The Firefly Named Serenity

[Foerumokaz]

So I just finished the 2005 movie Serenity, a great movie that was based off of the hit series Firefly and decided that it definitely needs a thread for fans of the movie and series! To start off this thread, who is you favorite character, and why are he/she your favorite character?

[Quirk]

Wash and Serenity are the best characters, bar none, because 1) He's Wash and 2) it's a really cool spaceship.

Kaylee I guess?

Also I'd like to say that the licensed comic book spinoffs for this movie are really great. They bridge the gap between the show and the movie in a very satisfying way. You won't be disappointed. Many Sci-Fi worlds have a single technology at their center, and Firefly's is terraforming. You can tell a sci-fi series is great when it makes you excited/scared of the day when such a technology is actually invented.

Hmm. Wash and Kaylee? I actually liked Simon the most, just because he always likes to keep a calm, leveled head. I don't know, maybe I can just relate with him. I'll definitely have to check out those comic books; do you have a link that I could possibly use to see them?

The movie was only named "Serenity", but I'm glad that you liked it!

Yeah, no, that's a spam bot, buddy.

[Wesley Foxx]

Remember, don't reply/respond to spambots, otherwise you look crazy when they get de100ted :V

[Foerumokaz]

Oh damn. Spambots are still a thing on this forum? I presumed that that was stopped awhile ago.

[Wesley Foxx]

They're getting clever again. We've had an influx lately, especially in the movie related threads. Just report them when you see them.

I kinda liked all the characters. I felt they all did stuff and helped bring the show to life -- or maybe I'm bad at answering favorite questions. Although...

Best Firefly episode is 'Out Of Gas'. At least, I think so. It felt like a series finale sort of episode.

[Oblivion]

Book, Simon, Wash, and Mal. Then Jayne and River. Then everybody else.

No real bad characters on the cast IMO. Just some that didn't get as much screen time or background.

[Eldunari]

Jayne and Simon are defiantsly my favorite characters. simon is just so nice and cute. and Jayne is just so darn funny.

[apologija]

Firefly is def my favourite series of all time; I've rewatched it so many times I can't even remember.

It's just kind of sad that such great chemistry was ruined by poor planning and scheduling.

At this point, however, I think it's been to long to push for any restarts. Like, it would be fantastic, but in a way as it is it's well done and the movie did a great job of just... Putting a final on it, I guess? Like it sucks there is so little, but as it is it made an impact, will continue to have lasting appeal and won't really be tarnished by anything other then how wonderful it was.

Plus the supplementary material and comics are really fun. I'm glad they're doing those at least.

SHIT I NEVER CAUGHT THAT SHE WAS A FIREFLY AND HER NAME WAS SERENITY.
Y'know, I've been thinking about watching Firefly. It looks really good. Would anyone recommend it to someone with a short attention-span?
