Finally starting FIREFLY! | EP. 1-3 REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@sterlinggecko3269]

I like how the Alliance troopers are wearing Starship Troopers combat armor.

[@AaronLitz]

And Weyland-Yutani gun emplacements.

[@Logan_Baron]

Always up for a Firefly reaction (That's actually how my journey into reaction videos started) but it's especially good when it's a reactor that I already watch and know their personality.

[@Metzwerg74]

same here.... love to see them falling in love with firefly...

[@kiltedbroshar4187]

Same lol

[@ItsAsparageese]

Same on all counts lol

[@bongodave13]

I'm such a fan, I love to watch reactions.

[@crescentmethod]

Can't wait for your whole journey in this series. Hope you enjoy it!

[@jlinkous05]

I am a leaf on the wind

[@corvacks8924]

Watch me soar

[@JohnSmith-kf8mv]

My turn.

[@scalefree]

"Ivan" is a crazy Ivan, a maneuver invented by Soviet sub captains to evade pursuit. a sub's sonar sensors are all found facing forward in the bow. when a Soviet sub suspects an enemy sub is following them he has his sub pull a 180 so the sensors are facing backwards & sends a sonar blast that temporarily blinds any sub that's following behind then turns in a random direction & heads off, taking advantage of any potential enemy's temporary blindness for cover. the maneuver was popularized by The Hunt For Red October but it's a real thing.

[@Necro616]

Can we just talk about how beautiful that last shot with Book and Amara is? Here is this holy man who's feeling lost, and then you have this companion who offers him words of wisdom, with her hand gently placed on his head. Its like the roles are reversed between the two of them in that moment.

[@dexterpoindexter3583]

Inara is a gem beyond gems, in sci fi. 😽

[@mhlevy]

Thank you so much for reacting to my favorite show of all time! I hope you'll enjoy it, and you'll become a "Browncoat" like the rest of us!

[@daerdevvyl4314]

One of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us one of us

[@coachmikesfilmroom3111]

I haven't met a person yet to watch this show and not become a Browncoat.

[@leesweets4110]

@@coachmikesfilmroom3111 I went right out and bought me a pair of blue gloves.

[@davidedwards1705]

Brown coats for life keep up the fight.

[@dexterpoindexter3583]

She'll be sporting a Jayne-style knitted hat before spring. 😄

[@JasonON]

I'm here for this. The world does not have enough Firefly and the crew of Serenity.

[@shadow1182]

Oh my goodness! Firefly!? Wow today just keeps getting better. I hope you enjoy the show, Addie! 🙌

[@jamesellis1972]

Yes! Firefly became such a loved show that even after it was cancelled, there was such a demand for more that a few years later a movie was made. Thank you for reacting to this great series.

[@petethebeat4868]

"Money wasn't good enough. What happens when it is? That'll be an interesting day." "If I were to kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me and you will be armed." "We're still flying. That's not much. That's enough." My favorite punchlines. They couldn't have done this any better!

[@RushfanDave]

So excited you are doing Firefly. This is by far my favorite show ever. Could have easily been 10 seasons if the network hadn't screwed them. The show has so much heart. Great writing. Great characters. Great cast. So thankful we got the movie to ease the pain of the stunted end to the show. Looking forward to your journey aboard Serenity.

[@HelloThere.GeneralKenobi]

"I aim to misbehave" Heyyy, it's Serenity and the crew!! It's totally worth the wait to see these reactions!! I'm hoping you gain a large number of subscribers because of this. I got hooked on watching reaction videos for this reason. Awesome start and there's more fun to have in the future!! Take care of yourself, Addie!! Awesome to see Ollie as always!!

[@Hiraghm]

Okay, my usual speech... Before writing Firefly, Joss Whedon had read a book about the Confederate War; this story is based loosely on that idea. The Independents, for whom Mal fought, battled the Alliance; think of them as the South and North, respectively. And it ended pretty much the same way. There is a deleted scene you should see, where Zoe explains to Simon about what happened in Serenity valley... It was pretty bad. NOT A SPOILER Mal had been a sergeant in charge of about 20 soldiers, including Zoe. Officer attrition was so great, he ended up commanding 2,000. When they were told to stand down, both sides left the remaining 600 sitting there in Serenity valley. After a couple of weeks when they were retrieved, there were about 200 left... and of Mal's original command, only Zoe. You might guess that Mal never got over that experience.

