I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Glass at Gen Con some years back. I got an autographed picture. Some time later, I met Summer Glau at a different Gen Con. She signed my copy of the Serenity RPG rulebook. RIP Ron Glass.
I also had the opportunity to meet and interview Ron Glass. You can watch the interview here czcams.com/video/Y3Q80Umjm-w/video.html. I miss Mr. Glass.
that's the point; she wasn't chubby. I think Jewel was saying she was a bit skinnier than normal because of the demands of other tv shows, and Whedon wanted Kaylee to look like a normal girl. Which I highly, highly approve of.
Firefly is the most literal "Space western". I love it's focus on characters, no weird plot focus, no alien overload, just people cooperating and struggling. It is the characters that makes firefly great.
I'm just going to say this, and if anyone here agrees please thumbs this up. Firefly to me is home, it's a place where i can go to feel free, relax and laugh and just simply indulge in the "serenity" that the show/film creates. Never did i think for a SECOND that a TV show would find a place in my heart! I know to some i sound crazy, but to all my die hard browncoats out there you know how i feel! Never stop the signal, and aim to misbehave!!! Joss & Tim you beautifully brilliant men! bravo!
Every few months i watch this show from start to finish. while i would have loved to have gotten more, i realize that too much time has passed, and it is likely that we can never have them revisit it to our satisfaction. this sucks, but now, maybe that’s good. thanks so much to everyone who made firefly and serenity what it was; it was a disservice to have such an accomplishment cut short. “I am a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar!”
This was a excellent Sci-fi series. The movie “Serenity” was great. It blows away anything new that has hit the screen since this series. A lot of people think the same way. We all need more of it. Please need it to return.👍
Firefly is more than a show... it's a feeling...it's a commentary on us as individuals. Firefly was and still is one of the best television shows to ever be created. It's cancellation was bittersweet. All of the fans who have fallen in love with it are so dedicated to the beauty and perfection of what makes great television. Firefly is the reason I love watching T.V. and film. Even if the show never comes back to air I will still watch and re-watch the series, still getting that "shiny" feeling.
It is SO SO rare to find a cast who are so dedicated to the film/tv show/game they are making. Plenty treat each project as just another job and, whilst they may be good actors/actresses, they never really invest themselves. That, to me, is why Firefly is so incredible.
This beautiful show had a way of pulling the viewer (me) into the family on that ship, not just as a spectator, but actually part of it. The show made the impossible seem easily real, It was truly unique, just like the cast-beautifully real and unique! I miss them and watch it over and over and will continue to do so to be part of that family. When Ron Glass passed, I mourned the loss of the Shepard!
Well, I lasted until about the last 5 minutes without crying.... Couldn't do it. Just seeing how much they care about that ship is wonderful. Firefly was one of the best shows.
True words were never spoken by a more shiny lookin' man! Keep flyin' safe through these troubled skies, fellow Browncoat and forever let the signal flow free!
Ever since the show, I valued, more, the experience of seeing fireflies while mowing my grass, early evenings in the spring here in Garland Texas. Amazing how a TV show can change somebody's life for the better in so many ways. Well, of course TV shows usually don't - but, Firefly was no average TV show!
Man, I needed this, just to know that there are still people out there who care as much as I do about this ship. Especially the cast. Keep flying, people.
As much as we all want more "Firefly", I believe that in its minimal form it carries more impact and distilled essence. "Firefly" never had time to make a misstep, or create a "less than" episode. Each one, like it's characters and milieu, are essential. Sometimes, though we wish otherwise, less is truly more.
it's so obvious how much love everybody had for this show and it's audience is no different. We all love that beautiful old ship, the actors love it, Joss loves it, and that reflects so beautifully when you watch the show. Serenity is the heart and soul of Firefly, who's life was cut all too short.
fucking testament to joss and tim's talent that they still produced such a sweet show under such stupid scrutiny from fox execs. would've been awesome to work on the set of this show
This is the show I always come back to when I want to feel at peace with the world. Fantastic stories, amazing characters and the magical home Serenity!!
i don't believe anyone will ever hear people talk about a show, set and cast the way everyone from 'firefly/serenity' does. its sad for something so beautiful to be so short-lived. Browncoats Forever! If we truly believe, they'll never be able to stop the signal! :D
