Hello guys!! These reactions were recorded back in 2021 and were PATREON exclusive. Now that I'm still recovering I decided to post the reactions for all of you! ❤ All Full Reactions to Firefly are NOW AVAILABLE ON MY PATREON: www.patreon.com/KazzyReacts

[@JO-qd2bv]

I love people who have no idea what's coming watch this first episode and instantly recognize how good this is going to be

[@pjcornelius]

It always cracks me up when people watch multiple people getting killed but only get really upset when an animal is killed.

[@becca1189]

The people who are injured/die made informed choices as to why they were in that position (& most of them were unscrupulous as well -- R.I.P. Bendis, whose death usually gets a response as well). The horse was innocent. It's also not for nothing that one of the three things that serial killers have in common is the killing (sometimes torture & mutilation) of animals (usually small ones). People who have little to no compassion for animals don't tend to have compassion for humans either. Reactors (& viewers in general) being really upset when an animal is killed (or harmed in any way) is a good thing: their conscience is showing. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

The chemistry of the cast of this series is amazing. Perfect casting.

[@robertanderson6929]

Yeah. If you compare this to something like Star Trek: TNG it was 2-3 seasons (of 26 episodes) into that show before the characters really jelled and the relationships were fully established. But for Firefly they hit the ground running and never looked back.

[@DaxRaider]

lets be honest shooting the horse was the smartest thing he did the whole episode xD she was in cover, but the cover was shootable

From 1979, at the age of 6, until 2001, James Tiberius Kirk was my captain. That changed with this show. I'd follow Malcolm Reynolds anywhere.

[@catherinethurmond4776]

I was that way with Janeway til Reynolds😅

[@DocMicrowave]

lol, Sorry, Kirk is still top of the heap for me. (Probably because I go back a bit further than you.) But yeah, Mal is awesome. Probably the best Space Ship captain to come along in a long time. Still holds up. You certainly won't see a character like Mal in any of today's fair.

[@migmit]

I would get off this ship as soon as possible, TBH. As entertaining as he is to watch, Mal is a terrible leader.

[@JasonON]

In '79, I wasn't quite 6, but it was Han Solo for me. Then, Malcom Reynolds. Still love Firefly. Great show.

[@Ethrianor]

My favourite Mal line is in the next episode, and it tells you everything about him - and I'm not spoiling any further than that.

[@qwaurk985]

"Out here on KZbin, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a camera would bring you work, a Patreon would help you keep it." Nathan Fillion was also on the last season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

[@Caseytify]

He has had a cameo in every Guardians of the Galaxy movie, as well as a funny role in Blast From the Past.

[@dupersuper1938]

Also Two Guys and a Girl (and a Pizza Place), a few episodes of The Guild and Community, and Green Lantern in several DC direct to video animated movies (and kind of in an episode of The Daly Show).

[@jedislap8726]

And both Gina Torres and Alec Baldwin were in Angel as was Summer Glau in her only ever role before Firefly Christina Hendicks also was an extra in Angel.

[@UpLateGeek]

Mark this day in your calendar, everyone - yet another Browncoat is born! You might not know it yet, but you're in for a wild ride! There's all sorts of twists and cul-de-sacs, you're in for excitement, romance, swashbuckling, and a few tears along the way. And at the end, you'll consider yourself an honorary member of Serenity's crew, and a fellow Browncoat. So welcome to the 'verse, and enjoy the ride.

[@robertanderson6929]

One other comment I will make is about Gina Torres. She doesn't get near enough credit for her acting chops and in particular her non-verbal acting. Pay attention to her. One look at her and she sets the mood for the scene. Often she doesn't speak but if you watch she will be loosening her gun or moving to get a better angle on whomever Mal is dealing with. Someone else mentioned that she seldom refers to Mal by his name in front of the crew. It is always "the Captain." This is to reinforce Mal's authority. She also doesn't criticize him in front of the crew but when she's displeased she'll give him a look or a "respectful comment" and you'll have no doubt what she really thinks. In a very real sense this entire series is Zoe and Mal's tale. It is the tale of the war buddies. They are not lovers. They are not simply friends. They are comrades in arms. They are people who put their lives in the others hands over and over again and survived when so many others did not. It may seem at time that Gina Torres isn't given much to do. But she makes EVERY scene she is in better though her non-verbal acting. I cannot praise her enough.

