Firefly Cast Reunion Panel - Nathan Fillion - Long Beach - Quarantine Comic Con

[@gregfromguam]

Haven't watched Firefly/Serenity in a long time. Just watched it all again, finishing today. Fox are idiots. Netflix too, who think the fanbase for Firefly is stagnant. Big damn idiots.

[@robmlisanti]

im watching it again , it's been 5 yrs so

[@Hunyango_007]

I watch the series a minimum of once a year, I just never get tired of watching it. It's perfect!

[@neophytealpha]

Would love more Firefly.

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

me too. Been trying to get them on a Podcast. Maybe you should help me bug them.

[@mikeforester3963]

@@ChroniclesOfComicCon Afraid it's not them you need to bug. Gotta whip the attorneys and corporates to finally get _one_ company to acquire _all_ the necessary rights to the IP.

Nathan is so funny!! The whole cast is great!! Wish they could bring back this show !!!

[@nbleys5696]

Would Absolutely Love more Firefly with original cast...! Yes 100% on board 👏

[@NamuWilliams]

I miss Firefly and Serenity so much. Netflix, seriously. Make the magic happen again!

Joss is cancelled. Abandon hope.

[@NamuWilliams]

Nope, I'll never abandon hope! Even if it means the next version is directed by someone else and the cast are in their 80s, lol. @@ForwardEarth

[@DaveMiller2]

Jewel and Summer are still beautiful. Nathan doesn't look like he aged at all. Ron Glass was months from passing when this was filmed. Shepherd Book is my favorite character. (In a show where all the characters are great).

[@wizzarin424]

I have one request to the nice folks who have filmed this and shown this to all of us: IF there is a question from the audience - put in captions, YOUR viewers can't here what they are saying.

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

Unfortunately I had someone watching my camera and I missed the questions too. The whole set up at this con between the lighting and no mic for audiences question was annoying. I hear ya though and wish it would have come out better too.

[@HemingwaysMojito]

Thank you for posting this. Absolutely brightened my day to see how much they all get along

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

Our pleasure. Got a lot more nerdy panels at different cons on my other channel. @dtrshow

[@smokejaguarsix7757]

Kickstart it. We need season 2, and 3 and 4.

[@rickelliott3683]

Firefly was an an amazingly well produced show with the perfect cast. It was a shame that that the network didn't have the vision to give it the support that they should have.

[@sean_mccadden]

Its funny that they still treat Summer as the kid even though shes not a kid anymore 😂

[@boqndimitrov8693]

greetings crew!..

[@devinmccloud]

I have watched season 1 and the movie over 100 times. The characters and actors just jelled together, despite the bad cgi. The chemistry is so goo, that's what makes the show so good.

[@josephbondoc2561]

I binged the series and Serenity again. Quarantine stinks, but if it gives me the time to unearth an old favorite, then there are some silver linings. I'd definitely support more tales from this universe with my wallet!

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

Absolutely so would I

[@mariathomson5538]

Great actor is Nathan and rest of crew got the dvd full series love it 👌♥️

[@benw9949]

Can't hear the fan questions and comments. Wish we could. Next time, mike them, please. -- I would so love to see more Firefly, including Wash / Alan Tudyk, plus fan favorite guest stars like Badger and Saffron. Too bad we can't have more of Shepherd Book / Ron Glass. -- I hope we'll get more Firefly someday. Fox and whoever else: The Browncoats (fans) are still out here. Can't stop the signal. Firefly could be.a big success if you'd give it a chance.

[@stevealvarez2826]

Summer doesn't seem to want to talk; I would ask her how it was to apply her dance experience to the fight scenes; she looked so smooth & effortless.

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

She is very shy. Met her a few times. She does these for the fans and that is it. She doesn't want to be there.

[@stevealvarez2826]

@@ChroniclesOfComicCon although I just saw an interview she did while pregnant with her first child, & she seems to be much better now.

[@Wranorn]

GREAT Answers,... Too Bad I Couldn't Hear the damn questions.

[@robertlust6234]

Firefly more please

[@pennyc11]

Another film would be appreciated. One of the very few I would buy outright, unseen. It was so well written, casted, and acted out. Except for killing off Alan's character. Wrong. Nice of everyone who could show up. Missing those who are missing today.

[@isaiahwelch8066]

Sad thing is, I watched the Con where Nathan explains why both Book and Wash had to die. Basically, Book died to cement the fact that The Operative was deadly serious about killing them all, and would not stop until they were dead. Wash had to die to show the audience they were in bad straits, and it was a possibility that every member of the crew could die. While sad, I think both deaths showed the depth of humanity for the audience, and how fragile life really is.

