I wrote a college paper on Firefly and got an A

The paper was for a linguistics class. My thesis was (I wrote this paper 5 years ago so it isn't as eloquent) that the linguistic style represented in the show accurately mirrored the development of American English in the original colonies and therefore we would return to this style of speech if we traversed the stars and that the style of speaking is what English would turn into when separated from formalistic education.

I basically said that they traversed the stars and became ranchers and farmers and were separated from the central government enough to develop their own forms of education, which lead to the evolution of our modern American (2000s) to the old speech shown in the show. This is similar to the settlement of the Americas because of the separation from the State.

I also went in to how the form of speech in the show is just a natural development because it is in sense easier to speak in the cowboy drawl.

The funny thing is that this is all very heavy handedly stated by the show. Their decision to show a cowboy way of life and use their speech patterns was brilliant though, especially mixing in Chinese.

I am pretty proud of that paper though lol.

This show is inch perfect

Got Disney plus recently and to my pleasant surprise I found Firefly was included. Watched it first time as a 14-15 yr old so don’t remember much, now I’m 29 and it holds up so well in 2024. Still a few more eps to go so I’m gonna savour as much as I can. PS. Damn you to hell Fox broadcasting company.

Unexpected Firefly reference on MRI safety board registry

I'm taking the Magnetic Resonance Safety Officer exam soon, and while researching, I came across the accrediting board's article describing how the designation is meant to be displayed. Made me laugh out loud, but nobody knew why.

Aerith from Final Fantasy 7 remake/rebirth

Playing through Rebirth at the moment and can't help but see more than a passing resemblence to Kalee, even down to her manner of speaking. Is it just me?

Had chatgpt generate a theoretical episode of Firefly. "Shadows in the Black"

Title: "Shadows in the Black"

Synopsis: In this theoretical episode of Firefly, the crew finds themselves on a remote and desolate planet, desperately low on supplies. Serenity's engine is on the brink of failure, leaving the crew stranded in the unforgiving wilderness. As tensions rise, a mysterious distress signal leads them to an abandoned mining facility.

Upon arrival, they discover a dark secret hidden within the facility's depths – a clandestine government experiment gone awry. The crew must navigate treacherous corridors filled with remnants of the failed experiment while confronting their own fears and haunting memories. As the shadows of the past loom large, alliances are tested, and trust becomes a scarce commodity.

Meanwhile, Inara's expertise in negotiation is put to the test when a group of enigmatic survivors emerges, each harboring a secret agenda. With the clock ticking and Serenity's condition worsening, the crew must unravel the mysteries of the facility before it consumes them all. "Shadows in the Black" explores the depth of loyalty, the cost of survival, and the lingering consequences of a galaxy scarred by government interference.

Are there any online guides to Firefly?

I'm looking for something that helps describe the universe, government, factions, etc.. in a generic fashion for a home brew game.

I have a good idea of what I want to do in the game, but I'm always on the lookout for any new info or fresh perspectives that can help me grok the universe of Firefly better.

BIG card sleves?

Has anyone found card sleeves for the 4x6" cards in the firefly board game? These are the story cards, setup cards, and solo play cards. Amazon sells some sleeves that size for photos but I'm not sure if they'd have the same look and feel as other game card sleeves?

Firefly: The Game, Crime and Punishment Expansion

Fellow Browncoats! I was wondering, with all the boxes of the GF9 10th Anniversary edition of the Firefly boardgame arriving, if anyone now has an excess copy of the Crime and Punishment expansion. I ordered just the box and upgraded models and Crime and Punishment is the only expansion I'm missing.

Thanks for looking!

Just finished a complete re-watch, Serenity to Serenity.

I don't believe I have ever binged it so close together before like this, but I came away with an odd feeling: Serenity the movie is, IMHO, exactly like Firefly the TV series, but completely different. I have no idea why I feel this way. I mean, it's the same actors, the same universe, the same ship, but it feels 100% different.

Has anybody else felt like this? Can anybody explain why I might have these feelings?

Thanks, and have a shiny day!

No power in the verse...

I was today years old when I realized that Kaylee said the line "no power in the verse..." first in War Stories. I deserve dishes duty for a month.

First time viewer. Absolutely loved Firefly. Just finished Serenity and… yikes.

I should start off by saying I somehow managed to watch Firefly completely blind. I had no clue what it was about, but I absolutely loved it. The dynamics between the crew where wonderful to watch, every episode was tightly written, and there wasn’t one character I didn’t like. So, I finished Firefly last night and today watched Serenity. I’m going to be honest, I kinda hated it.

-Mal acted like a total asshole

-Simon acted like his and Rivers positions where the same as in episode 1, despite them being accepted into the crew wholeheartedly by episode 13.

-Simon and Kaylee’s relationship went from a mutual fondness for one another, to Kaylee having a crush and Simon not caring at all until the last 20 minutes

-Kaylee, Wash, Zoe, Jayne, Shepard, and Inara might as well have been window dressing for all they added to the plot. It was the Mal, Simon, and River show. Everyone else can get bent I guess. (I’m particularly salty because Kaylee is my favorite character).

-In general, the crew didn’t feel like a family. They felt like good acquaintances who’ve only known each other for a month.

-It’s hard to explain, but It didn’t FEEL like Firefly. Maybe because of the faster pacing, or higher stakes plot, or how out of character everyone felt. I don’t know why.

Listen, it’s totally fine if you liked Serenity. It’s just my personal opinion that it’s gorram awful. Now if you excuse me, I’m going to purge this movie from my memory and find a fanfiction that gives a better ending than this… thing.
