You don't have to be a connoisseur of film and television history to keep up with the fascinating story of Firefly, which happened in 2003. Then Fox ordered a sci-fi adventure series from Joss Whedon in the spirit of Star Wars, Star Trek or Babylon 5.
The future director of The Avengers filmed a space opera combining science fiction and western, but for a number of reasons, not only did the network refuse to continue the popular show, but also wasn't too eager to show the finished 14 episodes.
The indignation of fans knew no bounds, but all the viewers and creators of Firefly managed to achieve was the shooting of the feature film Serenity, a cult in narrow circles, but not very successful at the box office space action movie.
Twenty years after the movie's release, talk of canceling Firefly still rages, especially since the show's actors are still closely associated with the show's characters.

It lasted only one season, but fans still mourn the demise of the sci-fi/western Firefly. As much as we love watching (and rewatching) the series, sometimes it's not enough.
Are you longing for a little more Captain Tight Pants? Want to see Zoe quietly kick some adversary's butt? Wishing you could revisit the Hero of Canton?
Well, we can't bring back Firefly -- oh, how we wish we could! -- but we can tell you where you can tune in to see the cast now.
If you can't get enough of the crew of the Serenity, read on to find out where you can see them now.

Shepherd Book was the preacher with a cryptic past who boards the Serenity and befriends its crew. We loved Book's warmth and acceptance of his other crew members while still being able to hold onto his faith.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" was a bittersweet movie. It will be the last time we'll see all these characters united, but not to fret. If you're in the mood for a story about misfits flying around from adventure to adventure in a starship, you're blessed with possibilities.
"Firefly," the cult classic space western by "The Avengers" director Joss Whedon, is an obvious one -- its influence hangs over the "Guardians" films. "Firefly," though, owed its own debts to past science fiction. There's a persistent rumor that the image of the naked River Tam (Summer Glau) in a box was taken from a nearly identical shot in a 1998 anime. The anime in question? "Outlaw Star."
Set in the far future when mankind has colonized the stars, our lead is Gene Starwind, who dreams of traveling space yet has been grounded since his father died in a pirate attack years prior.

Fans who watched "Firefly" when it aired on Fox for its one and only season must feel really justified these days. The network aired the episodes out of order and canceled the show before the entire season had aired, and yet its appeal is undimmed all these years later. Watching it now, it's almost comical how they could have missed how brilliant the series was. Sure, there are some things in the 2002 space Western that didn't age well, including the alleged actions of its creator Joss Whedon. Still, it created a whole new version of the quippy patter conversation style that went beyond what Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" gave us.
The show has gained cult status over the years, with fans called Browncoats gathering at conventions some two decades after "Firefly" premiered and the release of the 2005 film "Serenity," which essentially served as the series' second season. "Firefly" references...

December 20 marks a dark anniversary for sci-fi fans. On that day in 2002, Fox aired its last episode of Firefly — which, due to scheduling shenanigans on the network’s part, was the pilot episode of the series. Created by Joss Whedon, Firefly was a spacefaring Western about the crew of the Firefly-class vessel Serenity as they eked out a living on the fringes of an Alliance-controlled star system. “When I pitched the show, I said this is about nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things,” Whedon told reporters in 2002. Those nine people were captain Mal (Nathan Fillion), lieutenant Zoe (Gina Torres), pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk), companion-for-hire Inara (Morena Baccarin), mercenary Jayne (Adam Baldwin), mechanic Kaylee (Jewel Staite), surgeon Simon (Sean Maher), child prodigy River (Summer Glau), and religious sage Book (Ron Glass). The show, given a Friday-night death slot, was practically doomed from the start,...

Though writer-director Joss Whedon may not be who we thought he was, there is no question that his television shows remain widely loved and celebrated. This is especially true of the imaginative sci-fi Western "Firefly," which aired for only 11 glorious episodes in 2002. Most fans wouldn't see the remaining three episodes until the series came out on DVD in 2004. Fox bungled this one, pure and simple.
Fans mourn what might've been the way Independents look back on the Unification War, but there's no profit to be had in wishing things were different. "Firefly" gave us 14 wonderful episodes before flying off quietly into that good night. At least there was a form of closure in the 2005 film "Serenity," and the story goes on in a series of graphic novels. As the theme song says, "You can't take the sky from me."
With that in mind, this piece means to sort the wheat from the chaff.

It's difficult sometimes to know when something is over. Much like relationships, TV shows can wear out their welcome, taking too long to realize that it's time to say goodbye. Other series are cut down in their prime, stopped before they could even truly get started, with their potential never fully realized. "Firefly" is an example of the latter, just another casualty of Fox's itchy trigger finger, canceled after only 11 of its 14 episodes had aired back in 2002. Centering on a motley crew of smugglers traveling the 'Verse in the spaceship Serenity, no one could've predicted the space Western would gain any traction through DVD sales, let alone enough to warrant a feature film continuation. Even after the 2005 release of "Serenity," viewers still hoped for more and "Firefly" has enjoyed a rich life beyond television in both comics and novels.