[@Danno_A_Jyd]

@@isaiahwelch8066 if they did another Firefly series/Serenity movie they could introduce Dry, Wash's brother [or cousin] and a new preacher who would reveal some of the details about Book. The best way to bring Firefly back is to tell Joss Wheton that he wasn't needed to write the next chapter[s]. I believe he would revolt against the thought and get busy! That is how geniuses react. In the end it will be up to we Firefly fans to get things moving. All we need is to know who we should push. Tudyk would be the man to ask. ;)

[@pennyc11]

No, Wash didn't need to die. His relationship was so shiny.

[@jamesaleman]

Nathan and the team can stop by on my B-day, he and I are both on the same day, 2 years my senior. Adam is cool, his daughter and mine have the same name, met him at a St. Louis con and since I didn't want a dude to sign something to me, I asked him to sign it or my daughter. He said that was his daughters name. Cool people, you can tell they would be fun to hang with.

[@kirkfletcher6028]

This is from September 2016 (Adam mentions that the season 3 finale of The Last Ship aired the previous Sunday - which was 11th September 2016).

[@dimitri877]

Gorram rutting guay... Is this family still wondering IF this awesome show needs a revamp? ..did they miss the memo?

[@joeycarter8846]

When I first watched the series, I kept looking for more. "Where are the other seasons?" Only to discover there was only one season. Reminded me of the Star Trek original series (that only had 3). What's wrong with the idiots running these shows? The show was entertaining, poignant, sublime.

[@sean_mccadden]

So Nathan actually described “The Shepherds Tale” (the backstory of Shepherd Book) and warning massive spoilers for the graphic novel. Book was actually a Browncoat spy implanted in the Alliance. But he did do horrible things to not only infiltrate the Alliance but to hold his cover and it tore his conscience up so after the war he surrendered himself to god and aimed to make peace with what he had done

[@tpaul2112]

i want to go to the crappy planet where im the hero

[@egarnett1]

Enjoying the panel, and thanks for whomever posted/filmed it, but this has got to be the worst lighting for a panel I've EVER SEEN! It's such a shame not to see all those lovely faces!

[@robgreenspan9389]

Dont put the podium in the middle. Let the great cast be together!

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

I know right? and the lighting and the sound? This is one of the more annoying panels I have ever filmed that I waited for all weekend cause I knew the fans would want to see it. ugh.

[@candicecan1634]

Can’t believe how mean they were to the fan-fic lady. But gosh, how I miss Firefly. Puh-lease bring it baaaaacccckk!

seemed deserved lol

[@alexonishencko1568]

They look like they barely aged.... lets get whedon and the cast back and more seasons... cancelling this show was a crime against humanity.

[@Rejoice1631]

I have watched a number of these types of videos, where folks are at a Con, or what not... They really, REALLY need to work on getting mics that work, for the folks, in the audience, that are asking the questions. It seems that there's almost always a few questions that we, out here, aren't able to hear, or understand. Please, please, please... =)

[@ChroniclesOfComicCon]

Some cons are better than others about that for sure. Unfortunately it also has to do with the union that works at the convention center the con is at, and the rules about what they can and can not hook up gets really weird from con to con and state to state.

[@baneblade__]

Sean hasn't aged a day damn

[@TheWadetube]

