In a thread about people with gender-neutral names using pronouns in their email sign-offs to reduce confusion…

Hi! I’m making a “friendship bracelet” for my good friend who LOVES Firefly and I wanted to know if there was any one-word or a short phrase specific to the show that would be meaningful to receive on a bracelet ? (Along the lines of “grateful” or “thank you” or even like a curse word lol) Thank you!

Here's how it is. Over a span of about a month or two (really trying to savor each of the 14 episodes) I have watched every episode of this show, and boy I love it! I'm a long time fan of Nathan Fillion, and I thought I'd give it a try! Totally a new favorite show for me!! Serenity was awesome (except WASH DIED WTF HE WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER) but now that it's over I feel really sad. It's a bit too soon just to watch the series again, so what do you guys suggest to continue my Firefly journey? You got media, I'll consume it- don't much care what it is.

Love the firefly references, such a great series

Our base of operations will be the ~Homewood Suites~ By Hilton in Center Valley (right outside Bethlehem, PA). All rooms are suites and include: a pull out couch, a kitchenette (fridge, microwave, stovetop), hot breakfast every morning and free parking.

I'm a fan of Easter eggs, so I added some flair to the QR code I printed to let folks connect to my home network.

Shes maintained for years that we watched it and didn't like it because she's not a fan of NF. She fussed at me this morning because "You didn't tell me Alan Tudyk was in it" and she loves him from Resident Alien.

So here we go. I am a leaf on the wind.

A new comic by Boom Studios. It's ok I guess. Visually it looks nice but the faces don't look like the actors : (.

It tells Mal's origin story, how he became a Browncoat. You know, why not.

But I still want more stories with the original crew. If I was Boom Studios, I would continue with episode 15 and give us a proper season 1. And then do a different version of Serenity as season 2.

Or why not do the novels by Titan Books as comics?

When they get on the abandoned ship they mention there were no signs of a struggle but wouldn’t a Reaver attack have involved at least a little struggling?

With Joss Whedon having written Resurrection and the crew of the Betty (iirc) being a precursor for to that of Serenity, I often wonder how our favorite crew of semi-heroic smugglers would have handled this situation.

Would there be a moment of River inexplicably beating Xenomorph ass somehow? Would Wash or Book have gotten Facehugged? Maybe Jayne makes a heroic sacrifice?

I can only imagine how awesome it could've been.

Anyone want these books? I'm in the SF Bay Area, let me know.

From TeePublic before anyone asks.

So I had a good look through and couldn’t find a best quotes (might be to far down to see) from each character main and secondary but I would like though I have no idea how if you folks could show me where it has been done ( or how to do it) I would very very much appreciate it.

I've had the book for a while now. Recently started cooking up a lot. Today I made Pork hash for my weeks breakfast and Blue Sun grits! Last week I made corn dodgers for an event that I went to.

So random question that popped into my head, does anyone have any idea what websites are still selling Firefly/Serenity merch of any kind? And I don't mean a random shirt making website like redbubble, but something that has real, bespoke items like QMx or Loot Crate. I'm just always interested in new stuff to add to my collection.

Ok, so I know that the comics and novels are very divisive... especially the Boom! Studios comics. (Though I have read the Dark Horse comics and absolutely loved them.)

I personally haven't read a lot of the Boom! Studios books, and have had mixed feelings on the ones I have read, but I've been pre-ordering and buying them as they come out because Firefly is simply an incredibly important show to me. I'm pretty much always going to buy and eventually read anything Firefly related. I'm also just a collector in general, so if there's tie-in material to something I like, I prefer to own it.

As you can see, I have a whole crap-ton of the books, including some of them in multiple editions just for the sake of collecting. But I'm curious if anything knows if there's a concrete, updated list of everything available up to this point? Especially the collected hardcover releases? I've gone on a few sites, including Amazon, Boom! Studios and Wikipedia, but they're all either not up to date, or just confusing and tend to lump them together with other, unrelated books that have "Firefly" in their name.

(Also, since this is Reddit, I'm sure someone will insult me for collecting these books, because god forbid someone collect something fun. So just don't bother... you won't get a rise out of me.)

Yeah, I bet that was hard. 😁

I came out of Sam’s Club, emptied my shopping cart into my trunk, and started looking for a cart return corral. A guy on his way in says, “I’ll take it.”

Just because it happened to come to me, I said, “All yours. It’s a good cart. A cart like this, you treat her proper, she’ll be with you the rest of your shopping trip.”

He gave me a blank look, but the woman with him lit up and exclaimed, “Shiny!”

I’ve been smiling ever since.
