If you ever feel stupid remember: you didn't cancel Firefly.
Firefly should have been on for 10 seasons.
I will forever hate the prick executive who made the decision to cancel. 😤
Wish it had
42 seasons 😂
Firefly is going to come back in the future 😂
Nah, 6 seasons and a movie.
Not TV but the Halo game "ODST" is full of Firefly references:
- Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, and Adam Baldwin are all members of the cast
- Random marines/ODSTs will say "gorram"
- Baldwin's character will sometimes call his weapon "Vera"
- Tudyk's character is the ODST squad's pilot
- The achievement for lighting a Drone on fire with a fire grenade is called "Firefly"
Nice, thanks for the hints!
There's also times where the marines say "Shiny" when something cool happens or when they kill covenant forces
Yes 🙌 ODST is my favorite Halo and this is a big reason why.😊
There's another bit in Castle where Filllian starts speaking Chinese, and says something about picking it up from a show he loved.
I believe also that they also referenced “shiny” a few times for a drug they’re trying to get off the streets I think, been a long time since I watched Castle.
Theres a few others like a scene Castle puts on blue latex gloves and puts up 2 fingers up on each hand in a fluid motion. 2 by 2, hands of blue.
Then a scene where he tries to shoot a guy, ends up shooting the guys gun. Beckett says "hell of a shot Castle" Castle replies with "I was aiming for his head." Last reference, I remember is in a later season Castle and Beckett are investigating a murder at a Scifi con at an Exhibit for a scifi show called "Nebula 9". Castle pokes fun at her for liking it and lists off a few "good" Scifi shows, last one he references is "That one Joss Whedon show"
And many of the crew has had guestroles on castle. Torres, glau, staite and Baldwin from memory.
Castle's mom and daughter going to a spa retreat called Serenity.
Mom to Castle: [incredulously] *_"You've never heard of Serenity?"_*
Missed another one in castle, castle says I was aiming for his head after the first time using a gun, which was a reference to the scene in the episode train job.
Yeah, thanks for the hint! There's also a another "shiny" reference in Chuck - but I mostly try to pick one reference per TV Show. :)
@@numbnuts Castle also hold up 2 Fingers while wearing blue gloves (Two by two, hands of blue).
Isn't there another one, where Castle speaks mandarin and says he learned it from a TV show he used to love? xD
@@sweeps3360 @eva tesche I didn't knew about those! :)
Never really watched castle. Caught episodes here and there.
Didn't a few Firefly actors appear on Castle as well?
It is a crime against the sci-fi genre that they cancelled Firefly.
The Serenity flyby in the pilot to the 2004 Battlestar Galactica series is a good one.
I'm gonna have to pop that disc in again. I just watched BSG not to long ago. Been trying to find models for both Firefly and BSG.
@@airhammer6203Yeah, I’d go for a Firefly model!
3:16
"Girl's a math genius, can't even figure out how to call Serenity."
Love your Username @Happy Slapsgiving!
In the Percy Jackson movie (terrible movie, but Nathan Fillion was awesome as Hermes) Hermes is commenting on a fictional show "Best TV show ever, so of course....cancelled" (stares in the distance)
The Dollhouse one is subtle and brilliant. But, considering it's another Whedon show, that's not at all surprising.
I love Dollhouse! It’s a shame they rushed season two I felt it would have been better if they could have taken their time and done the plot justice. I know they were worried cancelation and rightly so, but it jumped the shark with season 2.
There are cows in space.
See Episode 5, "Safe"
You missed one from Big Bang Theory where Sheldon says the president of FOX is nr 1 on his arch-enemies list for cancelling Firefly.
Also when Sheldon and Leonard are filling out the roommate agreement and agree to set aside time each week to watch Firefly.
There will never be enough of these! I think Phineas & Ferb had one. It was playing in the background and caught my attention but sadly, there's never another browncoat around to validate.
Thanks for the hint! :)
The one on Chuck was a Firefly reunion!
I believe there are Reavers in the background in one of the boxes/cages of Cabin in the Woods. Which would make sense as Josh Whedon was involved in writing/producing of the film.
I completely forgot Summer Glau guest stared on Chuck
you forget where Sheldon mentions Firefly being on forever in TBBT episode of Lenard moving in with Sheldon
And where he says the president of FOX is nr 1 on his arch-enemies list for cancelling Firefly.
fuck that show. Summer needs a better agent.
I think I'll go rewatch the entire thing again. For the... I forgot how many times.
There’s a great one in the Killing. Joel Kinneman has a tattoo across his chest that says “Serenity”. Jewel Staite plays his girlfriend. She says “serenity? Sounds like a strippers name.”
So many shows that didn't get axed ..that will never get a mention anywhere and nobody cares about. I hope all those responsible go to a:
' special .... '
You are very welcome to mention them right, here right now! :)
You know it occurred to be that it would not take much cannon juggling to put "Cowboy Bebop" and "Firefly" in the same universe. How cool would it be for the Firefly to be chased down by the crew of the Bebop, and a gunfight ensue between Malcom, Cobb, Spike, and Jet. In the end Jet and Spike let the Firefly escape when they realize how corrupt the people who put the bounty on them were.
Sounds awesome! ;)
Except that in Firefly Earth was, well, “Earth that was”, and the verse is some other solar system entirely while in Bebop Earth is just fine and dandy.
You produce the graphic novel, I'll buy it twice.
