Excellent movie!

Watch Alan Tudyk's series called Con Man. It has alot of the cast from Firefly in it, plus many other Sci Fi favorites and Leslie Jordan. It's about an actor on a cult favorite series that get canceled too early and he gets type cast and has to go to Comicons. It's really funny.

I once told Alan Tudyk at a convention a couple of years ago that I LOVE Firefly and Serenity but my favorite role with him is "A Knight's Tale"

How do reavers clean their weapons? They run them threw the wash

@@YeOldeLord Ouch. 👍😉

Yeah it felt like it could have been literally anyone, even Mal. Though I guess at the time they would have hoped to continue the story further so you definitely would have needed at least Mal and River to do that.

A masterclasses in raising the stakes.

​@@YeOldeLord Oooh. 😵 Dry, very dry.

A popular fan theory is that Book is a former operative himself.

The comic books are Must Have books, if you're wanting to find out more. Especially about Shepherd

You call it sneaky, I call it good writing. While most viewers, including me, probably miss all of these and some call them clues or signaling or setting the scene or whatever, the point is to have a logical connection between things happening earlier and later. It would be poor form to have a script, where things just happen over a longer period of time without logical connection. Now, unconnected, ordinary things happen all the time, but a script consists of selected scenes during a period of time that tell a coherent story. That is why it exists. Having unconnected scenes would feel choppy and unconnected and it would baffle the audience. There are e.g. some comedies, that feel like they were written by TV sketch show writers, which look like normal movies, but simply do not work, because the sketch-like scenes lack the connecting tissue that turns them into a movie. They may touch all the bases and go through the motions, but because the scenes lack a purpose, the movie basically falls apart. The female-version of Ghostbusters comes to mind: It has a bunch of unconnected sketches and then you get a boring CGI battle. Whereas the original Ghostbusters has set-up scenes, character introduction or progression, or advancement of the story, the female version is unconnected and pointless (nevermind that the reason for making the movie seems equally pointless). If you're going to condense, say, two weeks of people's lives into a two-hour movie, you are not going to "select" random timeslots as scenes with them sleeping or going to bathroom or having some pointless discussion for no reason, you are going to "pick" scenes that either depict a logical connection or progression of the story, some important aspects of their personality or relations or to set the scene for the story somehow or have some other purpose of being shown. Viewers of art-house cinema might be absolutely thrilled to see a bunch of pointless and boring scenes depicting very ordinary bits of normal life, but for most people the point of a film isn't all meta, but instead, regardless of any another level or moral of the story, etc., existing, there is a front-and-center, surface-level story, for some definition of story, which anchors the message or feeling or whatever in place and makes the movie enjoyable to watch. It also makes it easier to think of and to recognise and to even care about the other levels or aspects, because there is an easier-to-remember structure giving the meta level its life and context.

Especially the original movie with Rutger Hauer!

@@paulsander5433 , I think Joss Whedon has disowned that film. Too different from his original script. All the more reason his original script needs to be used for a theatrical BUFFY reboot.

Definitely! It'll make her smile after this ha ha

And Resident Alien.

Actually the fans of Farscape did it long before. The fans even bought the cover of Variety in a bid to raise interest in the show. It surprised the producers that fans knew how to make a media buy when even they didn't know how to do it. Eventually a miniseries was made to wrap up the biggest dangling storylines. Also, Crackers Don't Matter.

Can't find them. ???

That may get me on patreon, broke as I am. 😂 Firefly is too special.

Thank you so much for bringing up such a painful subject. While you're at it, why don't you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?! .

@@sean---the-other-one Settle down, or I'll call the Brute Squad. 😁

@@olddog330 I’m ON the Brute Squad.

Castle had so many fun references to Firefly, too. The writers were definitely fans.

I've always thought that when a show is cancelled, especially if its going to be on a cliffhanger, the creators should be allowed to make one more final episode, either normal length or feature length in order to finish off the story. It might not be the ending the creators originally wanted and it may feel rushed but at least it would be an ending of some kind for the fans.

Huge “Firefly” fan here & I couldn’t agree more. Seriously, what would they do with a re-boot? A new cast playing the original characters? That would be bullish!t. At best they could do what was done in the ‘80’s when they brought back “Star Trek”. Firefly: the Next Generation. Ugh! Cringe.

@@JohnWelsh-oz3jz Maybe more stuff in the same universe? That would feel so weird though.

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like banana.

Dude..."underrated"? lololololololol

The truth is something along those lines.

Dasha, I am sorry to tell you but Amazon’s Lord of the Rings show was insulting garbage.

​@@barreloffun10that was a mistake. She actually just started Game of Thrones .

@@tonyrossell832 Well, that's better (at first)

I think the marketing for Serenity was terrible.

How do you clear out a room full of Reavers? You run a River through it.

It's a nice theory, but based on how long the Reavers had been around and STILL be an urban legend, my guess is that whatever erasures the Alliance used were working. The show let us know that the Alliance, despite being in charge, were still up to unsavory things of unknown purpose. So River was probably just part of another program to upgrade the Alliance's paranoid stranglehold on their empire.

One would assume that any country and empire would study and research people showing psychic powers, the problem is that The Alliance (or at least supported by some groups in parliament) did it in a horrible and evil way. I'm not really sure if The Alliance is completely evil as we usually view them from the perspective of their enemy. We clearly see there's some pretty horrible stuff going on on the less "civilized" planets/moons. Let's not forget that the browncoats are based on the Confederation from the US civil war. I like that we get to see that neither of the two sides are all evil or all good @@Theomite

LOL what??

I agree. It's full of rare, sexy coinky dinks.

Everyone else was thinking it... They were just too stunned to speak.
