"Out of Gas" is my favourite. The main story's good, but the little flashbacks to how the crew of Serenity came together are pure gold! I love a nice bit of backstory. =)
Mine too. And it’s a totally unique story. Out of all the sci-fi spaceship stories you never really see one just break down for no reason and leave them stuck in space.
Absolutely - same. The cinematography, the story structure, the editing, the performances, the transitions between the different time period scenes....Out of Gas was a perfect little nugget of television.
Agreed. The filling in of backstory is a trope I kinda enjoy. It's why I'm not really upset with the Train Job being the first aired episode. I sensed a history there and wanted to know more. Everything else... the action and adventure... gave me reason to want to know more. I was pulled in.
My favorite is how Jane came to be on Serenity.
3 temporal lines (present, what happen before the explotion and flashbacks) narrated with so mastery. One of the best episodes of any series. And the ending man, the face of Mal "Son, you hear a word I been sayin'?"
Jubil Early: I am gonna walk around talking crazy and creep people out.
River Tam: Hold my Fruity Oaty Bar, I'll show you how it's done.
They make a man out of a mouse!
Oaty bar 😂
“Shouldn’t River of sensed him?”
Could that be why she tried to get a gun?
When Mal surprise stumbled upon Early we see that Early is a very capable combatant (River also implies that even bad-ass Zoë couldn’t take him). He seemingly could of just fought through the crew to his objective. Instead though, he “reads” each of them and figures the most efficient way to deal with each one of them: He simply locks the fighters (Zoë, Jayne, Mal) up in their rooms; He petrified Kaylee with fear by the idea behind a single vile and graphic threat; he stops Inara from talking so she can’t use her Psychology on him; and he gets the Doctors cooperation by both holding out hope and threatening Kaylee. So what do you think it means that he determined that the most efficient way to deal with Book was an overwhelming surprise blitz knockdown?
“That ain’t no Shepherd.”
Book didn't have a chance to tell his story and no I don't think the comic counts.
That's a brilliant analysis.
I think Book was an Operative like the one from Serenity. He just got sick of all the blood on his hands and wanted repentance. An Abbey didn't fit him either so he went wandering, and found our crew.
@@Mortismors IDK, would an exoperative be able to have the benefits of Alliance medical attention? His med id seems to give him priority level access since Alliance officers were not concern of lethal injury if he was just a common citizen.
@@Mortismors I think operatives need to be a bit more pathological than Book was, they wouldn't feel guilt or want repentance because they're not capable. Book may have been a bounty hunter though, which may be why another bounty hunter knew he wasn't a shepherd.
Will we ever know...
First reactor I've seen that recognized or at least mentioned the similarities between River and Early.
"Sadly, Fox took he sky from all of us ."
"Bastards."
The reaction of every Browncoat..
"Well, here I am" sums up my reaction to the series ending pretty accurately.
Serenity flies on, leaving us aimlessly floating through space? exactly that.
Having watched the full series of both Buffy & Angel & Dollhouse several times, I can see how this would have had so many great twists and turns over a 5-7 season run if Fox had not been such assholes.
Teenage Mutant Fox TV Programmers!
When I consider how good Buffy got after the first season, I get sad & a little angry, thinking about how great this show could’ve been if it would’ve made it to 5 or 6 seasons😞😡😞😡
Prof. Farnsworth and Bender had a few things to say about FOX/BOX Network, too.
Alan Tudyk as "Alpha" in Dollhouse is probably my favorite of his roles from any tv series or movie (that I've seen). Wash from Firefly is a close second.
Yeah watching Buffy just renewed my hatred for Fox because I KNOW this should would have been legendary.
So, the episode starts with voices as we zoom through the grate to see River. One of the voices is Early's.
River wanders through the ship and winds up with a gun. Why? To prepare for the threat she only half perceives?
Mal says, No touching guns.
River proceeds to deal with Early without using guns and in fact echoing the "no guns" to Mal later.
It's all there and I never noticed it until someone else pointed it out. Wow!
