Firefly Ep 1 Serenity (2002) FIRST TIME WATCHING! TV Show Reaction

[@robertbasine8842]

So happy to see another reactor begin her Firefly journey. Great characters make this show a pleasure to watch. Enjoy.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you! I'm so excited for this adventure :)

[@davidedwards1705]

13:57 "...and if we are very, very lucky they will do it in that order. " Best line thus far.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Chilling 😱

[@CaptainFrost32]

06:50 "That looks delicious!" Acting, my dear. Jewel Staite did a wonderful reaction, even though she doesn't like strawberries. She had to let the fans know because she was getting a constant stream of strawberry dishes at conventions.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Lol that's funny! She's awesome

[@SilentBob731]

I don't know that any woman has ever been lovelier that Jewel Staite eating that strawberry. She makes me feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class. 😍

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

Mal at the battle of Serenity Valley: kisses the crucifix he carries hanging from his neck. Mal six years later: doesn't mind if someone says grace, as long as they don't do it out loud.

[@ApesAmongUs]

The war wasn't the only thing that was lost.

[@saltytrey]

Mal lost his faith in Serenity Valley.

[@jedc6507]

There's a cross once hung round a soldier's neck, there's a man's faith died on Serenity's floor

[@efetherman]

You either find a god in a foxhole, or lose one. Not that Mal would get in a foxhole, he's the grab the gun scream bloody murder attack the enemy Audi Murphy type soldier. The only live long in TV and movies...

[@scalefree]

Inara's ship is just a surface-to-orbit shuttle that attaches to Serenity; technically it's part of Serenity & Inara rents it from Mal. which is why she's part of the crew, she meets clients at the various planets & moons of the 'Verse that Serenity visits.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Ohhh OK I see. I'm really intrigued by Inara's character! :)

[@carsilk2492]

I'm one of the weirdos who considers everyone on the cast an old friend, so it was really fun watching you analyze their characters and slowly figure them out.

[@havok6280]

"What language is that?" Chinese. In universe, it's a future where the US and China combined. They are the Alliance. In reality, having the characters swear in Chinese was a way to get around the censors.

[@jenmurrayxo]

So clever!!

[@efetherman]

That's fraking cheap way to do it! Oops my BSG is showing.

[@larrystuder8543]

This was the original pilot. When Joss sequenced the DVDs, he put them in the order he intended them to be in, so yes, this is the one to watch first.

[@dougearnest7590]

Enjoyed the reaction. For many of us I think it feels like we're introducing a friend to something we like. You might remember at the beginning of the episode - during the war - when Mal kissed the cross he wore around his neck before charging out to do battle -- as opposed to his anti-religion attitude in the "present" toward Shepherd Book, saying grace before the meal, etc. Also, it's great the way people on the ship are relating to one another. Inara and Book, for instance, are both highly educated so that draws them together in a sense. A conversation with someone they can relate to intellectually. I don't see Book saying "I think I'm on the wrong ship" to Jayne. Jayne would probably point the way to the airlock - no sympathy. No spoilers here, but they did a good job of letting relationships develop over the course of the series, not having everything settled by the second episode. A little background that might help -- these are the descendants of people who left Earth (referred to as "Earth-that-was") many years before, settling on planets and moons in this solar system which were terraformed as needed to support life. The "Core Planets" have been settled the longest and are more technologically advanced. This group of planets formed the Alliance. The "Independents" were their opponents, fighting to be left alone and not wanting to be forced into the Alliance. The farther you get from the core, the more "Western" the feel. Horses and wagons included. The series was inspired by the aftermath of the American Civil War in which a lot of Southerners (the losing side) lost all they had and went west to try to make a new life - oftentimes teetering on the edge between legal and illegal just to get by. Anyway, once upon a time in America we had good television. Welcome to Firefly.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks for this info! It feels like I'm being introduced to it by friends, glad you guys feel the same :) Excited for the journey!