The fact that Fox cancelled Firefly gives you a feeling in your chest that makes it so tight that you can't breath. When ever I watch a show... I watch the first episode and then I check how many more there are. And to see that there were only 14 episodes of Firefly makes you count... and you ask... how many more episodes intell it all ends? When I saw the last episode of Firefly I smiled and was going to watch the next one... but then the smile wiped off of my face when I saw that I had watched all 14 episodes of Firefly. So this is why I hate Fox. You got rid of the show that made thousands of people happy. And over one thousand people are not happy... Mal, Wash, Jane, Simon, Book,River, Kaylee, Innara, Zoey, Me and thousands of other fans all because you took Serenity away.
I feel much same way about these characters, and the universe and the ship as I do for Harry Potter. Now Harry Potter was childhood I grew up with the books, and they meant a lot to me. That took seven books. Firefly won me over in a season. It has away of grabbing at your heart, at a nostalgia and your imagination and it is expressed so fucking well. I care about this show more than I do about a lot of others because there was such love and dedication that went into it and it's palpable.
"Firefly is the source of probably more joy and pain of anything I've done." Josh Whedon. Josh now is among the Elite of best Directors in History. I wish a Serenity Two will come to life, I'll miss wash and The Preacher, but 7 of 9 will always be fun.
I know this is fighting an up-hill battle, but I WANT MORE! It was and still is one of my all-time favourite TV-series, and I'm grieved to see what FOX did to it.
I fell in love with Serenity the movie and then went back to watch the series. I did not watch tv because of mess with reality shows. I hate networks..doesn't give REAL shows a chance. We need to back to the old way of tv shows.
My Take on the Fireflys shape reminded me of a horse like you have a cross between a insect and a robotic horse.the heroes arrive or escape in their firey steed,hence a space western. a Pegasus in space.
I like how the mention, this is us in the future. We are exactly the same just with better technology. That's part of the reason why I am not only fascinated with Sci Fi but also fascinated with history. It's the same as today, but with worse technology. Nothing has changed, just the things we use. I think once more people notice that, the more of an appreciation they will have for history and Science Fiction.
The truth is, good sci fi is NEVER about the science. It's about the people. Good sci fi is a statement about what it means to be human. It's a way to explore our problems and our foibles in a(supposedly) non-threatening, non-challenging way.
Like seriously it makes me sad every time I watch it all and then realize that they never got the chance to really explore it properly. For all the absolute trash that is on tv to exist is an insult to those of us who love this show. Every cunt Kardashian has their own show for twenty seasons but firefly gets only one? Fuck this planet.
even cold blankets warm eventually. im hoping that fox tanks, and is forced to sell rights to stay afloat. they only keep the rights now to be petty and mean. we could easily raise the money necessary, buy it, and gift it to Joss with a bow. how many browncoat's tax returns would do it? but they wont sell until it benefits them, and it wont benefit them until their pocketbook is tortured in every other way. and until then we love our ship, our captain, and our crew, and we keep flying.
OopzyDayzy Until then I don't let anything I do benefit fox in any way. If there's a show on fox that's good I manage to watch it by other means, if'n you know what I mean. If fox ever puts firefly on again then it'll be awesome and I'll watch it as a reward to them for pulling their heads out of their asses. Hell, they're bringing the x-files back so why wouldn't they bring back firefly?
"And I bet there are a lot of people in China going what the hell are they saying!" Ha yeah! I have totally no idea if there's no subtitiles. But fact is... I love this show! There's no other show like Firefly.
Hell, it DID bring a tear to my eye, an I ain't ashamed to say it. Go on some of the fanfic sites and see what people are doing with the stories of the characters. It's more than possible for the show to come back and go on if not for fox and their damned flesh-eating lawyers...
Cancellation of Firefly is like losing a loved one. First it hurts like hell, then you slowly accept they aren't coming back. They're gone. You have bitter sweet moments when you stare at the same pictures and go through same emotional memories over and over again. However, after a number of years you wouldn't even raise them from dead even if you could cause you wouldn't want to see their corpse get animated again. Fuck I love Firefly so much. Atm I'm indoctrinating people around me to draw them into Firefly rpg instead of gay elven fantasy shit. I got to find a crew.
Rest in Peace Ron Glass. You'll be dearly missed.

If this show had been made for a cable company or Netflix, it'd have gone for seasons untold.
FOX was so short-sighted.
Short-sighted? Me thinks you're giving Fox way too much credit...they were blind.

Firefly is the most literal "Space western".
I love it's focus on characters, no weird plot focus, no alien overload, just people cooperating and struggling.
It is the characters that makes firefly great.
See you, space cowboy
I cannot tell you how much I miss this show and every actor. Every person was exactly right for their part.
I'm just going to say this, and if anyone here agrees please thumbs this up.
Firefly to me is home, it's a place where i can go to feel free, relax and laugh and just simply indulge in the "serenity" that the show/film creates.

100%, my friend.

I cry... every time *that* happens
I just love how they described Serenity. It wasn't just a set to them, it was like a home.
This was a excellent Sci-fi series. The movie “Serenity” was great. It blows away anything new that has hit the screen since this series. A lot of people think the same way. We all need more of it. Please need it to return.👍

Its a shame that FOX refuses to sell the rights to Firefly. And also refuse to do anything with it.
Aaaand now Disney owns it. Fucking Disney.
Disney. Your wish has come true and now we can get a nice woke Firefly. Who can't like it?
It is SO SO rare to find a cast who are so dedicated to the film/tv show/game they are making. Plenty treat each project as just another job and, whilst they may be good actors/actresses, they never really invest themselves.
That, to me, is why Firefly is so incredible.
Serenity still flies in our hearts. don't you ever forget that
I still miss this show a lot and I can't even count how many times I have watch this series over and over.
This beautiful show had a way of pulling the viewer (me) into the family on that ship, not just as a spectator, but actually part of it.

aw gosh. Adam Baldwin is so sweet. he made me tear up.
Well, I lasted until about the last 5 minutes without crying.... Couldn't do it. Just seeing how much they care about that ship is wonderful. Firefly was one of the best shows.
From time to time, I come back here and I feel like home watching this cast.
True words were never spoken by a more shiny lookin' man! Keep flyin' safe through these troubled skies, fellow Browncoat and forever let the signal flow free!
I absolutely and utterly adore this series... From the concept to the cast it was done nothing short of Top Shelf. ❤ 🎥

Amazing how a TV show can change somebody's life for the better in so many ways. Well, of course TV shows usually don't - but, Firefly was no average TV show!
Best story to ever be told and never be completed. RIP firefly, may you once again grace our skies.
Man, I needed this, just to know that there are still people out there who care as much as I do about this ship. Especially the cast. Keep flying, people.
Firefly is love, best show in television history. I am wondering if it occurred to them, back then, that this is creatively best year of their life.
09:47 Jayne: "down-and-dirty characters: ... I just thought, boy it'd be great to play a guy like that... but hansomer"
the fact that this video exists makes my life worth living.

god i miss this show
im rewatching this show as I type love it
*tears at the end. :'( I miss this show so much!
Now I want to go rewatch Firefly. lol
Nathan looks so young here (and yes, I know this was from a while ago - but he looks younger than he did in the Firefly episodes)
This is the show I always come back to when I want to feel at peace with the world. Fantastic stories, amazing characters and the magical home Serenity!!
when Joss Whedon said that "all of the pressure of being in a show that can get cancelled at any second" and then smiling completely destroyed me.
Ron Glass is such a happy guy! :D
Goddamit. I cry every time I watch something about Firefly ;(
One of the best series ever
Us Brown Coats need our captain back. Bring back FireFly......!
This was and is my MOST FAVORITE SHOW of all time !
Great Show! Looks like they all had a blast working on it. One thing they forgot to mention was the incredible music!
Firefly greatest show of all times
If this is a space western, that ship is his steed! That thought is so sweet to me. He takes care of it, it takes care of him. A man and his "horse."
OMG I can't get over Ron Glass's laugh!!
The best tv-show of all time!
One of the best shows ever! Lightning in a bottle!
i don't believe anyone will ever hear people talk about a show, set and cast the way everyone from 'firefly/serenity' does. its sad for something so beautiful to be so short-lived. Browncoats Forever! If we truly believe, they'll never be able to stop the signal! :D
I love listening to all of the actors' experiences on the ship.
serenity is to firefly what the impala is to supernatural!!
that was the coolest syfy concept next to stargate and star trek. so sad to never see it work out.
as a chinese person i had a lot of fun hearing the random chinese popping up in the show! xD
I miss this show, even if the movie was AMAZING! The show need to come back!
Best show in the 'verse. Plain and simple.
I've watched this show more than a 100 times (aiming low, seriously), and I ALWAYS laugh with the same jokes!!
Ron Glass laughs every time he speaks.
The fact that Fox cancelled Firefly gives you a feeling in your chest that makes it so tight that you can't breath. When ever I watch a show... I watch the first episode and then I check how many more there are. And to see that there were only 14 episodes of Firefly makes you count... and you ask... how many more episodes intell it all ends?