[@canadianicedragon2412]

I can't wait to see you react to this. One of my favourite series. Ever. Edit: Your reaction to Crow's departure was everything one could hope for. Also... no one escapes the lure of Firefly. Watch one episode... made you can turn away... 2... or more your hooked and too invested to stop. When it aired the "network" screwed everything up and cancelled the show... but the Brown Coats keep growing with every new person that starts watching it.

[@Scarabswarm]

Great writing, great acting, great worldbuilding, great set design and costuming. This show is the magic that happens when the stars align. Hope you continue to enjoy the series, it's a wonderful ride.

[@davidedwards1705]

13:07 No greater love than that of Simon Tame for River. He sacrificed EVERYTHING for her; his career, his wealth, his family, and his freedom for her.

[@VegetaLF7]

Absolutely. We see a lot of familial love across the different Wheaonverse shows, but it all pales to Simon and what he'll do for River.

[@dmwalker24]

I had recently been binge-watching through some of your more recent uploads I've missed, and I'm so happy to see that you're doing Firefly. I can assure you my fellow Browncoats are going to be here for it. Just something to keep in mind about this show... The moral/ethical principles, ideology, and motivations of the characters are at least as important as the events they experience throughout the series. So, I think you already have the right idea in wanting to understand these characters better.

[@calebwilliams7659]

Addie I am SOOOOOOO excited you are watching this series! It rocks hard! #browncoatsforever FYI, they will on occasion speak in Mandarin when they want to say something mean to someone, apparently it's more polite. Series is set 500 years in the future. Humans have moved to a huge new solar system with quite a few habitable moons and planets.

[@CaptainFrost32]

... they made many planets and moons habitable. As Mal and Zoe described, bare minimum living conditions before colonists are dropped and facing unknown perils.

[@VolatileSupernova]

I love how Zoe says "Jayne stop it, you'll scare the women" lol she's such a badass warrior.

[@Flastew]

Welcome to the world of Browncoats. Loved your reaction and how you really seem to be getting into this series. It doesn't take long to become invested in this crew, it is so well written and acted. It will be fun watching you through this series and the ending movie.

[@MotoKriss]

Wow. I was not expecting this but so happy to see it pop up in my subscriptions. Have fun Addie.

[@ar47yrr4p]

I normally see reactors watch the Buffy series first THEN are turned on to Firefly... but then again this channel is a movie reaction channel and not a TV show reaction channel. Not that I'm complaining. If you want to add some TV shows to this channel I'm all for it... I LOVE Firefly and am REALLY excited to watch along with you!

[@phtevenj]

Fun Fact : Episode 1 Jewel Staite actually doesnt like strawberries IRL, but people would bring them to Cons for her because of this episode

[@Logan_Baron]

1:34 "Yes sir" Good job. He likes it when you call him sir.

[@philc2729]

An Ivan, or Crazy Ivan was coined in the movie/book, The Hunt for Red October. It is a term used to indicate that you should turn the tables on someone pursuing you, you do a 180 degrees, and come around behind the pursuer.

[@scubasmith]

So glad you are doing this. I had a rough Friday and I saw this post up and my day turned around. Thank you so much and an Ollie sighting makes it perfect.

[@qjv1922]

Shiny!!! 😃👍 Happy you're onboard with us browncoats! You'll love that show!

[@LuminairPrime]

You can see it happening just from the first episode! ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

[@philstubblefield]

I would have been looking forward to this more than almost anything else you've watched... if I hadn't already watched the full-length reactions on Patreon! 😁 Thank you for finally getting to this fantastic series, Addie! 👍👍

[@iczorro]

As a fun little clue to the level of attention to detail being paid by the characters (and producers), when the alliance is searching the ship and we see the dining table on the pullback reveal of Simon and River being outside? The number of place settings has been changed. They took away the place settings used by Simon and River so that the number would match the crew the alliance had already seen.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

This will be a bitter sweet adventure. It's a great show that was not allowed to live up to it's full potential, but at least got an incredible movie to close it's legacy with.

