May 21, 2022 · Here are my reflections on Episodes 1 through 14 of the Firefly TV series, thoughts as to why the series was canceled, and my review — and defense — of the spinoff film Serenity: Firefly: Can science fiction reimagined as the Wild West work? I strongly recommend the original 2002–2003 series for its careful development of the culture that ...

And yes, it’s Wash’s. Although her pilot husband (Star Wars’ Alan Tudyk) died during the events of Serenity, the comics reveal that the ship’s warrior woman Zoe (Gina Torres) was actually pregnant during the film. Actually, that’s why the comics start nine months afterwards: in the first issue of Leaves on the Wind Zoe gives birth to a baby girl na...
Yes, this is not a drill, people! Maybe they couldn’t hide their feelings any longer, or perhaps the two were inspired by the romance that sparked between Kaylee and Simon in the Serenity movie (don’t worry, that couple stays solid in the comics). Whatever the reason, we don’t care: the cap’n (Nathan Fillon on screen) and the Serenity’s resident co...
For a while, anyway. It’s hinted at the end of the 2005 movie that the psychic and sleeper assassin becomes Wash’s successor as the Serenity's helmsman. The comics not only confirm River Tam's new position, but for several issues her character appears much more level-headed than we see her in the Firefly series (as portrayed by Summer Glau). “River...
Remember how River gained all her powers after The Alliance experimented on her brain? Well, she wasn’t the only test subject. The comics reveal many others were forced into the human enhancement programme, all of whom now bare horrible cross-hatched scars on their scalps and a penchant for violence. The group of assassins are led by an Alliance li...
Nine months after the events of the Serenity movie, Adam Baldwin’s strong and secretly sensitive mercenary has left Mal and the crew to settle with his mother in parts unknown. But, the Hero of Canton isn’t gone for long. A new character called Bea, a member of a New Resistance rebel movement against The Alliance, approaches Cobb. Her proposal: hel...
In the finale of Firefly, we're introduced to Jubal Early – the deadly bounty hunter modelled on Star Wars’ Boba Fett – jettisoned into space. But like Boba Fett, Early doesn’t actually die during his last screen appearance. In Leaves on the Wind, Early once again boards the Serenity, and once again knocks out its entire crew – except Kaylee, who g...
Yes, the deadly assassin played by Chiwetel Ejiofor in the film returns to the saga – this time fighting on the Serenity’s side. Although the crew can’t forgive The Operative's role in killing Shepherd Book and Wash, they require his help to locate the labour camp Zoe finds herself on. The Operative happily agrees and effectively becomes a member o...
Okay, technically Shepherd Book’s history doesn’t fit into what happened afterSerenity – remember, The Operative killed him during the events in the film. However, these revelations are too big to leave out. Remember how Book’s past was shrouded in mystery? How it was never explained why Shepherd carried an Alliance identity card and was knowledgea...