I'm glad you covered this information. No need for me to repeat it. +1 like.
she didn't try to get the gun. that's wishful/biased thinking. remember, you're seeing HER perspective. The show makes that very clear. she stumbled into the gun and had no clue what it was, what it was be used for, or why she would even want it. "does it have a purpose?" You can't ignore the fact that you're seeing her perspective 100% in the beginning. She has telepathy but doesn't know everything. "I understand but don't comprehend." She's hearing thoughts but doesn't comprehend the intricacies of them. She sees objects but doesn't comprehend their complex applications. When she "zones" out her ability to take in information increases but her ability to process that information beyond an instinctual/primal level decreases. What does a gun look like to an animal? a shiny stick. When she's more a normal domestic/mundane girl, she's communicating with only words, not thoughts (her telepathy is reduced and not hyper-active), but comprehends better (which is why she interacts better when relaxed as a girl with kayley and is better relatable).
When she woke, she heard the thoughts of another unknown party (jubayl) through telepathic proximity but could not comprehend them. They confused her, which is why she woke confused and disoriented and wandering aimlessly with her mind amplified (like in seek mode), probably searching for the source of the mysterious thoughts she detected.
perhaps she did not use guns because mal told her no guns, or perhaps just because she likes games and wanted to use her mind to win. also possibly because jubayl's stronger/faster/better with guns, it would be foolish to try to beat him in a gun fight.
@@unclebounce1495 It is kinda odd how people can completely ignore how the subconscious works. She didn't cut Jayne's shirt or rip the labels off the cans knowingly and equally unknowingly she tries to get a gun... or a neat stick to hit the threat with.
@@michaelklaus Yes, she did. That's exactly how it happened. You're assuming she is in the same mental state on those compared occasions. She's clearly not. again, the director makes her perspective very clear. It's not subtle. it's not abstract. She is in a state of delusion, like when she has her fits earlier on and doesn't realize where she's at or who anyone is. That is NOT the case with the knife. She showed no sign of confusion. The cans she was not confused either, per se, just hysterical (with the confusion intrinsic in that state). But it's not like she didn't see cans. She saw the cans and intentionally unwrapped them. She saw the boxes/bags and opened/unwrapped them. She treated each object as it actually was, not like a hallucination. The gun situation is clearly hallucinatory delusions. You're similarly deluded if you can't see that.
@@unclebounce1495 Nice insult. You are still wrong though since this scene first introduces us to her point of view where in the other scenes we were supposed to wonder what was going through her head. But both scenes have a similar deeper meaning as River is pulling off the lables off Blue Sun products and slashing Jayne's Blue Sun shirt.
My favourite episode is Out of gas. Remember the bottom that Mal has to press to make the crew come back? When they were cancelled, Alan Tudyk take it from the set and give it to Joss Whedon, and say to him, "If you can make this working out, with another network or a film, we are here, we are coming back"... and they did.
You're "done with Firefly?" ..... No you're not. The heat death of the universe will come as entropy robs life of all energy and it will still not be enough time to forgive Fox for cancelling Firefly.
Out of Gas is the best episode, it's basically perfection.
It's a great episode, but I have an issue with it. Specifically, when the robber captain decided to shoot Mal, why shoot him in the gut? Why not the head or the heart? Kinda hard to miss at that range. And why only shoot him once? If you've decided to kill the guy and steal his ship, you do that. Not entirely sure why they didn't just open fire when Mal first opened the door, unless the other captain hadn't made the call/steeled himself to the deed yet, but shooting Mal didn't seem to cause him any particular distress, so... I dunno?
It's a minor point, but it sticks. Whedon's usually pretty good at making actions follow motivations, and it's hard to see that here.
@@michaelccozens As far as shooting him once goes, he was probably trying to save bullets. Seems like the kind of guy that would care about that.
Only thing I can really think of for not shooting him in the head is that maybe that way he could, by leaving Mal to die, justify to himself that he didn't actually kill him. He'd have been left to bleed out and die/suffocate, and that wouldn't really be his doing (in his twisted way of thinking about it), so it absolves him of some guilt.
It's admittedly weak, but it's all I can come up with
@@ALeafOnTheWind42 Thanks! I appreciate the attempt, but it still doesn't sit right with me, just because Joss doesn't usually miss this stuff. Also, if the shooter was morally-conflicted, why not throw Mal in a suit and leave him adrift? Marooning, either on a little island or in a tiny lifeboat, has a long history.
I still don't know why he didn't just shoot Mal when the door opened. Mal could have been covertly armed then; the shooter'd at least have the moral cover of that, if moral cover was amongst his concerns. Leaving Mal to suffocate could mean leaving Serenity locked-up and impossible to get into, but once they were in, they didn't seem to need anything else from Serenity's captain. If they wanted to save bullets, they could have airlocked him, which would also have been less of a security concern than wounding a smuggler and letting him crawl around his own vessel. Even just restraining Mal would have been a smarter call. It's all very strange.
Favorite episode: Ariel
Favorite character: Simon
Did you notice that the ball at the end was the same as the planet at the beginning? God and River do not play dice with the universe. They play jacks.
If you're listening on mono speakers you may not have caught this: On the bridge, when River laughs at Early, the laughter moves around him, just beyond his grasp. It's a good use of holographic sound to make a point.
On the DVD commentary tracks, Whedon reveals that like Bushwhacked, this episode is about River's feet. Being a dancer, River interacts with her environment through her feet. Her bare feet being the most intimate form of contact, whenever she's "reading," she's always barefoot.
You get her.
she has...
big feet.
River Dancer? She's Irish?
@@douglascolquhoun8502 Ballerina, actually.
Whedon was reading a lot about objectivism when he was writing this episode. During the commentary, he did explain that he had the SFX match the bouncing ball used in the game of jacks at the end.
The camera blur effect when River was reading Zoe and Wash, and the conversation at the end that Kaylee was having with River... My they grow up fast.
After watching you guys since episode #1, I just love how hubby chuckles at plot points, but never, ever gives stuff away. Awesome! Wife's live comments are so funny, and usually on the mark. She is a smart cookie. I do enjoy how quick she catches on to character and plot developments, some of which took me 3 viewings to realize.
Maybe the "River Tam sessions" before the movie? Online/viral marketing for the movie - about River at the Institute. It's only about 8 minutes in all (video on UA-cam with the clips in order0
I love Jubal Early. His threatening to rape Kaylee aside (a scene which is meant to make the viewer extremely uncomfortable), the writing of the character is so interesting and unique that you really need to watch it a couple of times to really get it. Like when Simon asks if he's a bounty hunter while he's in the middle of coming up with a word. He's too distracted by his own tangent that he says (to himself) "that ain't it" while it seems like he's responding to Simon. Then when Simon asks what he is, that question registers and he responds "I'm a bounty hunter.". Honestly such a brilliant character. Joss said at a later point that he survived the episode, so it wouldn't have been the last we saw of him.
My favorite episode in the series is Out of Gas. Between learning the history of the entire crew, and how brilliantly structured it was telling a story in 3 times... Just brilliant.
There are other tidbits I want to share (like when I told you about the Blue Sun Corporation on a previous video), but I'll refrain until after the movie... I presume you've already watched it, but even so.
While the Missus did not mention River being an assassin in the first episode, she did however mention it in the Ariel reaction, at 17:32
My favorite episode is Out of Gas, because it was really nice seeing all the backstory, and it had such a great ending that really hits the feels.
My favorite characters are Mal, YoSaffBridge, and Nishka.
YoSaffBridge🤣🤣
Favorite episode: "out of gas"
Favorite crew member: Malcolm Reynolds
Favorite side character: Mrs Reynolds
Why? Because she was all, naked? And articulate? 🤔
@Rick King 22 mmmmm 🥵
"War Stories" is my favorite episode (although Our Mrs. Reynolds and the pilot episode are tied for a damn close 2nd). It's the episode with the best and funniest lines and the best "Aw, shit!" moments:
Wash:
"Hey, I've been in a firefight before. Well, I was in a fire...actually I was fired. From a fry cook opportunity."