[@dougwoody332]

Before I hit play, I just wanted to say how excited I am for this journey you're beginning.

[@robertrouse4503]

When they said, "Cry baby cry" " make your mother sigh" is from a Beatles song called "Cry Baby Cry".

[@thijsvandrenth5947]

It will never get old to see an amazing content creator start the adventure of Firefly. I hope you will have a blast watching it and that your experience through the season and movie will be spoiler free!

[@daniela.8763]

I cant express how ecited i´m for this journey. After Addies sing-a-long to the Dark Knight the only thing i can say is: " I wish i wore my white pants"

[@lukefallon8276]

It's great to see a new Browncoat! One of the many reasons I love this show is that almost all of the exposition is done through dialog. And the characters are so well written that we get invested in them from the start. A sci-fi/western/comedy was unique an nothing has come close since. What Fox did to this show is criminal.

[@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb]

When the soldiers are searching Serenity, everybody makes a comment about "why are they looking for River and Simon under the plates?" What everybody is forgetting is that we as viewers know that River and Simon are on the ship but the soldiers in the show don't have this knowledge. They only suspect that the 2 fugitives might be on board and don't know for sure. They are tearing the ship apart looking for contraband. Remember when they were first boarded and the commander mentioned how older ships like Serenity have all those nooks and crannies.

[@SilentBob731]

I'd already moved on to the "music stage" (starting with Dr. Horribles's Sing-Along Blog) portion of the evening, but Addie watching Firefly is not something I can simply put off 'til tomorrow. So glad to welcome another Outlaw into the fold...Browncoats Unite! ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

[@william_santiago]

You are in for a fun ride. Just remember, this was cancelled half way through the season and the movie is meant to wrap up what they didn't get to. The movie was also intended as a pitch to restart the series if it was successful.

[@BigMikeKOE]

Okay. Addie's bringing the fire (no pun intended). 🥳

[@CrippledMerc]

I saw when you uploaded this and I had to hold off until you had a few episodes up because I knew I’d binge it. Introducing people to this series is a great pleasure of mine, and it never fails to leave them wanting more. I mean, we got a movie out of it to tie up loose ends and wrap up the story, but there was so much potential in this series that just wasn’t recognized when it aired originally. Maybe it just wasn’t the right time, idk. They give us so many nuggets that hint at an excellent and deep lore and world that could’ve been explored, but we got what we got, and at least we got that. Can’t wait for you to finish the series and see Serenity.

[@christophercurtis4131]

So glad to be on this journey with you. Firefly is my all-time favorite series. I am highly anticipating your reactions to the rest of the series and the movie. I have something to look forward to now. Once I hear your thoughts on it, I will tell you which episode is my favorite. But I will tell you that my favorite characters are Mal and Kaylee.

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

_buffy_ is the all-time greatest series. _firefly_ is more fully formed out the gate and it had such incredible potential, but was never allowed to realize that potential.

[@StevesTubes]

I'm so glad you are watching this series. It's one of my favorites. Everyone who watches it ends up wishing it hadn't been stupidity canceled by FOX. As good as it was, it had so much more potential.

[@tarbano5681]

So glad to see Firefly on here! This is my favorite show, and sad that it cancelled so prematurely. You will love the characters.

[@noisecrime]

OMG - never commented before, even though I’ve loved your reactions for so long and can’t help but reply to your ‘hello, it’s Addie’ every time. However you starting Firefly is amazing I had to say thx. So looking forward to this, sure you’ll enjoy it.

[@kratosGOW]

It's nothing short of a crime what Fox did with this series! Glad to see you react it it!