[@melissahughes4205]

Before Firefly, I saw Gina Torres in this cheesy little show called Cleopatra 2525. It was late night filler, campy and over the top. The premise was based on a stripper emerging from cryo stasis 500 plus years in the future and joining the (literally) underground resistance to a totalitarian post-apocalyptic dictator. Gina played one of the freedom fighters, and I absolutely loved her in it. Bad dialogue, ridiculous scenarios, lingerie-league costumes, physically impossible combat, she spun all that chaff into gold. Just SO talented. I definitely wanted to see what she could do with better material. Zoe is one of my favorite characters in Firefly, for all the reasons you describe. Gina embodied this character so perfectly, she may not have much to say but she's always worth paying attention.

[@robertanderson6929]

@@melissahughes4205 Yeah. I love good actors. I love actors who make other actors' performances better. Roy Scheider is one of those guys. Whether it be _The Russia House, The French Connection, or Marathon Man_ he is not the star but he makes those movies so much better with his acting. Gina Torres is also one of those actors. She's likely never to be a star or to win awards but she a genuine actor who makes everything she co-stars in better for her presence.

[@mrtveye6682]

Wow, you got the relationship and the dynamic of the crew right from the start. A lot of people need a few episodes to get a grasp of it. Great attention to details. Looking real forward seeing you react to the rest of the show.

[@Luciphell]

23:14 Plays a mean trick on the audience. Laughs in their face about it. And we still love it. Only this show

[@kirkdarling4120]

Jewel Staite, playing Kaylee, was a regular actor on Stargate: Atlantis. And she detests strawberries. We also saw Morena Baccarin as a lizard woman on the television series "V" in the early 2000s. Welcome to Firefly. Looks like you've become a Browncoat already.

[@isaackellogg3493]

Yes, she was the Hive Queen

[@robertanderson6929]

No Spoilers: There was a civil war between the Central Planets like Persephone and the Outer Worlds like Boros. The Central Planets are the Alliance and the Outer Worlds were the rebels known as the Browncoats. Basically the Alliance wanted central rule while the Browncoats wanted each planet to be mostly independent. Mal and Zoe fought for the Browncoats and they lost. As a result they are unable to find "legitimate" work within the Alliance as they are seen as criminals. Joss Whedon stated that he did not want to create another Star Trek. He didn't want to tell a story about high ideals, exploration or diplomacy. He wanted to create a story about working class individuals. He wanted to tell the story about people that the Starship Enterprise would fly past without every noticing. The crew are starving. It is not something that is obvious but throughout the series there are references to it. Wash's idea of a "vacation" is a "meal with some sort of food." They buy fuel for the ship to "keep flying" before they buy food. What they usually eat is basically flavored tofu. Mal refers to it as "Protein in all the colors of the rainbow. That is why the Strawberry and other fresh vegetables are such luxuries. Badger nonchalantly peeling an apple is to show that he can afford such a luxury. It is why the "treasure" turns out to concentrated foodstuff with vitamin supplements. It is a treasure because it is literally more valuable on the Outer Worlds than gold because one cannot eat gold. It is also why whenever you see them having a meal it is treated as a celebration.

[@johnstephenson6911]

Well said. Brown coats forever.

[@MrHws5mp]

Yep - the quality of the meal in any given episode is an instant flag of how they're doing.

[@TheKingOfRuckus]

Firefly is a really good show! Unfortunately, it ran on Fox, which was notorious for shuffling good shows around and then canceling them just when they started getting good. The cast for this show had great chemistry!

[@gamesman0118]

Nathan Fillion also has a show that's been on lately called "The Rookie".

[@Biomirth]

Never seen you before right now, but you did a great reaction to Firefly's opener. Look forward to more.

[@richardb6260]

It was cancelled mid-season. A season on network TV then was 22 to 24 episodes. Firefly only got 14 episodes. It was cancelled in December. It should have ran through the Spring. But they did get a theatrical film that picks up some of the plot threads left dangling.

[@joshcopley9039]

Yeah, apparently it was not marketed well. It was put in a bad time slot and initially aird the episodes out of order.

[@Logan_Baron]

Many shows got around 13 episode seasons, particularly for their first season. Buffy for one major example. Many others. Firefly had a 13 episode first season approved. Then the network wanted them to make a new pilot, hence 14 episodes. It got the full season made and was not approved for more seasons/cancelled. But it got the full season it was initially approved for (though several of the episodes were not aired).

[@richardb6260]

@@Logan_Baron on broadcast network TV at that time, the shows, like Buffy, that got a short season premiered in January or February and replaced a series that premiered in the Fall and got cancelled. When a show premiered in the Fall, like Firefly, it was expected to last through Spring.