(To Zoe): "Then tell me! I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it."
Zoe: "Jayne...this is something the captain has to do for himself."
Mal: "NO! NO IT'S NOT!!"
Simon: "I've never shot anyone before."
Book: "I was there, son. I'm quite sure you haven't shot anyone yet."
Malcolm Reynolds is my favorite character...strong convictions, loyal, protective, incredibly funny with an extremely dry sense of humor. Damn easy to root for. Nathan Fillion just nails the role. His comedic timing is spectacular.
Out of Gas is definitely, hands-down, my favorite episode of TV ever. It’s well written, beautifully shot, emotional, and shows what has brought everyone to this place in the ‘verse. 💜
Welcome to the Browncoats. The way Fox handled this series is a prime example of why many people dislike them.
Fox has done this with a number of shows. When They did this to Firefly that was the last straw for me. Haven't watched Fox since.
TBH Fox Tv execs are the dumbasses that also had bright ideas to try to axe Futurama, Simpsons, and more that went on to better and brighter channels nonstop. Firefly shoulda had more than a movie.
7:50 I really appreciate the effort put into this. You guys are the best 😘
I "love" how the realization dropped with the last shot of Serinity! "There is now more Firefly!!" always gut punch me!!
My favorite show ever! Sorry Mr and Mrs have to see it end.
It's like trying to pick a favorite child. I love Jayne's arc in Jaynestown. I love the idea of robbing a moving train in the The Train Job. I love the backstory (and mustache) in Out Of Gas. I love the heist im Ariel. But frankly, it's my love for these characters. I just want to see them in more adventures.
My favorite episode is whichever one I happen to be watching.
I am so excited to see the Serenity reaction. :D
"Ariel" was my favorite episode, where we started really getting into the wider story of what was going on with River. Two by two, hands of blue. Plus the whole hospital caper.
"Out of Gas" is my favorite episode, Kaylee and Mal are my favorite crew members, and Jubal Early is my favorite side character.
This one did air. It was the previous three that didn't. Always fun to review the show. Thanks.
It's a beautiful episode. A great way to have each character understand River's feelings.
Great bad guy. Ends with scenes of them as a family which is the best point in the end.
The first episode of Firefly I watched. I didn't know the movie Serenity was based on and a direct continuation of a TV series. One Friday night i was flipping through the TV channels and came across the finale of Firefly "Objects in Space".
I love how Early comes back in the comics and winds up a similar situation.
Every single person I've watched reacting to Firefly just doesn't get it after episode one. And when, "Objects in Space" finishes, not only do they want more and are ready for Serenity but they loved the show. It was very special.
Jane's reaction when he takes the curtain off his guns with a badass frown only to use it as a bed sheet is my absolute favorite moment in the entire series. That guy is priceless! 🤣
Love the show guys, keep the good times rolling!
Couple of mentions here, the idea of psychic children stolen from their families and raised by a shadow government to be assassins is pretty old, but my first introduction to the concept was in Blizzard Entertainment's PC video game, 1996 Starcraft. One of the main characters, Sarah Kerrigan is one such psychic assassin, termed Ghosts.
Second, Age t Hurley's brooding theme music is reminiscent of a much older PC video game, Space Quest. Where in the player commands a generic character, destined to save the universe through no special feats. At one point in one of the sequels, I want to say Space Quest 3, a bounty hunter is stalking him with a Very similar theme song.
I suppose the pilot is probably my favorite episode, but my favorite singular moment was from The Train Job, when he kicks the one guy - who they really went out of their way to build up - into the engine and the second no-name guy says "Best thing for everyone. I'm right there with ya!"
That line, that moment, that whole set-up was pure Whedon. That was the appeal of Buffy and Angel. "Subversion of expectations" but in a _good_ way., where you think it's gonna be something you've seen 1000 times before, but then "Holy shit! That's awesome! Where the hell did that come from?" Where you're actually _pleasantly_ surprised, as opposed to just surprised.