[@mikebrown7799]

Hi Addie!😊 That blouse looks great on you!❤ I had my whole Friday reaction order figured out, then you do this and go to the front of the line.😉 Firefly is a very addictive TV show, and definitely one of the best cancelled shows of all time! Great reactions to your first three episodes, Addie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏

[@MrGBH]

Jayne's little prank on Simon actually ended up being helpful, since Simon now knows how to put a spacesuit on properly

[@charlesmartinjr3971]

"There's a LOT going on right now!" Yep. Welcome to *Firefly*.

[@TahiriVeila13ABY]

Finishing with "Serenity" is a must!

[@michaelhoward142]

40:58 Very impressed by the self-censoring you apparently do in all your reactions. I had assumed that certain words just didn't exist in your vocabulary. I have to admit, it tickled my soul when you let that one slip. You're now even more adorable. 😉🤗 So glad to be watching your Firefly journey. This is going to be great!

[@ObeyWannTK6960]

ROTFLMAO the the genuine reaction!

[@Bekka_Noyb]

♥ this show!

[@Drifter_316]

OMG this makes me soooooooo happy that you are finally doing this.

[@jimclayson]

This is going to be EPIC. I've seen all the episodes and the movie many, many times, but seeing someone discover the characters and idiosyncrasies for the first time NEVER gets old. For the record, Jayne is my favorite character. His ability to make every scene he's in more entertaining by giving the other characters someone to play off is highly underappreciated. Book's "man of mystery" schtick makes him a very close second. Just sayin'.

[@jamesosteen09]

Seriously one of the best tv shows ever and the cast of characters is incredible. Enjoy every minute of it!

[@Baralis]

Wow Firefly! My most favorite show ever. Im so ready to share the experience with you.

[@rromano158]

If you haven't realized, when you hear them speaking Chinese, most of the time they are cursing, but because the words or meanings don't translate exactly the same from Chinese to English, they used Chinese to get past the censors. So, anytime you hear them "cursing" just insert your favorite English curses.

[@Bodyknock]

That scene where Mal kicks the guy into the engine is maybe my favorite in the series. 🙂 I don't remember a ton of other scenes from the show in general but that one always stuck in my head.

[@roonilwazlib9877]

"Best thing for everyone, right there with you!" And Addie's reaction to it was perfect!

[@crewchief5144]

Jewel eating that strawberry...always a reason for traveling the 'Verse.

[@alextan1478]

I have this show on my watchlist and I'm gonna try to binge watch it soon.

[@BryanFritchie]

Go ahead and start today. You won't regret it.

[@dunringill1747]

Once you start binging, it will be very difficult to stop.

[@CaptainFrost32]

14 episodes, R. Tam Sessions, and Serenity.

[@Dylan_Platt]

Oh my GOD, I don't know that I've ever clicked a reaction faster. I haven't even started the video yet, had to rush down here to comment bc I'm just so damn excited to see what you think of my favorite show ever.

[@highlander31527]

Seeing Addie react to this series is going to be enjoyable.

[@Metzwerg74]

welcome, to the new Browncoat....

[@Darkhalf2005]

Welcome to the Browncoats :D

[@lethargiceffort2058]

Just finished a long and obnoxious day and immediately flipped my mood seeing that you're starting firefly.

[@WilliamGreer]

FIREFLY!!!

[@whocares110]

I can't even begin to tell you how excited i am for this, i have been waiting for it since i found your channel!

[@thomasriddle7005]

She's doing Firefly! Shiny!

[@blend80]

This is the best suprise ever, so few ppl reacts to Firefly, i love this so much!

[@ArabianLady]

Hi Addie! Firefly is so good! A fun, unique sci fi western. SO glad you plan to watch Serenity too. It's a great journey, can't wait to see you get sucked in! 😂❤

[@42ostoney42o]

out of the 20 or so reactors I've seen who have watched this show YOU are the only one to say something about how absurd it was they flipped over a place mat looking for an adult human. thanks for starting this series you're gonna love it and you'll be a brown coat by the end

[@Imyerda]

Awesome that you've reacted to this . I love this show ,thanks

[@paellaking9007]

yeahh!! glad more channel folks are reacting to this show!! Yayy!

