Over the last two months, I have presented as the space video of the day all of the episodes of the excellent TV series Firefly. Even though Fox did their best to (ultimately successfully) kill the series, the show developed an enormous base of devoted fans. The pressure on Fox to continue the story was so great that they eventually brought the series to the big screen with the movie Serenity, which I was lucky enough to see prior to general release in exchange for a review on my blog. So, it is with great pleasure that I present to you this week's space video of the week, Serenity; this is presented in two parts, so scroll down for the second half. "I'm a leaf on the wind..."
Today's space video of the day is the fouteenth - and final - episode of Firefly, entitled Objects in Space. Even though Fox showed the series out of order, moved it around the schedule, and pre-empted it several times before finally cancelling it, the show still developed a huge following. Pressure from the fans, marshalled with the help of the internet, convinced Fox to continue the story in the form of the movie Serenity, which will be shown here sometime next week.
Today's space video of the day is one of my favorite episodes of Firefly, Out of Gas. The TV movie that began the series introduced a few of the characters - this episode, told in a series of flashbacks, shows how the rest of the crew came to be on Serenity. Remember that compression coil that Kaylee kept on bugging Mal about? He should have listened to her...
