Firefly was shiny! Superbly well written, casted, acted, staged, filmed, directed, everything!

Firefly was the best tv show ever. There is no argument on that because it's impossible to do so.

@Miles Prower - I had that feeling the entire time I was watching the show on DVD the first time. I immediately fell in love, and was dreading the upcoming end. Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Everytime I see one of these actors, even in different shows like Castle I see Malcolm Reynolds.

I ABSOLUTELY MISS THIS SHOW.....MY FAVORITE SHOW EVER.....LOVE ALL THE ACTORS, PRODUCERS ETC. SUCH A BRILLIANT WORK OF ART.

Firefly proved two fundamental constants of artistic creation. The first is, never underestimate the intelligence and willingness of an audience to appreciate novel, imaginative story-telling. Second, never expect suits and bean counters to possess the intelligence and imagination to appreciate novel, ground-breaking artistic endeavors. Such is life, same as it ever was.

Still loving it and re-watching all these years later. Thank you Joss and the amazing cast and crew of Firefly!

They were in trouble because most people at the time had never heard of Firefly. I blame FOX.

Best sci-fi acting, best sci-fi writing - the best story telling for TV ever. Firefly was too good and therefore had to end. Welcome to the insanity of our ‘end time’.

Nearly 4 years after this was posted on KZread, still enjoy it, still love Firefly! :) RIP Ron Glass.

16 years ago. Seems like if this was cancled today, anyone of a dozen internet producers would have snatched it up as soon as Fox made it's mistake.

This show was so far ahead of its time... 'Superpower collaboration', 'Mixed "race" marriage', 'Same sex being together', the list goes on.. As much as Fox used to be a union, collaboration, an amalgamation of different ideas and backgrounds, this 'broadcasting station' killed this series at the brink of growing into the right winged company it is today. Form omnibenevolence to all out racist in 3 seconds, this is the smoking gun of power corrupting. ..This series deserves a reboot, so gorram rutting guay it's not funny anymore. I know Ron won't have a chance to be part of it, but Morgan or Denzel might be free. And the rest of the family wouldn't hesitate to show what used to be part of the dream which made a certain continent great to begin with.

This kinda hurts in a way cause I just started getting into Firefly and I've already watched Serenity three times so I feel the sting of loss but seeing how tight the cast still is and the pure love they have for each other, the series and the fans and the fans in turn respond the same way is still unbelievable even 15 years later. It's almost hard to describe

I agree. No other show grabbed me and made me care so much about the people. Nothing else has done that...and the story...would have loved it to continue and grow..

Firefly was a fantastic show. Innovative and beautifully crafted by very passionate, talented people. Art can only be cultivated by artists.

I’m glad this show came into my life! All these characters, all the stories, this is tv at it’s finest. There will never be another show this good ever! Browncoats forever!!!!!

Fox has canceled tons of great Sci-Fi. They should seriously stop producing it if they won't support it.

Man, this show was absolute gold. 2002 was just too early for nuanced, deep, western storytelling like this. This show drops in 2011-2015 and it's still running today.

Firefly was the real deal. Too good for this world.

Such a special series. My first ever binge watch of a whole series in one day

Thanks for that. A huge fan. And great to see Ron. We used to hang out in LA in the early '70s. Same great laugh. Ron was a really great and wonderful person.

It was special. It was extraordinary. I miss Firefly and the cast so much.

It's kinda poetic, Tom Rothmen taking away the show. Kinda like the Alliance took away independence from the Galaxy.

I became rather obsessed with Firefly in my late teens the year Serenity came out. Ive been rewatching the series after nearly 15 years and damn. There are some things that I rewatch and cringe or get bored or find it derivative etc. But this show has aged perfectly. Even the slightly dated sci compliments it as its subtle from the budget. Its just so so good.

Browncoat 4Life

Great to have that bond the actors had that’s why it was so good and you felt it, you can’t fake that excellent work loved it 👌♥️🌹

The beauty of Firefly is that it was a perfectly formed moment in time. The production team and cast were perfect at that time. It didn't out stay its welcome, fall victim to poor writing, or indifferent acting. Instead, every episode leaves us wishing for more and that is the mark of a great, great show.

Only the good die young - Thanks Joss and co. for bringing us this beautiful piece of art - there's not much else that makes me so sad than Firefly gettin the axe way too early, I cry like a baby.... up yours Fox ╭∩╮

Firefly proved to everyone that a series does not need to have 20 seasons to become a phenomenon or a classic.

OK...That's it...time to watch Firefly again... Thanks

I'm so glad they still got to make the feature that they we're talking about hypothetically here. Also glad it was so well-received (as it should be, because it's just as great as the series!). That was one cool bunch of creative people right there!

Here in early 2021, I spend a couple days going through old Firefly stuff... conventions, this 'making of', later interviews with the cast.... and the feelings rise. It's only a television show, right. Sure. But every apex point, fulcrum, or golden opportunity is but a few moments of time. Moments come around that are only going to come one time here/now. It could be 'seeing Her', or a kill shot, or taking a good chance for a noble reason. I've feelings of gladness Firefly came around at all.... and red anger at the money-grubbing, no vision, short-sighted, enfeebled attitude by FOX. Hindsight is 20/20. But evaluating all things in context and in situ, their actions are inexplicable and self-defeating. One small example: the theme. Not a primary consideration compared to other aspects. Yet the Firefly theme is arguably one of the most delineating, salient, encapsulating theme songs in the history of American TV. Big claim? Start thinking about it deeply. That's only one point. I will always grind an axe with FOX about Firefly. It was a moment, a chemistry, a union, that was only available that moment, once engendered, and their failure failed millions.

when this show was on cable tv back in the day, friday night, 8pm. i remember looking forward to the next episode all week long. i love this show, have a huge crush on Kylie, Jane, the hero of mudders, & that aint no Shepard. wonderfuly thought out stories, loved the way it was shot, the way it looked, everything is perfect. thanks for making this

If they had crowd funding back then like they do now, the fans could've funded the continuation of the show.