"Firefly" broke a naming pattern. Creator Joss Whedon's previous TV series were named for their protagonists: "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." "Firefly," on the other hand, is named for its setting; the Firefly-class spaceship Serenity. The ship itself is the main character since it's the glue that holds all of the cast together.
Whereas "Buffy" was a hero's journey, "Firefly" is an ensemble. The supporting characters are as important as Serenity's captain, Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion). According to Adam Baldwin, who played the crude mercenary Jayne Cobb, there not being a single main character also meant none of the cast had the extra job security a lead actor usually does.
Adam Baldwin Explains The Title
"Joss Whedon: The Biography" by Amy Pascale features a quote from Baldwin, recalling what Whedon told the cast at the outset of the series: "You're all expendable. If I choose, you can go at any time.

With only 14 episodes to its name, "Firefly" had time to realize just a fraction of its creators' ideas. Since its cancellation, the show's actors and writers have discussed many ideas for unmade episodes. Among them is Alan Tudyk, who played Hoban "Wash" Washburne, the eccentric but very skilled pilot of the starship Serenity.
Wash never got much backstory during the series' abbreviated run — his full name is never even said aloud. The bulk of his character development, including his sole focus episode "War Stories," centered on his relationship with Zoe (Gina Torres). So, Tudyk took initiative in fleshing out his character. As he's recounted multiple times, he even had an unused idea for what Wash was up to during the Unification War. While his future wife was off fighting the authoritarian Alliance, Wash had a much different experience.

The Joss Whedon TV series "Firefly" ran for a single season on Fox. It never really had a chance for a successful run on network television; the episodes were run out of order, and three were left unaired. Despite this, enough people loved the show and bought the DVD box set that Universal Pictures gave a green light to a follow-up film, "Serenity."
"Firefly" is set hundreds of years in the future, in a world where humans had to leave Earth and colonize space. Powerful people run the more advanced planets, but those who wanted their freedom, fought (and lost) a war over it. Those rebels are now scattered through the wilderness of space, settling into a sort of wild west existence.

A “Terminator” anime series has been ordered at Netflix, Variety has learned.
As the project is still in the early stages, plot details are being kept under wraps. Netflix has partnered with Skydance on the series, with Skydance having produced the last two “Terminator” films. The series is produced in partnership with Production I.G , who Netflix has had a production line deal with since 2018. Production I.G’s past anime credits include “Ghost in the Shell,” “B: The Beginning,” and “Eden of the East.”
“’Terminator’ is one of the most iconic sci-fi stories ever created–and has only grown more relevant to our world over time,” said John Derderian, Netflix’s vice president of Japan and anime. “The new animated series will explore this universe in a way that has never been done before. We can’t wait for fans to experience this amazing new chapter in the epic battle between machines and humans.

Summer Glau is still around for those that are willing to look, but her prominence in show business has gone up and down throughout the years due to the roles she’s taken on, which is pretty normal really. A lot of people possibly remember her as River Tam from the show Firefly or the movie Serenity, where she was seen to play tough as nails fighter that was still a bit unbalanced at times but was undeniably deadly. Since then however she’s taken on quite a few roles that have managed to keep her busy and well within the public

“Firefly” executive producer Tim Minear recently reawakened fans’ demand for a revival (or maybe just made their cries louder than they already were) when he tweeted out a picture from the final day of shooting on Joss Whedon’s short-lived, cult-classic Fox series. And then Whedon added fuel to their fire by retweeting this.
Since Minear started this whole thing, TheWrap asked both him and Fox’s president of entertainment, Michael Thorn, what it would take to revive the Nathan Fillion-led space western at the Television Critics Association press tour Tuesday.
“The macro answer is, any time we look at one of our classic titles, if there’s a way to reinvent it for today so it’s as resonant now as the original was, and is, to the fans, we’re wide open,” Thorn said. “I loved ‘Firefly,’ personally, and I watched every episode. I didn’t work on it,...

Fans of Joss Whedon’s Firefly would love to see the series get revived. At this point I doubt it’ll ever happen, but ya never know… crazier things have happened in Hollywood. If it did happen, it would be awesome to see the original cast come back.
During a panel at Fan Expo Canada, Summer Glau was asked if she would be up for revisiting the show if it was revived, and while she is hesitant, if it did happen, she would jump on board, she says she “wouldn’t be able to stay away” from it.
“I think that... I’m torn. I’m torn, because the story is like the underdog story about underdogs. I think that part of the magic about Firefly is that it didn’t last, and that all of you are the ones keeping it alive.”
She does make a good point there.