First episode of Firefly Mal uses an anti air/space emplaced gun and when he activates the HUD to aim it starts up with a Weyland-Yutani logo visible. That puts Firefly in the same universe as the Aliens Movies. Those movies have crossovers with the predator franchise AND they mention that the Tyrel corporation was a competitor for W-Y. The movie Soldier was supposed to start with the battle of Tanhauser gate that was mention in Blade Runner and while that was cut for budget reasons it is mentioned on screen in his military service record and one of the flying cars being seen in a junkyard. So if you want an extended universe Soldier, The Blade Runner moves, The Alien movies, the Predator movies, and the series of Firefly and the following movie Serenity are all set in the same shared universe just at different points in the timeline with the Predator franchise going back several hundred years so I think it would be the earliest and I think Serentiy being the farthest forward since it is around 500 years in the future.
If you want to go into comics and other stuff that may or may not be canon there are even more things that could be linked in like the fact that Batman fought a Predator once but the stuff I listed was all on screen in shows and movies
@@hackerx7329 From what I read up in the making of books they re-used a lot of sci-fi props to offset the cost of production, for example the uniforms of the Alliance guards are Starship Trooper costumes and repurposed guns. So it could just be just a means of saving money instead of connecting universes. But cool if it’s on purpose.
Love all these. Except big bang theory. Man that one sticks out as just being pandering schlock instead of loving tribute.
It's not my favorite either, to be honest.
100%
The better one in BBT was when Nathan Fillian made a cameo as himself.
@@taun856 I missed that. :(
Didn’t Sheldon once say there are two there were three people he never trust or something, Leonard, Darth Vader and Rupert Murdoch because he owns FOX, the network that canceled Firefly?
You missed one from Castle... although subtle he swears in chinese and makes an off hand reference.
Serinity had a cameo in Ready Player One.
I love Firefly.
I wish Disney hadn't gotten its mitts on it.
If Disney starts to continue Firefly, we'd be looking at another Star-Wars-situation there.
Indeed. Firefly as we know it would be dead.
No way they would allow a Malcome Reynolds type character in the lead. Let alone Jayne.
@@DocMicrowave correctly.
@@DocMicrowave I mean, it already is dead. A more accurate comparison would be that instead of bringing it back to life, they would turn it into a horrible Frankenstein monster-kind of undead mess which would have been better left dead.
@@jessiehogue. It is indeed dead. And deserves to be remembered for what it was. A uniquely interesting and very entertaining show, that cannot be duplicated in this day and age.
Ahhh chuck ❤️
underrated show
That's it, I'm watching the series again.
Can only handle so many Firefly recommendations, and once you click on one you get more...
Enjoy! ;)
3:18 Do I really need to be the guy who says "It's just Serenity"?
I've corrected multiple people on this. I'm sorry, it just drives me crazy. Even the channel SciTrek, a Sci-fi channel, continues to do it. If they specify it in the actual show, as Inara did, respect it.
Firefly and Jericho, both shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I have to rewatch chuck
Superb Vid And Yet There Are More. One Of The Best SciFy Shows Ever.
Serenity appears in Ready Player One at the start of the final battle
If I had a dollar for every time Nathan Fillion played a space cowboy with Gina Torres I’d have two dollars which isn’t much but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
God dammit now I have to watch Firefly again!
Shouldn't that be 'Gorram It!!!"?
There is also a subtle reference in the tv show The Killing, the male lead has a "Serenity" chest tattoo and his girlfriend is played by Jewel Staite, who played Kaylee in Firefly
Thank you!!!
Was gonna say you forgot percy jackson, but you specified tvshows.
Castle one was great
There are actually multiple references to firefly in castle.
Browncoats unite!
i got the shiny part in this username :)
You should see the Firefly parody called "Mosquito".
Now I do too
I will never forgive FOX for cancelling Firefly
Battlestar Galactica had one
what is the Eliza Dushku show?
You can find all the shows (in order of appearance) in the descirption :)
Dollhouse. It's actually worth a watch if you can get through the first 6 episodes or so.
@@takewithfood Thanks for the tip! :)
there were like 13 blatent firefly references on castle alone lol
On Blindspot, Patterson mentions her boyfriend's Firefly DVDs.
Thanks for the hint!
This should mostly be Castle
There could be like a half an hour video on their references alone.
Fox! what "geniuses"!..
Little did we know, Nathan Fillion really needed to move on from his Firefly role.
which ep is that from TBBT?
It's from "The Terminator Decoupling" you can find every episode listed in the desciption with an imbd link.
1:30 and he became a serial killer
You missed more from Castle.
Thanks for the hint. I try to limit myself to one example per Show per video :) But I'll check out the other ones
@@numbnuts Most are from Castle I think.
Was it really that good of a show? What's it about?
space cowboys and space zombies
Apparently Disney owns the rights now ... Oh God no please no
Jesus that made me depressed.
The Big Bang Theory really stands out here as being complete ass.
Most overrated show ever. Trash show.
And yet you clicked on this video 😂
@@theeyeinside3856 Nope. Popped up on the home page, clicked to post a comment, kick back and laugh at guys like you. Didn't watch one second of it. Hahahaha!!!
@@stanley-fghijk441 I love guys who post crap like this, then sit back, steeple their fingers, and laugh manically at their dastardly brilliance. Right before sipping wine as pretentiously as possible.
It does make me feel a bit better that my life isn't anywhere near as sad so.. thanks.
@@SunGawdRa Loooove the dorky, whedony snark. Right on brand for a firefly-obsessed loser like yourself. Just... perfection.
Gotta say, really enjoy proving there are still losers like you out there so deeply invested in this mediocre, cringy TV show that they take any slight to it personally. It's awesome to know no matter how far I fall, I'll never be as embarrassing as a simp like you who defines himself through a TV show no one watched🤣. Thanks!
@@SunGawdRa People like Stanley are dead inside, imagine living like that.