[@guhalakshmiratan5566]

"I think I'm on the wrong ship" - I think what I really liked about that scene was Book was just being human. His initial interaction with Inara, while cordial, still had the air of 'authority' (One even has lepers!") He was still 'The Pastor.' And now, for him to make that "confession" to a companion! Trivia: One of Nathan Fillion's supposed ancestors is Confederate General Jubal Early!

[@lazerx1828]

Hopefully us loyal Firefly fans will be able to refrain from dropping spoilers while Jen Reacts!

The shuttles can't go faster than light speed. Without that ability, it would take a minimum of 10 months to get to Jupiter (that's how long it takes an unmanned satellite with our current technology to reach Jupiter even if launched at the perfect time). Therefore, they dock with Serenity, which can exceed the speed of light.

[@bcsr4ever]

Only 14 episodes, but the quality is generally very good. This is the intended pilot, The Train Job was like a network forced pilot, but it is also good. As said, the feature film 'Serenity' was made to try a tie up some loose ends. Hope you enjoy.

[@jenmurrayxo]

So excited for this adventure :)

[@dunringill1747]

This is an absolute gem of a series. Tragically only 14 episodes, then a movie teaser "The River Tam Sessions" and then the movie "Serenity" to finish the main story.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Excited for the journey! :)

[@3DJapan]

Yes, they were aired out of order but even worse Fox kept changing the time slot and day it was on. If nobody knows when to watch a show of course it will get low ratings.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Ugh ya that would make it impossible to build a fan base! I'm glad there are on demand ways to view things whenever we want now. If only Firefly was made now!

[@user-ed5ng6lr1f]

Correct order of episodes: Pilot The Train Job Bushwhacked Shindig Safe Our Mrs. Reynolds Jaynestown Out of Gas Ariel War Stories Trash The Message Heart of Gold Objects in Space and finally, the movie Serenity

[@ZackScroggins]

Since you asked, yes, this is the correct episode to start with. Fox aired it out of order, but this is episode one. The ideal order to watch it is the DVD order, so the next episode should be the Train Job.

[@eschiedler]

One thing that's easy to overlook in this first episode is that Mal kisses a cross during the battle. He appears to have been religious but after his side loses the war he becomes an atheist - hence the tension with Shepherd Book.

[@sirmoonslosthismind]

i wouldn't call mal an atheist. taking issue with god presupposes that there's a god to take issue with.

[@Gort-Marvin0Martian]

You'll be saying, "Why did they cancel this show?", when the last episode comes along. Everyone does. Great reaction/review.

@@jenmurrayxo _firefly_ was treated particularly badly. they didn't get to finish their first season. they didn't even get any kind of notice at all. someone from the network literally told them "this is your last day. you're finished." a bunch of the episodes never aired.

[@HH-hd7nd]

Always a pleasure to watch another reactor starting Firefly - it's the next best thing to watch the show myself for the first time.

[@menachemsalomon]

"The man is psychotic" is what Simon says about the Captain. It's also what the crew says, while laughing uproariously, at Simon and at you, the viewer. It's best you learn now that the description applies equally well to the writer and creator of the series. You'll curse him and his inevitable betrayals, as you learn to love the show and all of its characters, with all of their charms, from Jayne at "Public Relations" to Kaylee the mechanic, from the captain to the shepherd, from the pilot and his wife, the first mate, to the "ambassador", and of course the Tam siblings. Enjoy the ride.

[@michaelbaziotis8287]

I've watched a lot of reactions to this series because I loved firefly. But this is the first reaction i've watched where the show is sped up and I love it! We get twice the dialogue at half the time! Genius!!

[@davepasnthru]

You will come to love all the characters...yes, even Jayne.