Jubak Early...one of the great under appreciated vilians. Fantastic character!
"I'd watch this again, just for fun." And that is what happened. People were sharing VHS copies of recorded episodes and then the DVDs were released. DVDs of TV shows were a fairly new phenomena and it was surprising that Fox released a DVD set of a failed show but they did. It was probably because they could market it as having 3 episodes + the pilot which had never aired. And it sold like hotcakes. The DVD set was a Top 20 DVD seller on Amazon for over 2 years. People bought them and then bought again to give to their friends and family to say, "You have to watch this show." Several effort were made to revive the show but to no avail. Fox was not interested in licensing the property and there just wasn't the variety of streaming platforms like there are today. Today the show would likely have found a home on a streaming platform.
They did eventually air the pilot on Fox. It was the last episode they aired, and at such a weird time to do it that that's how a lot of us realized the show was in trouble. Bad trouble, as it turned out.
@@mintyfresh3533 I do seem to remember that I had seen it but had not recorded it. So, I didn't see it again until I got the DVD set. There were a couple of episodes I had missed like Train Job and one other due to the show being shown at odd times.
The show was actually recorded in widescreen which is why Fox was able to print Bluray discs for release. The studio jerks originally broadcasted the show in 4:3 aspect ratio though. The reason the special effects looks good in this show is because it was mastered in HD from the start which wasn't very common at the time. The scattered interactive display screens in the show was basically a new thing in post production which is technically a special effect since large capacitive screens weren't a thing back then.
It’s hard to pick a favorite crew member. My favorite episodes are “Out of Gas” and “Objects In Space”.
As soon as I heard the theme song I got hit with so many emotions
"War Stories" is my favorite, because of the dynamic between Wash and Mal when they were being tortured; it was both funny watching them argue, but it also showed how Mal cared and looked out for Wash by distracting him from the pain by talking nonsense.
At the end of this episode my wife punched me in the shoulder. She was mad at me that Fox cancelled it and I had got her hooked. First of three series in a row I did that to her.
Oh, good. Here we are. Thanks. Here we go!
Note: Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were still on the air when this was cancelled. Some Firefly actors got parts on those shows.
There is an episode of Angel with the actress who played River as a cursed Russian ballerina Angel had to save. (This was just before she played River).
The guy who played Mal was a reoccurring villain in the last season of BTVS.
The guy who played Jane was a reoccurring villain in the last season of Angel.
Adam Baldwin as the villain on Angel:

I can’t wait for your “Serenity” reaction!! 👏🙌❤️ “Ariel” was my favorite episode!! Love the reactions!! 😁
Bushwhacked, out of gas and objects in space are my three way tie for favourite.
Zoe is my fav character. The ship is my favourite minor character
I know it's been two years and this has probably already been said, but she did in fact call the assassin thing, it was in the episode where you watched Ariel, right after River cuts Jayne she said something about "were they training her to be an assassin..."
Out Of Gas. Love the uniqueness of each episode, but Out Of Gas was such a creative way to fill in some of the missing backstory.
"War Stories" is my favorite episode. The best thing about Firefly is that there are no bad episodes. They're all either Good or better.
FOX sabotaged this series from the get-go. Airing them out of order from the start, not even airing 3 episodes at all during the original run. They didn't give it a real chance. I think the only reason they let it be made at all is to amuse Joss Whedon after the success of Buffy & Angel. They were moving away from SciFi at the time and wasn't really interested in Firefly. So they sabotaged it to make Joss move on to Doll House (which I think is the least interesting Joss Whedon series).
They were moving away from everything that wasn't "Reality" shows.
Considering that Dollhouse got a second season because NO ONE was going to kill a Whedon show in season one after the fan backlash to Firefly's cancellation... The executives at Fox went through a number of changes between begging Joss to do a third show and supporters were no longer on board. No matter what the executives did before or after the season, the legacy of being the ones to cancel the show is the primary fact in their history and introductions like a dead albatross or the Mark of Caine.