This was the best sci fy series ever and a great movie, I didn't even know of it's existence until it was over. I think the series should come back with Chiwetel Eli.ja...for as a human rights activist leading a band of rebels against the alliance dictators and when he is out gunned calls for Mals help who initially wants to get popcorn to watch his demise but ultimately sees the needs of the people and swoops in at the last minute to rescue the group and come up with a better plan to defeat the alliance outpost and embarrass them as a whole so that the core alliance writes them off as not worthy. Wash should come back as a cyborg and Shepard book as an interactive A.I ready to answer spiritual questions. The Reavers like to keep their prey alive and would have a portable device to enable that, but the alliance caught them and salvaged Wash without telling the others, perhaps they didn't know their relationship. Now, working for the alliance, not knowing his past or relationship with the crew of the Serenity Wash is a a power to be reckoned with. Kalee, still on the ship, has it in good working order but has her own side project to replace a damaged and aging shuttle, she has built a fighter shuttle, with adequate space for the crew, long range engines and well armed for a fight should the ship be attacked it can break off to attack the flank of a larger ship. She calls it the wasp, Jane calls it the Bee, but armed it with his own choices of personally named guns and cannons. Inara , having returned to her homeworld to take care of her twin children has become something of a legend there and acquired a special rank but when she hears of Mal's predicament, having once again taken on a huge alliance force, she musters a team of her own, and leaving the twins to the care of the home, speeds off to help the uprising, sealing her fate as either a martyr or another legend in action coming to the rescue. River , off on her own, has established a school for the gifted, the elite and forms a team of special operatives while they are yet teenagers, and Wash is sent to flush them out, thinking his face will buy him access to the teacher, but she can still read minds and goes on the run to the only ship and crew she can trust, Serenity, while they are still engaged with the alliance outpost, she and her team arrive in time to help with Wash on her heals for a surprise reunion. Will Wash Recognize Zoey? Will she still love him, the half or less that remains? Did she have a child after his alleged death? Is there a 12 year old boy or girl on board capable of flying the ship? Will the A.I. Book be helpful in dealing with the Alliance special forces new cyborg? Dr. Tam has his own practice on an outlying world, it is small but well stocked. Seeing his old captain in the thick of things he arranges a medical supply to be diverted to the battle, but ultimately has to take it himself. Book's artificial intelligence interactive program is online and spreads the news of a battle on an outpost. Strangers, people that Mal and the "Operative" don't even know show up with supplies, weapons and people who are ready to fight under Mal, a hero of the solar system, with Shepard book leading the way on a special mechanical transport on tread tracks and his face on a screen up front. When he meets wash he is jealous of Wash's enhanced android body, it's strength and agility. Wash asks "Have we met before?" Having been captured, Wash is being interrogated by Zoey, who is heartbroken he doesn't remember her and a little repulsed that he is a robot working for the alliance. But River reaches into his mind and unlocks his memories. A short while later, while under attack, Wash breaks out but instead of killing the crew of the Serenity , Jumps into the line of fire, taking many hits before taking out the task force sent to kill them. Not too injured for an android to survive, he recalls a famous line from Malcolm: "What was that?" and Wash repeats a line to Mal and Zoey while being carried back to safety. "I'm a leaf on the wind." THen it's time for a speech by Malcolm, sent out to the Alliance home world. It speaks of human rights and the right to rebel against tyranny when a system of government becomes overbearing, that it is the duty of a well armed militia to bring down that government and replace it by one of the people and for the people, and others in the group join in with bits and pieces to show that the people all throughout the solar system are united in this belief and Book, with a bullet hole in his face screen adds the last part "Amen, and may God be with you." Once again sent out to the planets, this message weakens the alliance who have to give into a congress being assembled by the people for the people and elections. So, what do you think?

[@josefhorndl3469]

Some ignorant people are actually burning sooo much money for great CGI but bad storytelling in tv-shows like Star Trek Discovery! I cannot understand why these people don't give their money for a new and serious Firefly-Show with old AND NEW actors under the lead of mastermind Joss Whedon. Best example for a good Sci-Fi-Show imo is The Expanse, so a well done and successful Firefly IS POSSIBLE! And by the way - same for the Stargate-Franchise!

[@3Zeddy2]

"It was a dream job" it wasn't everything, therefore your argument: "It was everything how can everything not be enough" it objectively wasn't everything. Go to the daily wire. Sell it as part of the the culture war..... because it is. Rand's ideas need more traction. Get it on the daily wire, and do it right:do not relinquish artistic control. Joss you got this. It IS part of the culture war, and YOU know it Joss. The cast knows it. It's all over their faces. How about that Jewel, balls of steel. Look at that face after she tells em the truth "We want more" then she nods, as if to say "seek the great" to the rest of them. I think they know they were squashing Rand's ideas, and maybe Daily Wire is wise enough to see it. Or, go to Tim Pool, he has money and means to back this as part of the culture war.

[@yogashima3]

Pretty sure Joss and some othe others would be oppose toworking with DW. It not a bad idea, but sadly people will let politics to get in the way of something that is good. Plus sadly alot of the cast is getting to old. Maybe they can do animation or live capture action, but the Firefly we really want is gone sady. Best bet probably is a reset with different actors.

[@sean_mccadden]

Don’t know all the details but apparently him and Stana dated during the show and broke up either during or before the last season. I don’t know if he actually bullied her after that or if it was just a really bad break up that the tabloids ran with but he seems to have a really good relationship with literally everyone except Stana. Hope they make up one day though. Would be awesome to see them on screen together again

It pains me to say this, but please don't bring Firefly back. Stop trying, it's pathetic. Firefly had its moment, wonderful one season that we are grateful for. If they had dragged it on, it would have become stupid like every other TV show that went past 3 seasons. The time has changed since 2002, world has changed. This show with its humor and style wouldn't work today. Just be glad we had it and move on.