[@jenmurrayxo]

I'm sure I will, excited for the journey :)

[@Scoobydcs]

a big reason this was so good is that the whole cast had GREAT chemistry, theyre still friends now after nearly 20 years

[@UnclePengy]

"It's crazy I never saw this... I love sci-fi." I know what you mean. I wish I had seen it in its first run too. But the FOX network didn't understand the show. Their marketing was abysmal (their commercials made it out to look like a wacky goofball comedy in the vein of Red Dwarf, complete with Smashmouth "All Star" track played over the commercials), they forced them to show the episodes out of order (this episode, the pilot, was shown second or third, I think), they moved it around to different days and time slots. They pretty much did everything they could do to make sure it didn't succeed. When I saw the commercials I thought "I don't want to watch some dumb spoof", and only caught up on its genius several years later.

Firefly is one of my favorite TV shows and there’s only 1 season! Such a tragedy that it was canceled! I LOVE the characters ❤

[@robertcarlson1404]

You are in for quite a treat! One of the best shows out there in my opinion. I hope you make it through the series and movie without any spoilers.

[@ryanisbelle6107]

Excellent job with the editing. A very enjoyable watch. You're in for a treat. Plus the re-watch-ability of this show is off the charts. Out of all the fun facts to point out, my favorite is that the ship, Serenity, is just two set-pieces. Upstairs and downstairs. That's how this show makes Serenity feel so alive and real. You'll notice a ton of shots where the camera is circling around characters as they talk. This lets us see an entire spaceship from angles that no other show has really let us do before, in my opinion.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thank you, this edit was a bit tougher to get around copyright so I appreciate that! :) That's so cool about the sets! I will look for those shots in future eps! :)

[@UTU49]

Ryan, great point about how they filmed on the Serenity sets.

[@roguemerlin1969]

You weren't paying enough attention to the fight at the beginning of the show. The Captain and his first mate, the black woman were in the resistance and the only survivors from their unit. The piolet is her husband, the last member is a sort of heck hand. Don't want to spoil anything for you. The characters will flesh out as the show progresses. Love your reaction and don't know how you haven't seen it before. Don't watch the movie unless you really want to spoil the series. I loved the series and hated it when it was canceled. I also loved the movie. Happy Watching and Reacting!!

[@jenmurrayxo]

Thanks, I'll watch the movie after I finish the series! Excited for the journey :)

[@hilarywilliams1909]

They sometimes speak in Mandarin, for two reasons, one to emphasize that the culture is a blend of the 2 cultures that colonized space in the untold back story, and second to get around the censors who didn't use translators to find out what was being said, sort of like they say "gorram" instead of god damn. And yes it is a space western.

[@stue2298]

Firefly and beautful girl reacting to it [subbed]. To answer you question there is not an end to season 1 since it was cancelled mid season, but it does have a movie "Serenity" that does give the story a conclusion.

[@jenmurrayxo]

Oh good, I'm glad to hear there is some kind of conclusion! :)

[@DFWTexan42]

You picked the correct episode to start. production order, more or less, is the best. FOX started with a much later episode, when the series originally aired, and I think that it hurt the series initial popularity. Didn't help that Sci-Fi in general is expensive to produce, and network management never understands Sci-Fi.

[@ericlynnes1228]

Basic concept was "what if the rebels lost to the Empire in Star Wars. And it's also a western." Quick background is that there was a war that ended in an alliance (the Alliance) between China and the USA, hence the reason they occasionally speak Mandarin. In the after-effects of war humanity needed to expand off planet. Various planets and moons were terraformed to make them habitable. Settlers were then moved in to colonize and work. The nicest planets "core worlds", were kept by the government for beaurocrats and the extremely wealthy, the rest dumped of settlers with the bare minimum of supplies and left to fend for themselves, which is why so many are so frontieresque. There was eventually a rebellion by these frontier worlds (the "Brown Coats") which Mal and Zoe were a part of. The rebellion was squashed, restrictions were tightened, and people had to live as best they could. Mal bought a ship, he and Zoe hired a crew, and six years later here we are.

[@ericlynnes1228]

It isn't an exact analog, but it is the simplest way to explain it quickly without going down a rabbit hole of Easter eggs, symbolism, and trivia.