Favourite episode: Our Mrs Reynolds, favourite crew member: Kaylee. I liked her bubbly personality.
Jubal Early was based in part on a Confederate general of the same name, whom Nathan Fillion can trace his ancestry back to. He - the general - was apparently somewhat deaf in one hear, which explains why he - in the episode - mishears "Alliance" as "a lion" and apparently mishears "bounty hunter" aa well.
Also, when River is hearing voices in her head while in her bunk, the voice that says "we're all just floating" is Jubal Early's voice. It wasn't a voice River recognized...
Jubal Early has been tracking Serenity and her crew for a while, he's had time to research everyone, plus he is pretty perceptive.
Favorite episode: yes
Favorite character: also yes
If you are so inclined, there are also comic books of other adventures with the crew, and some of them flesh out the backstories of the characters, like Shepherd Book.
Favourite episode has changed a lot over the years, right now it's this one, Objects In Space. Favourite character is forever Kaylee, she is precious and need to always be protected. Second favourite is shared by River and Zoe.
This episode did air. "Trash", "The Message" and "Heart of Gold" were the ones that did originally air.
it wasn't in the first episode but i think i remember the missus saying something like river possibly being a sleeper assassin.... i gotta go back and check if i find the time to do so
I remember that too.. Maybe it was when they watched "Ariel", but I'm not positive
Look forward to seeing your reaction to the movie. It's not perfect, but it's a lot of fun, and at least finishes up a couple plotlines.
It’s not perfect, but I do love it. I feel we were incredibly lucky to get it. I can’t think of any other movies based on a failed series that lasted half a season. I’ll always appreciate Joss Whedon for making Serenity.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 exactly. The comic books are fantastic too.
My favorite episodes are with that... articulate woman :)
I remember watching firefly when it first aired and loving it so much and then it never came back. I was so bummed.
My favourite episode of the series is hard to nail down... the ball... or the hill people trying to burn river as a witch... or the flashbacks of how all the crew got to join serenity... so much good stuff
My MOST favourite is the comic where we learn of Book's backstory, that one is REALLY fun.
Anyways. Love your content, keep it up
It was the dialogue and laughter which kept me coming back. I can't pick one cast member of episode. It all made me feel warm and fuzzy. Farscape would keep you laughing too!
There are always the comics that complete this story and the continue beyond that conclusion.
“Out of Gas” was easily my favorite. They were all various levels of great, but I’m a sucker for a nonlinear narrative. Kaylee favorite character. Does Saffron count as a side character?
War Stories, my fave - the way Mal could go to his darker self and also how he take Wash's mind off the pain he was going through by winding him up!
Thank you guys so much for sharing this with us. K now let's get on that Serenity Reaction!.... k where is it?... must be round here somewhere.... i'll keep lookin.....
Tuesday ;)
This wasn't intended to be a conclusory episode, it was just one in what was intended to be a whole season.
There are many fantastic episodes, but I'm definitely in the "Out of Gas" camp for my favorite. It's not just the wonderful little back-stories, but the way it all fits together and flows between timelines, the cinematography (different color palates for the different timelines...), everything. It's a gem of an episode. Mal is my favorite character; he sets the tone for the whole ship, and I love his loyalty to his crew. YoSafBrig is probably my favorite side character, although Niska and Early are pretty compelling too in their own way.
If you want another short and sweet series (13 episodes) get your hands on "Wonderfalls" from Tim Minear, who did "Out of Gas" and several other episodes of Firefly. There's a great guest star in the last few episodes too. Fear not, Tim had learned how quickly FOX could screw up a series and designed to show to have a stopping point at 13 episodes. Of course, FOX only ever aired the first 4.
My favourite episode is the one with the crew in it.
Probably the best show with 13 episodes
Best with 12 is Fawlty Tower. Fleabag is an honourable mention as that second season is incredible.
You are so right THEY BLEW IT.
