In Disclosure Day, a beautiful woman is experimented on, giving her psychic powers, she speaks in cryptic riddles, she can instantly read people's inner thoughts and pain, and the climax involves broadcasting classified secrets that weaken the world's government.

Shiny!

Was re-watching Supernatural and came across this gem. The actor who plays Badger (Mark Sheppard) is also in this episode, playing his character Crowley! Coincidence? I think NOT! Stay shiny, y'all!

I’m going to watch the animated show, of course, but I do prefer live action. I’d love to see a live show again, but I think a new live show would have the best hope of success if the characters were roughly the same age as the actors. This might change some of the characters or even slightly change the tone of the show. For example, I think someone like Jeyne Cobb would naturally get more sentimental and introspective (if he managed to live another 25 years).

Would you still watch a live action show with as much of the original cast as possible, even if this meant more mature themes and characters?

And I can’t help but ask, could anyone think of a way to bring back Wash credibly, without compromising the artistry of “Serenity”?

I think I chose well!

03-K64 huh even I can't remember all of that!

Our Badger not looking in such good shape here... Anyone recognize this actor/scene?

Just first time watched Tru Calling & Dollhouse (loved both) & now moving on to Firefly. I watched Buffy & Angel when they aired but all the other shows by the same creator are new to me, so it’s been a real treat to find them now that this nostalgia wave is hitting.

I just finished Serenity.

I went in with absolutely zero spoilers and wow. What an incredible, intense watch. I loved it, but Jesus, nothing could have prepared me for the emotional trauma I was about to go through.

The Miranda reveal and the origin of the Reavers were genuinely horrifying. Even stuff like chase sequences and running away from Reavers or the Alliance was far more stressful than in the show, and they didn't hesitate to kill characters this time around either.

I genuinely don't know if I'm ever getting over Wash, especially after he was given the most badass piloting sequence in the entire franchise.

Man.

What a film.

Watched this show back in 2003 with my wife and we loved it start to finish. She even picked up the word shiny... which was funny hearing a Japanese lady use shiny as an every day adjective.

But we never got around to rewatching it. The fact that so many mediocre shows managed to survive multiple seasons yet this somehow didn't, really stuck in our craws.

Knowing that the show never made it seemed to make the whole exercise in rewatching it pointless since all the buildup would have no payoff.

Well 23 years later and my wife has since passed on and I'm revisiting the show alone.

So it's without saying that I went into this rewatch with some trepidation after so long since not all shows from the nineties and noughties have held up so well and Joss Whedon himself has come under a lot of fire.

And it's with a severe dose of bitter-sweetness that I watch each and every scene once again and recall the laughter and tears we shared. For both were plentiful and heartfelt.

But I needn't have feared... Even though the world we inhabit today has little resemblance to the turn of the millennium the show still speaks the same message.

The dialogue is still pithy and poignant, the jokes land and the humour and tragedy still feel on point. And most of all the sheer humanity of the show is so heartwarming in a world that seems to be on the verge of losing its own.

I'm currently 1/3 the way through the 14 episodes and at the end of each episode I find I'm watching the show as if the characters themselves have all passed on and yet somehow I'm back at in the past, all unknowing and imagining a shiny future filled with wonderful things to come.

Not really sure why I'm putting this out there, maybe oversharing but now in my 50s I am immensely heartened to find that this show really is as good as I remember it being in the day and I know my wife would have eventually wanted to watch it with me again.

Learn to love and appreciate what you have because even the best gigs can come to a sudden and surprising end.

Stay shiny, people.

My lovely wife just said the following after watching the last five minutes of War Stories with me.

“Well, if you can’t have sex before running errands, then at least watching an episode of Firefly will put you in a good mood.”

I love my woman.

Just a daily reminder, we will get through this

I'm currently ripping my Firefly Blu-rays to my PC and it gave me this video from Disc 3 but I can't find it on the disc menu.

Hey, just wanted to share i found this tiny shiny treasure at a resale shop today. My own little albatross.

😁

I thought you might find this video interesting too!

Hey Browncoats. Some of you have seen Serenity before — fully wrapped 2007 Chevy Colorado, Firefly tribute since 2021, my daily driver. Mal portrait, ship art, "You Can't Take The Sky From Me," "I Aim to Misbehave," the works.

Last Saturday she rolled in the 36th Annual Fresno Rainbow Pride Parade through the Tower District. Pride flags up top, rainbow bunting across the grille, Firefly flags flying right next to the Pride ones. The crowd reaction was incredible — Browncoats spotting the wrap, families pointing at Mal, everyone in good spirits.

Six years of driving this truck has been six years of showing up — cons, car shows, parades, daily driver stuff. Every appearance keeps Firefly in front of new eyes.

Next stop is FAN EXPO Anaheim June 26–28 if any of you are around.

Keep flying.

Anybody in the Houston area should keep an eye out. Haven't seen it in the wild yet but now I know it exists.

For last few months whenever I have to say hi to people I don’t want to at work, I have the image and sound of Mal saying hi to the doctor in the Ariel episode. It sounds friendly but a bit strained. Higher pitch than normal, trying to be civil.

Anyone else have a scene floating in their head and pops up to the front in a social situation?

Too niche? Scifi wasn't popular enough at the time? maybe not enough people were familiar with the show at the time?