Kazzy, I am thrilled that you discovered Firefly at the same time that I discovered you. When Firefly first aired twenty-two years ago I was 49 and my son was 16. We were instant fans and even attended a Brown Coat event in our hometown. We still watch the DVDs together when we get a chance as well as play Firefly trivia. As you proceed through the episodes and then the movie, I predict you too will consider yourself a Brown Coat. Kazzy, I look forward to you hearing for the first time, "I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar." And then... the second time!

On a tactical level, Mal reacts intuitively- her's a problem, resolve it RIGHT NOW, quickly. There's a horse in the way, shoot it. Somebody's holding a hostage, don't negotiate, just shoot 'em down.There's gonna be another problem aling in a second, you have to get clear of this one, quick, or you'll be overwhelmed and dead. He also guesses correctly most of the time- it's how he survived the War.

This is one of my 2 favorite sci-fi westerns, along with The Adventurers of Brisco County Junior! Kaylee is the heart of the series! This was such a great and fun series! It was killed way too soon by morons! You won't really find out about the Reavers till the movie!

[@davidshorb7453]

I love the subtle things that make the reavers terrifying. Beyond zoo's description of an encounter, like Inara preparing a leathal injection or Jayne visibility shaking as he loads a weapon. We are terrified at the mention of them from here out

[@stonecoldku4161]

I watched Castle as well, but it was only after I saw on KZbin that throughout the Castle series that they would make references to Firefly. I didn't watch the TV episodes until after I saw the movie Serenity fell in love with the writing and the cast, but once I found out it was a series first, I sought out the DVDs and fell in love with it even more.

"Jayne is the last person you'd want as PR." 🤣 Well depends on who you're wanting to "relate" to ;) 😂

[@aarongunstone6579]

Something people often miss: When Mal tells the doctor that Kaylee is dead, yes he's messing with him (and the show is messing with *us* of course) - but he's also testing his character. The fact that Simon obviously really cared about her - he raced off to see if there was anything he could do - was a factor in Mal offering them a place on the ship later.

[@zurnie]

Holy Carp!!! One of my top five reactors finally getting to Firefly! Welcome to the Browncoats, Kazz

[@transitengineer]

When this aired new on network TV, I watched it every week. But, when trying to tell others that, it was both a space science fiction show and a western with firearms and horses TV show... they would look at me and, just shake their heads. Then all too soon, this TV show was canceled and, the episodes that did air were never re-shown as re-runs. It was not until many years later when it was picked-up by the Sci-Fi channel that this TV shown developed a large following. For decades, I have owned the full series on DVD and, I watch it several times a year (smile...smile).

Welcome. To the Firefly fandom. 13 hours of ecstasy and a lifetime of regret.

[@Caseytify]

You were close about Inara. A Companion can be seen equivalent to a Geisha, or an 18th century French Courtesan. They have high social status, and are know for their education & culture. It takes great training to become a Companion. Mal is rude to her because (as you perceived) he has strong feelings for her. He also respects her life choices, which means she's not the involvement type. Thus the conflict he feels, which he tries to cover with cheap insults. Every character has a deep past. For example, Mal was wearing a cross during the battle, but now he shows hostility to a preacher.

[@Liesmith424]

Ooh, looking forward to this one; one of my favorite shows of all time.

[@rudewalrus5636]

[@broodhunter21]

Its hilarious, every woman who reviews this complains that Mal doesnt tell Inara he is interested, and NONE of them complain that Inara doesn't admit her interest in Mal.

[@blairhaffly1777]

Why would they? We're expected to make the first move. That behavior is as old as humans. It's our ancient role to stand between danger and women and children, and that's reflected in this expectation.

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

@@blairhaffly1777 um maybe because a majority of people have rejected those "ancient" gender roles?

[@blairhaffly1777]

@sirmoonslosthismind So they say. OPs comment indicates differently. 170 thousand years of human behavior isn't easily rejected. This isn't a value judgment, I'm glad we have the luxury to do things differently if we choose.

[@mascan7905]

It's even worse than getting cancelled midway through the first season. The episodes were aired out of order, and were preempted for baseball several times. The network had no idea what to do with the show, and more or less intentionally killed it.

[@staciecarrel4492]

I have the blu-ray set (gotten before it was streamable). They are in plot order on the disk, but the back of the box notes the order they were aired and the 2 or 3 episodes that were never aired. In addition to airing them out of order and occasionally cancelling them for sports, Fox kept changing their time slot. In their 13 episodes the slot was changed at least 3 times, each on a different day, and always opposite a popular show on another network. Fox did literally everything they could to purposefully tank the show while still fulfilling their contractual obligation to air it.