[@greg967]

Glad you found the best show ever to never see a second season :)

[@TerryAllenSwartos]

12:30 *”OOH MY MOTHER!”* I’ve never heard that before! 😂

[@thepyromantic3468]

You have no idea how excited I was to get the notification for this, the single greatest and most underrated show of all time. Also am I the only one that found Addies censor slip up adorable? 🤣

[@emdeeeff]

I like to imagine every universe has some basic laws. Not enforced by police or soldiers or courts, but by the very fabric of reality itself. You can't flaunt them, ever, or the universe _will_ settle accounts with you. Permanently. For Firefly, there seem to be 3 rules. (1) Try not to attract the Alliance's attention. (2) Stay the hell away from Reavers. And most importantly, (3) Never, ever, ever, *EVER* hurt Kaylee.

[@pleutron]

I am sooooo here for this 👍

[@WoodysPickle]

This is it boys!! She's finally done it!!!! Shiny!

[@AndyMatts44]

How we know how invested Addie is - "At least they let us go...."

[@cobrian45]

What an amazing surprise. Im so here for this. You're going to fall in love with this and then be so angry it ends. You mentioned the movie. For sure you need to finish the journey.

[@CarBENbased]

HELL YEAH! New Browncoat in the oven! Welcome to Firefly!

[@stpetie7686]

Oh, Addie. You are going to love this show. I'm glad you're going to have the experience. I'm equally glad I get to go along for the ride.

[@martinholt8168]

The dinosaur scene was how Alan Tudyk auditioned for Wash.

[@metoo7557]

You're going to love this series. it's good lighthearted fun

[@edwinrollins142]

WOOHOO, FIREFLY!!!!! THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT!!!!!

[@rayjaymor8754]

@28:20 I am convinced that the "You got time to do my hair" bit from Mal was ad-libbed by Nathan Fillion and they decided to keep it in. It's hard to tell though 'cos Joss Whedon and Nathan both have similar senses of humour.

[@tomshumaker7370]

Hey Addie, you need to watch FIREFLY, deleted scene #2. It will give you alot of insight who Macolm Renolds is and his relationship with Zoe. I never understood why they cut this scene.

[@kentbarnes1955]

Welcome to a GREAT journey. The "best" ensemble cast ever...probably the best "single" season TV show ever. You'll truly enjoy the journey these characters go on. A great balance of details, suspense, comedy, and sometimes even horror.

[@keithgoodnight3463]

I love to see another reactor putting Firefly on their list! Now that you're dipping into Joss Whedon's work, have you considered reacting to Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Or is that one you've already seen?

[@Audra1964]

Three at a time. I’m here for that! Welcome to the Firefly family.

[@seannovack3834]

This show was criminally cut short. You are well on your way to earning your Browncoat Addie!!

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

Yeah, I really can't wait to see the rest through your eyes!!! You will understand the greatness of this show. I will happen. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.

[@joegarcia3214]

Coolness addie. This show is all about the characters and it kills because of that

[@Soundtracks92]

Firefly is my favorite TV show of all time! And there’s only 1 season! So happy to see you react to this! 🥰

[@chuckmanion1128]

Of all the possible jump-scares... THAT is the one that gets her to curse? lol. I never thought that one was that bad.

[@tadmurphy7436]

Hey Addie. I'm looking at 228 comments and I'm sure they're going to say the same thing that I am. Welcome aboard Firefly. You're in for a hell of a ride, and unfortunately it's only 14 episodes long. Yes you're going to fall in love with these guys. And it will all come together. You will have questions, they will all be answered. As a brown coat I can't wait to take the ride with you. This will be fun. As always you're awesome.❤️💚☘️🇺🇦

[@nomis]

OMGOSH woman! I've been waiting for this for so long!!! YES! LET"S GOOOOO!!!!

[@chetstevensq]

"Somebody won't replace that crappy compression coil"... Hope that doesn't come back to bite us!

You're gonna luv this single season&movie Addie. And I'm excited to watch you luving it!