And instead of showing the episodes out of order, it could be a special in Netflix where they drop the entire series in a single day.

I'm very late to the party but I just smashed on the session past two days I'm in love with the crew I'm bummed we only got the movie but it rapped it up nicely ! Still though I want more but we always want more of something we can't have thank u to all the people that worked on this project u will forever be remembered in the light of my mind

Just watched this series and …IT WAS PHENOMENAL… If I were to try to explain why…. I would go on for an hour….. WHY the network let this Incredibly crafted series be canceled ??….. … what an ENORMOUS mistake…. Also LOVED the follow up movie SERENITY ❤️ Haven’t seen a show so well done ,in every possible way ,for a long time… what a shame and what a loss to not be able to continue watching this piece of art

it's 2020 and I just finished firefly season 1, looking for anything firefly related just because I don't want it to end. I really wish they somehow do more of this show with all the new streaming services.

Proof that anyone in the world can do an executive's job better than the ones who screwed us out of this show!!! God bless you Joss Whedon and may Serenity fly again one day!!!

Too bad this series wasn't made today via HBO... It is a top shelf series that only HBO could truly give proper credit to "Firefly" ❤ 🎥 First time I even heard about "Firefly" as a series was on "The Big Bang Theory" on an episode with Summer Glau. I didn't see the piolet episode til late 2021... I was so taken with it I immediately bought the 14 episode series and the "Serenity" movie on KZread. Growing up in the 1960s and 70s I was a huge "Star Trek" fan...but til I got into "Firefly", I never thought a future space themed series could top my loyalty to the original "Star Trek".... "Firefly" won my heart and mind as my all time favorite so quickly...it boggles the senses to comprehend.... HOW could a network be so completely and utterly void of sound wisdom by letting a series so epic as "Firefly" tank in less than one season.

You guys know TNG, right? Well they had a great chemistry as well, which is one of the reasons why it was so good. Imagine what Firely could've been if they didn't cancel it? In the very first season they bonded so much, the vision was incredible - everyone was feeding off of it, and the very first season was brilliant. My god, what have they done... a pox on all their beach houses!

Aaah shit! It made me cry again. I miss 'em so much. So many untold stories, so many questions. And what does the fqn Fox says? Couldn't HBO pick it up?

Thank you for a great show and movie. RIP Ron Glass.

With the recent success of all the new Star Wars shows(The Mandalorian, Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, Etc.) The studios now know that there is an audience for a series like Firefly. I hope someone sees the potential and brings it back.

It's making me cry

This Series really like all or most of Joss's creations have took people to new heights.

The soundtrack was awesome!

Why doesn't this have 5 million views?!??!

The absolute worst decision ever in the history of television was the cancelation of Firefly. It irks me to this day and every time I binge watch this wonderful piece of art. There is a reason it repeatedly ranks #1 in the best SCI-FI series ever produced. Just think of the high-quality storytelling considered when doing such a comparison. A true travesty.

I love what Firefly was and mourn what and where it could have gone. "Browncoats keep em flying"

Arguably the greatest ensemble that's ever lived.

That made me really sad. I loved that show.

In Memory of Ron Glass.

Every episode had the depth and quality of a feature film.

I cannot believe that this series did not go for 10 years or MORE. I never even heard of this untill a couple years ago.

Such a shame. 5-10 episodes more just to get all out of the characters would have been awesome.

Here I am at the end of 2020. The loss of Ron glass- Book- makes me weep. 2021 is around the corner. Please- can we revisit this? I need it back..

I saw the show once when it was broadcast and could never find it again. But that one time was WOW! I want to see more of this!

Its doom was mainly management on Fox's part. Poor/misleading advertisment, inconsistant time slots in a world without dvr, airing episodes out of order all contributed to people simply not knowing it was on or what it was about at the time. Hence, no-one watched it and Fox cancelled it, not realising the poor viewing were due to there own mis-managment.

I introduced my young son too Angle and then Firefly. I only had my little boy for 11 years before his abusive father and his boring parents took him from me. I made sure he had every season of both.

Shiny. Keep on flying.

I hate that this series didn't get a pile of series. Great characters and a really interesting universe.

This makes me sad. There will probably never be a second season, but I'll hope for it anyway.

'Firefly' became my 2nd Joss Whedon show. 1st being 'Angel'.

Please make more Firefly. Audiobooks, visual novels, anything really would shiny.

I wonder to what extent Battlestar Galactica, which came out right as Firefly ended, changed the rules in the sense that that series had a long narrative arc and became a huge success. Did BSG prove to networks that viewers had an appetite for a science fiction show where we were going to have to get to know a bunch of characters and their backstories?

Just a show ahead of its time. Fast forward 10 years when tv storytelling became blockbuster phenomenons that have outshined Hollywood since.

Luckily I was working at a Video Rental Store when I saw Firefly on the shelf, so I got to see the show in the correct order. I was tired of all these action packed Hollywood explosion Sci Fi TV shows and I saw this and said I'd try it out during my 30 min break. As soon as I so the slow paced world building of the pilot Episode (that FOX didn't like because it wasn't action packed), I stoppe watching it and decided to rent it so I could enjoy it. Firefly is my 2nd favorite Sci Fi world with Babylon 5 being my first best Sci Fi world.

I understood about 30% of their Chinese dialogue in the series. That's good enough for me.