[@glasgowjohn7831]

Telling Simon that Kaylee was dead was to test him. If Simon had worried more about saving himself (like steal the second shuttle), then he would have been dropped off at the nearest port ( or even spaced), but he cared more about his patient, therefor he can stay.

[@fghjconner]

So there's a bit of a fan theory that gets thrown around about this episode. It's possible that Mal wasn't just being mean when he lied to Simon about Kaylee dying, but was testing him. Even after the threat Mal made earlier, Simon didn't think about himself or his own safety, but ran to go check on his patient first. That's the kind of thing Mal would value in a potential cremate after all.

[@MrHws5mp]

There's a world of difference between a "crewmate" and a "cremate", although up to that point, Simon could have ended up as either. Jus' sayin'... 🤣

[@tabxtra7057]

Discovered by scientists in 2020, 34Tauri(2020) is a star cluster, of the likes of the triple star system Alpha Centauri. It consists of five main sequence stars, around which orbit seven protostars, seven gas giants, three separate asteroid belts, seventy-five planets, and one hundred forty-nine moons.[1] Four of the main sequence stars orbit a central star. All the worlds that make up the 'Verse have two names, a Sino (Chinese) name and Anglo (English) name. Sometimes, only one is used officially. This is not the case with the five main sequence stars. The Sino names of the five stars are based on the old-world concept of the Five Chinese Constellations. The Anglo names are given by the actual temperature-spectral color of the sun, with the exception of two which are yellow, named Georgia and Kalidasa.

I'm looking forward to your reactions to this series. Oh, the sinks and toilets are what's normally used in US Navy submarines due to the lack of space.

[@dunringill1747]

I love this incomplete masterpiece of a series. It goes in this order: 1) 14 episodes (seasons were normally 22-23 episodes long back then, often with a double length pilot - this series was sabotaged & canceled early due to executive politics at FOX) 2) Movie teaser "The River Tam Sessions" - best watched in release order and not the fan made chronological order. 3) Serenity movie will finish the main story (yes, it has the same name as the pilot episode you just watched) 4) Bloopers and Deleted scenes 5) Comics, Novels, and Role Playing Games for tying up loose ends and more Official Lore. Some of my thoughts on this pilot episode: Everything shown has a well written, nuanced reason behind it. Even the minor characters & scenes have depth. - The Shepherd took down a trained Federal Lawman pretty efficiently. - When Mal told Simon "Kaylee is dead" it was more than just a cruel joke. Mal was also testing him. Mal made it a point to look at Simon's reaction. He even mentioned it to the crew "You should have seen his face!". Simon's concerned response for Kaylee (and not for himself & sister) is why Mal offered him a position on his crew at the end. - People are used to eating synthesized food so it's a big deal when a real strawberry and fresh produce shows up. - Drinking water would be very limited on a ship. Using very little to rinse your hands and face would be necessary. Chances are that isn't drinking water but more of a sanitizer/cleaner that Mal used sparingly on his hands and face during his bathroom break.

[@tdog790]

this show shines when it comes to the clever writing, story and characters and less about junp scares, cgi fights and action and trying to shock startle you

The reason you recognize most of these people IS BECAUSE of this show! Ron Miller (sheppard) was a famous 70s Tv star.

Slight correction…his name is Ron Glass, known for his role on Barney Miller from the 70s.

Everyone cheers when Shepherd Book punches out the Fed, then acts all shocked Pikachu face when the Fed punches out Shepherd Book.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but Nathan Fillion also played, "James Fredrich Ryan" from Minnesota in the great war film, "Saving Private Ryan." He was the wrong Ryan of course. Again, y'all be safe.

This an amazing show! The only bad thing about it is when it ends way too soon. I'll be back for all your Firefly reactions..

I still hold a grudge to Fox for canceling this show. Death Slot, out of order, skipping weeks to show baseball. This episode did not please the Fox high ups and wanted a "more exiting" episode to open. Thus we get Train Job. You will see some of the "building of characters", but not nearly as Indepth ass this episode did.

You would really love to read up on Firefly fan history and love. The line from Gina Tores is so apropos in this instance. “Like having warm honey poured over your naked body” or words to that effect.

Since you've seen Castle. If you recall one of the halloween episodes, he (Castle) is dressed as a space cowboy. His costume is the same as as what Mal wears.