And we have anger! Congratulations, you've reached the final stage of Firefly fandom. Now, you may be asking your self what about "acceptance" isn't that the final stage? No. Acceptance is not a stage. Acceptance will NEVER be a stage.
The Mrs. is going to LOVE the movie (Serenity)!
This episode, "Objects in Space" is my favorite. That probably has to do with the fact that my favorite character is River.
She actually did guess River was an assassin in the watch of the first or second episode.
Here we go folks.. one or two parts more!
Episode: Objects in Space
Crew: River
Other person: Nisku (sp?)
The usual prescription for "Firefly" withdrawal after the movie, "Serenity" is "Cowboy Bebop." Jazz sessions with Spike Spiegel and Jet Black are very good, and you can ponder the similarities between the 'verse of "Firefly" and "Cowboy Bebop." ("Netflix"? See the Anime, first.) I remember actor Richard Brooks from the early years of "Law & Order" as ADA Paul Robinette. He left for private practice and became as devilish as bounty hunter "Jubal Early.";)
Fave Episode: Jaynestown (This very much humanised Jayne and made me get to know a character better I did not like before.)
Fave Character: Sheppard Book (I like the mystery and being not the typical kind of preacher man.)
Fave Side Character: Saphron (How can it not be. And she ahs two good arguments for her case as well.)
Favorite Episode: "Out of Gas"
Favorite Crew Member: Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds
Favorite Side Character: "Badger"
*“Shouldn’t River of sensed him?”*
She did. Remember at the very start, when suddenly her eyes opened? That was Early's voice she heard in her head at that moment.
And umm.. yes, you DID call it, about River being an assassin. Quite early on, in fact. But it wasn't in the very first episode.
i watch firefly at least once a year
Then 2020 and 2021 weren't terrible years for you. 🥳
I watched the series when it was originally on TV. I avoided going out drinking on Friday nights with friends to watch it. Later I would carry a spare copy of the DVD to loan out to peopl who never watched it. Converted a lot of Browncoats that way. There is also a fan film that comes after the events of Serenity.
You guys are going to love the film
Called the assasin.... So funny! Thank you!!!
I didn't want these reactions to end.
This show was a favorite by far. better than a good majority of shows currently running. Hopefully, the r5umors of a reboot are true and Disney doesn't screw it up.
Y'all should do a reaction to the Firefly and Serenity gag reels.
I've been enjoying your reviews of "Firefly" and looking forward to your takes on "Serenity". My only suggestion is that at some point you'll do a similar treatment of the show that might've inspired this one: "Cowboy Bebop" A late 90s anime with a similar short run time and "To Infinity and Beyond" cult status . Similar concept but a very different kind of story. 26 approximately half hour episodes and a movie that fits between episodes 13 and 14 ( as I recall ). The movie's optional. It's basically an extended episode. Just a thought.
We have all episodes & the movie. I've watched them all at least 10 times. There is also a great doc on how Serenity, the movie got made. My favourite is the last one. It took me 3 or 4 views before I understood what was happening. The writer is a genius.
I recommend falling skies for after serenity. It's a great show.
I just found this channel and I can’t stop watching all the videos😭😂love this reactions
Thanks is much! So glad to have you here watching with us. Welcome to the family!
A Futurama reference, in my Firefly review? Yes please.
Such a tragedy that it ended so soon
Early was an interesting character to kill off so soon. Joss Whedon did a nice audio commentary to this episode where he explained that it's kind of a meditation on existentialism.
As a 1-hour television episode, Objects in Space is better by many metrics than quite a few 2-hour sci-fi movies
Hello. I am a new follower and I really liked your channel, you have already seen several of my favorite movies so I wanted to recommend some more: REC 1 (It's from Spain, very scary) Ready or not, Evil Dead 2013 and VHS.
This wasn’t a planned ending. The show was just cancelled mid-run so there was no intentionality to the end point. But this is my favorite episode. It’s quirky and the dialogue is top notch.
Out of Gas is pretty much a perfect episode of television.
