters. But we all know a modern firefly wouldn’t be anything like it was back then.

@@Wesley-1776 I think your analysis nailed it quite nicely. The fun thing about Enara is that companions are considered _very_ powerful and influential, that their service is not about sex at all (although it _can_ be part of it), that the most powerful people in the system stand in line for an appointment and that it is absolutely not unusual that companions turn an offer from one of them down if they consider the customer (which can be both men or women) not worthy of their service. But nowadays, you are absolutely right, they need to look and act in a way woke people think men generally act, i.e. as immature, rude and reckless as possible, while men need to be painted as villains and drooling idiots and kicked into the sand. Hell, I can't even imagine movies like Alien and Aliens being made anymore. Ripley would be way too feminine nowadays and even Vasquez from Aliens, who _might_ tick all the woke boxes at first glance, is way too feminine as well in the end and never seems to disdain her own femininity _and,_ capital crime, she sees and treats her the male Marines as equals and is perfectly capable to stand her own ground amongst them without permanently belittling them.

+The Christian Business Network Forum "Remember: I can kill you with my brain." You never underestimate River Tam!

@@TheArchermonkey Still not convinced that she could beat Jayne in a serious fight one on one without weapons.Pretty good fight though.

@@M.P.Athletics She does not need to fight him, but just has to offer him a better job...

@@Furzkampfbomber Yeah ok, you got a point there.

I don't think the ship will sail again, but I keep going on that ship, a few times a year.

You can be a brown coat right now. You're a slave to the system, fight!

And fox played the episodes out of order which was a mindfuck. It was like...are these episodes supposed to be serialized or not, because they are talking to each other like we're supposed to remember past events, but it hasn't happened yet.

+Counterattack ;)

Because of the memories. When I close my eyes I can see myself on the Serenity 😍

Ellen Cole The fact that they thought a sci-fi show appealing to women was a bad thing is incredibly depressing.

Well, if this is the same FOX that runs FOX News, then I can see why they thought that.