In addition to just being hyped in general for yet another season of Titans, I’d have to say that I’m especially looking forward to seeing what this series will do with Deathstroke. Like many of you, I dug what Manu Bennett brought to the character on The CW’s Arrow, but let’s see what happens once Esai Morales’ Slade Wilson is let loose with a TV-ma rating. Oh yes, there will be blood.
If you’ve been keeping up with news pertaining to this series, then you’ve probably seen its version of Deathstroke by now. To me, at least, the costume forces me to recall Tony S. Daniel’s time writing and drawing for the character in the comic book medium – and we all remember how no punches were pulled during that run.
Something also worth mentioning is how the mercenary’s family will be fleshed...

This week it was revealed that the upcoming 12th season of “The Big Bang Theory” will be its last. So you can bet that in their final go-around, the show will try to recruit just about every guest star in the galaxy. But of course after over 250 episodes so far, the show has already had a nerd’s fantasy of astronauts, physicists and Spock. Ahead of its final season, we decided to look at some of the show’s most memorable cameos. While Bob Newhart, Christine Baranski, Judy Greer, Jack McBrayer and more have had memorable guest appearances in other roles, this list is devoted to instances in which the stars have played themselves on the show. Excelsior!
Buzz Aldrin
The famed astronaut Buzz Aldrin rattled off three different candy-themed space puns to some disappointed trick-or-treaters in his brief cameo. “I’ve been on the moon,” Aldrin said. “What have you done?...

Though this year’s show marked my seventh consecutive trip to Motor City Comic Con, it may very well go down as my most memorable. Sure, I’m still fatigued after trying to experience as many facets of the event as I could, but every moment and penny spent were 100% worth it.
These days, many who flock to conventions have their sights set on whatever celebrities may be on hand and, believe me, this effort delivered like never before – especially if you dig superheroes as I do. Not only were the 40th anniversary of Superman: The Movie observed and the life of Margot Kidder honored, but the current crop of DC TV shows were well represented.
In fact, the guys who paved the way for The CW’s present prime time lineup were there in full effect, those being Smallville‘s Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum. But if you wanted to meet the new guard,...

Batgirl is the latest DC hero to be touted for a solo movie, with Joss Whedon at the helm. But who is Batgirl? Let's take a look...
Holy déjà vu, Batman! Only last week I was writing about the announcement that a new member of the Bat-family has been given their own movie among Warner Bros’ already-jam-packed DC Extended Universe slate. Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, was the chap under discussion then.
Last week, on top of that, the news broke that Joss Whedon is writing, directing and producing a Batgirl movie as part of the Dceu. Warners is clearly serious about expanding out from Ben Affleck’s Batman to tell other stories about cowl-loving caped crusaders.
Here’s everything you need to know about Batgirl, mixed with some possibly-useless fan speculation about casting, villains and more...

“Firefly” tends to rank pretty high in the gone-too-soon TV canon. A sci-fi series created by Joss Whedon and canceled by Fox after its first season, which ran for 14 episodes between late 2002 and early 2003, the show has since become a cult classic. To hear star Nathan Fillion tell it, one of Whedon’s ideas that never materialized was especially compelling.

This past weekend I attended Long Beach Comic Con where a Firefly reunion panel took place! As you know, the classic sci-fi series only lasted 14 episodes before Fox prematurely pulled the plug on it. Since then fans haven't given up on saying that they want more.
Nathan Fillion (Captain Malcolm Reynolds) was in attendance along with co-stars Summer Glau (River Tam), Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb), Jewel Staite (Kaylee Frye), and Sean Maher (Dr. Simon Tam).
During the panel, Fillion revealed a crazy pitch for an opening scene of an episode that was never made. It's a shame because it sounds so cool!

Con season has well and truly slid into gear now; with Awesome Con kicking things off a few weeks ago and Sdcc and NerdHQ fast approaching. Of course, con season is really year-round these days; but for me, it starts with Awesome Con and ends with New York Comic Con.
This year’s Awesome Con was, as usual, a great start to the season for me. What I like about the con is that despite only being four years old, it’s managed to integrate various fun aspects of different flavors of cons into a fairly seamless whole – meaning that if you aren’t there for one particular facet of the offerings, there are plenty of others to experience. Here were some of the highlights for me:

Since the announcement of Comic-Con HQ, the coming streaming platform from Comic-Con International and Lionsgate, we’ve all been wondering what exactly they’ll be streaming. We know they will be streaming Hall H panels from the convention, but what other programming will the paid subscription service be offering? Well, the first answer is Con Man, the web series from Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion.
Comic-Con HQ will be the exclusive home of season one of the crowdfunded series beginning this June, with a second season coming this fall. If you are not familiar with the series, here’s a synopsis:
