Browncoats of Firefly

“Call me f’anyone interesting shows up.”

In Shindig, River surprises Badger (and the crew of Serenity) with a spontaneous British accent. In preparation for this scene, Mark Sheppard (Badger) coached Summer Glau on the accent in a cafè in Studio City.

“I’m sayin’… this… is an ass-picious day”
Thats right, Unification Day. Or at least, the generally accepted date for it, since The Train Job aired on the 20th of September 2002. So maybe steer clear of those Alliance-friendly bars today, browncoats.

Over the years, the physical releases of Firefly have gone through a few different box art revisions. Which one is your favourite?

Morena Baccarin played the memorable Inara in Firefly, but did you know she was not the original choice for the role? Rebecca Gayheart was originally chosen to play Inara, before the role was recast due to a lack of chemistry with the rest of the cast.

Zoe’s signature handgun in Firefly wasn’t original to the show - the Mare’s Leg, a cut down Winchester, was previously used by Steve McQueen’s character in Wanted, Dead or Alive. Zoe’s is actually a cut down Rossi 92, a copy of the Winchester.

Spaceships are truly one of the coolest references you can see in a sci-fi show

As Mal mans the anti-aircraft gun in Firefly episode one, a Weyland Yutani logo can be seen on the HUD. This is a funky reference to the Alien films.

In the first episode of Firefly (Serenity), in the scene where Inara docks her shuttle on Serenity at the Eavesdown Docks, an Imperial Shuttle can be seen taking off in the background. This is a cool little nod to Star Wars.

Did you know Mal’s iconic revolver was built around a Taurus model 85? Bronze castings were made as a shroud, giving it the futuristic yet classic look while making it quite front heavy. Once put together, the trigger guard is the only original part that can be seen

The crew of Serenity are truly what define Firefly, proposed as “nine people looking into space and seeing different things”. They are what fans everywhere fell in love with, and for good reason. Each was flawlessly portrayed and written. Who was your favourite?

Shindig was my favourite episode too - I loved the duel at the end, and I think the dialogue was some of the best in the show:
“You didnt have to wound that man”
“I know, but it was funny”

Altogether, the full Firefly canon consists of the original TV series (Firefly), a film (Serenity), a series of graphic novels (Serenity 1-5), and a series of original novels. What is your favourite piece of Firefly content?