[@Billy01113]

Originally it aired with the train job as first episode (decision by FOX not the director), which meant that everione had the introduction to the characters missing. You watch it in the order it was intended to be viewed. The first (double-) episode was to slow for FOX's taste.

[@geraldtodd6633]

I just discovered your channel and when I saw what you were reacting to I quickly subscribed and ready to go. I read a lot of the comments and there are a lot of Browncoats out there. Your reactions are good and since I am retired I have time to check other things you have reacted to. You had good reactions and observations and I and the viewers are looking forward to joining you on your journey thru the Firefly verse (Universe.)

Thank you! I am honored to be among such welcoming and kind Browncoats! & excited for the Firefly journey :)

[@Stuman57]

The creator(s) of this show did Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the spin off Angel. These were 7&5 seasons respectively. This show was supposed to be sort of the same. Their are huge character arcs and development. Some people say this show is too slow and not much happens. Thats because the world and character building was cut way too short. Please watch the Serenity movie. It sort of wraps everything up and answers a lot of questions.

[@SSIronHeart]

There's a deleted scene that shows alot more information on the Battle of Serenity Valley. I'll give you the points. Mal commanded 30 going in. 5 days into the battle so many officers were dead, mal commanded 2,000. By the time the fight was over he had 400 who could still fight. By the time the fighting was over... but both sides left them there "sick, wounded and close to mad what can still walk and talk." By the time medical ships arrived he had less the 40. And of his original 30, just Zoe." Mercey forgiveness faith. He left it all back there. Once your in Serenity you never leave..... you just learn to live there"....

Aloha Jen. This was the correct choice. Firefly was aired out of order, so don't watch that order. The story does have a bit of continuity and that's the best order to watch it in. This was episode 1, even though it was aired at the end of the run on Fox (bastards). There are 14 episodes total, and just because this episode was twice as long as the rest does not mean it should count as 2 episodes. I've seen KZbinrs make that mistake and f'k up the numbering of the episodes. The next epsiode is the Train Job, which did air first, but what ever. Netflix used to have Firefly in the correct order, Hulu and Google Play both also have Firefly in the correct order, just FYI. Stay Shiny!

I think this is one of the best pilots in T.V history. It sets up every character's personality, goals, and their relationships with each other. On top of that, it establishes the important bits of lore in Firefly (Reavers, Alliance vs Browncoats, etc). To top it all off, it's dramatic as hell - crime, two Mexican standoffs, a mysterious woman, a deal gone bad/shootout, and an areal case from crazy cannibals, all under and hour or so. Just perfect. It's such a shame Fox aired it out of order.

[@willkomnath2560]

Great review, looking foward to the rest. I somehow missed it during the original run. This show was about 15 years ahead of its time and Fox had no idea what they were doing with it. It would have been prefect for a streaming service .

[@andreraymond6860]

FYI: This episode was intended to be the series pilot episode but the people at Fox thought it was too brooding and slow. They asked Whedon to shoot another episode with more action and humour. So in fact 'Serenity' was never aired. It was released much later with the DVD box set. The second episode 'Train Job' was actually aired as a pilot. Whedon scripted it in a way that it would re-introduce most of the characters and the situation without too much fanfare. It plays just as well as a second episode.

It's not giving anything away to say that the show isn't wrapped up all nice and neat by the end of the season. That's what the movie is for. But the journey to get to that movie is well worth it, or many of us Browncoats wouldn't have fought as hard to try save the show.

Firefly, Sports Night, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles - my top three on the list of "why the hell did they cancel 'em" shows.

[@magus104]

You wouldnt want to watch it in the order it aired. The network was just stupid and thought the pilot was too slow and wouldnt keep people interested in the show so their basically ruined the pilot by airing it later on after you already knew all the characters. So when it did air you knew Simon was part of the crew, could assume River was in the box, and knew the random extra guy was the law man.

[@williamcolepaugh951]

At the start of the show, Mal side is winning & he was a man of faith & happy (kissing his cross), but his leader decide to surrender anyways. This caused him to lose his faith and be (as you said_)"grumpy".
