Anyone Remember "Firefly"?

Science fiction is one of this worlds greatest treasures that some people don't really care for these days. There is always the rival between Sci-fi and reality TV, just like anything else up against reality shows. Firefly is one of those shows that till this day has a very huge, and dedicated fan base. This show staring Nathan Fillion was created by Joss Whedon, and it was a fantastic show. The browncoats fought for what they believed in, and this group upon the ship Serenity made their money dealing with whomever needed them.

Of the group there was Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Zoe Washburne, Hoban "Wash" Washburne, Inara Serra, Jayne Cobb, Kaylee Frye, Dr. Simon Tam, River Tam, and Shepherd Book. An unlikely group of people who become some what of a family no matter the disputes they have. Simon and River are on the run from The Alliance which is the government because they were doing testing on River and it really messed her up. Mal lets them aboard the ship, and they become part of the team and that means they need to help do the jobs. Inara is a companion which is basically a prostitute, but she likes traveling with this group. She does her business but travels along with her friends, and just takes her shuttle out when she has a job to do some where else. Mal and Inara were the couple that everyone wanted to see together, and in the end you sort of did in a way but we still wanted more.

This series was only one season and then had the movie "Serenity" come out, but even with just that, this show has a large following that seems to keep growing. The show just recently celebrated its 10 year anniversary, and it made me stop and think "wow this show is still a huge part of my life, and it was only one short season, and an epic movie." The fact that it was so well written and fans fell in love with the characters made this show what it was. Joss is known by his fans for killing off beloved characters, and as a Joss Whedon fan I can back up that statement completely. In the movie "Serenity" Wash is killed, and it was one of the saddest things I had ever seen. Wash was a funny and quirky character that just made you smile, and he was played by Alan Tudyk who is a great actor. Wash was married to Zoe, and they were sort of that couple that when you saw them, you wondered how they even ended up together. They were so cute though that it didn't matter, and when he died it was just so horrible. So thank you Joss Whedon for ripping my heart out, but please never stop making such great movies, and television.

"Firefly" is an amazing show that was short lived, and it deserved to be on longer, but the way it went out was great. This show is still very much alive with its fans, and those fans pass it on to their friends, and that is how the fan base grows each day. I hope that if any of my readers have not see the show that they will check it out, because it is one amazing show. Thank you as always for reading, and have a great Sunday.

Keep Dreaming and Scheming! Till Next Time!