Mal, Wash, Jane, Simon, Book,River, Kaylee, Innara, Zoey, Me and thousands of other fans all because you took Serenity away.
Glad I have the box set of CDs along with the Serenity movie disk
The biggest mistake Fox made was not giving this series a longer run time and not having faith in it!
they shot it in the leg and expected it to run
But it crawled on as long as it could. Amd the fans of Firefly will carry its memory forever.
SOME GODDAMN FAITH!!!!
I feel much same way about these characters, and the universe and the ship as I do for Harry Potter. Now Harry Potter was childhood I grew up with the books, and they meant a lot to me. That took seven books. Firefly won me over in a season. It has away of grabbing at your heart, at a nostalgia and your imagination and it is expressed so fucking well.

Gorrammit bring my shiny show back!
Ron does laugh a lot.
Miss FIREFLY!!!

Really great show
Still miss this show. Wish I could have seen the set of the ship.
I know this is fighting an up-hill battle, but I WANT MORE!
It was and still is one of my all-time favourite TV-series, and I'm grieved to see what FOX did to it.
2012 and I still think the show was awesome!
one of my favorite shows.
I agree - This is the BEST show EVER
I so wish there were more episodes of this.
The sequel audiobooks are fantastic.
omg!! when the talk about Serenity make me wanna be part of Sereniity's crew!!
Serenitiy = Home
Outside of The X-Files, Fox had no idea how to manage Sci Fi series, despite having more than one winning awards.
Shiney! 6:09s 👍
I fell in love with Serenity the movie and then went back to watch the series. I did not watch tv because of mess with reality shows. I hate networks..doesn't give REAL shows a chance. We need to back to the old way of tv shows.
I'm against the death penalty,except when its for the people who cancelled this show!
My Take on the Fireflys shape reminded me of a horse like you have a cross between a insect and a robotic horse.the heroes arrive or escape in their firey steed,hence a space western. a Pegasus in space.
The actor for Book has got the most perfect evil laugh. XD
This show had the literal most gorgeous women in all of history! All of them! I especially love how they moved to other sci-fy shows over the years.
I love this show!!
Nathan changed so much between Firefly and Castle !
This was the best series since Star Trek, in my estimation! Damn networks!
Look at Nathan's hair!

10:00 Summer! Awww, my heart just melted.
What a shame! This was the best show ! Better than anything since.
Une super série, vivement qu'un réalisateur et un producteur aient envie de la reprendre.
Goddamn I miss this show

RJTrezise1983 at least theres the graphic novels.

Yeah, but it's cold comfort because so many of us were in love with the show.
even cold blankets warm eventually. im hoping that fox tanks, and is forced to sell rights to stay afloat. they only keep the rights now to be petty and mean. we could easily raise the money necessary, buy it, and gift it to Joss with a bow. how many browncoat's tax returns would do it? but they wont sell until it benefits them, and it wont benefit them until their pocketbook is tortured in every other way. and until then we love our ship, our captain, and our crew, and we keep flying.

10 thumbs down?
I believe we have alliance skunks about...
Did you hear what those Purple Bellies said about Serenity?!
What a GEM.
i cant help but enjoy listening to so many things that was thought about when they made the show, much love and work seems to have went into making it
"And I bet there are a lot of people in China going what the hell are they saying!"
Ha yeah! I have totally no idea if there's no subtitiles.
But fact is... I love this show! There's no other show like Firefly.

I'm not crying, you're crying.
RIP Ron Glass
Holy young people. They used to look like this?
How does this happen. How could this show not go for at lest a full season. E.R. was on forever.
I blame Jayne for the show being canceled. He had to have something to do with it.
And I'm saying it wasn't his gorram fault. His mother shouldn't have sent him that goofy hat.
How dare you blame the hat the is gold it was obviously the grey coats!

thx for uploading this
