Mal's Song - HD Widescreen

[@samanthafrazier2005]

In all honesty, Malcolm Reynolds was one of the most amazing Sci-Fi captian's in history. First off, he was played by Nathan Fillion, second, he was loyal, third, he was never the one to shoot you with no reason. His best quotes were: "If someone tries to kill you, you try to kill them right back!" and "I won't always kill you, but when I do, you will be awake, you will be armed, and you will be facing me" R.I.P. Firefly. A leaf in the wind.

[@StrategicGamesEtc]

I'm pretty sure the second quote is "You don't know me, so I'm gonna explain this once. I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed."

[@kpax2066]

I also love "I aim to misbehave"

[@Rajaat99]

@@Zeithri Wow, it's been awhile since someone mentioned Space: Above & Beyond. Yes, that was also a great sci-fi show. Not quite as good as Firefly, in my opinion, but a great show nonetheless.

[@Meanie010]

The most romantic scene in this series is when the captain is flashing back to when he bought the ship, and after he's given the grand tour of the yellow ship, he ignores the salesman entirely, once he sees the dilapidated old firefly sitting alone on the hill. Like a weathered old hound to a hunter, only a spaceman can see the beauty in a machine like serenity.

[@masonhebb402]

The name of the episode was "Out of Gas", and it is one of my top 5 fave episodes of the series. My first, being "Jaynetown". But the look on Mal's face when he first saw Serenity? That's how you know a man has fallen in love.

[@masonhebb402]

I couldn't POSSIBLY love this comment more.

[@jackwilliamtaylor5656]

Simply beautiful. I’m always drawn back to Firefly occasionally to remind me that no matter the show’s premise, if the themes are strong enough, you can tell any story: freedom, loyalty, found family, love, finding a place you belong in a world that hates you, freeing yourself of your past and becoming the person you want to be more than anything.

The Alliance supports slavery. The Browncoats are the Union, but they lost this time

[@gmoney66]

The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. The war was over whether or not Sates had the right to secede from the Union. It's funny that southerners refer to it as the "War of Northern Aggression", when it was the Confederates who fired the first shots at Fort Sumter.

[@OriginalSoulbourne]

Lincoln, despite being the liberal party of the north, the republican's, presidential candidate, was well recorded as not being bold enough to fight the issue of slavery, believing it would tear the union apart, which he did not want to be remembered for. The south had had steadily growing tensions of slavery and other issues and when the republican candidate won they feared that he would support the republican homeland's policies and views-the north. So they quickly began to work to secede in hopes of escaping all of this, and though the tensions were strong war was inevitable over rather or not this rogue state was legitimate and legal. The emancipation proclamation itself was a far afterthought meant to punish the south and weaken their economy during the war-in fact states that stayed loyal like missouri kept their slaves until the ammendment was passed later on. That said, the cultural divide between north and south was growing both over slavery and other issues. If the south hadn't of started a war over it there's a strong possibility the north would have instead-and I dont mean the civil war proper. If the south hadn't of seceded there may of been popular cause for the north to do so instead. There were too many issues dividing the two and the political battles between them taking place out west ensured that tensions would only be settled when one side enforced on the other. That said, both sides like to tell a different story that makes them seem like the hero, however generally any story where there's a clear cut hero is at least 50% lies. There is no black and white in the world, only grey. If you want to claim true objectivity than there are pretty no issues where you shouldn't be at war with both sides, because the truth never fully supports a side like they try to say it does.

[@davidherring3333]

This song still makes me tear up.

[@sethk5396]

For the longest time I thought the first lyric about a "barren planet you never did see" was about Hera where Serenity Valley is. I just realized though, it's probably a reference to Shadow, Mal's home planet. The Alliance's ruined it, rendering it barren and uninhabitable. We never got to see it because the show was cancelled before it could explore Mal's backstory...

[@adajanetta1]

+Emma Kuhn I thought the lyric was 'a barren planet you never can leave' which could refer to either. But some of the canon books do refer to Hera as being populated and economically recovering after the War, so you could also be right.

[@Illsteward]

@@adajanetta1 Doesn't matter, could still be Shadow… But at the same time - Hera was a Browncoat world. The Aliance destroyed pretty much everything when they descended on the world and now have to rebuild it. Hence - the Hera that Mal holds dear does not exist anymore. It's not a free Browncoat planet, it's the same Aliance military crap as the rest of the worlds, be it Outer Worlds or the Inner Planets...

We all love firefly, but anyone think that it may have been ahead of its time? If it came out today i think it would be alive and thriving, but it came out during the early 2000's the beginning of the plague of reality television

[@Furzkampfbomber]

A bit late, but... Hell, itt was. The whole 'muffled sounds in space' thing, for instance, 'Battlestar Galactica' was sooo praised for was downright stolen from 'Firefly'. And a space show with no aliens whatsoever, what a crazy thought! And by the way, this whole show featured more actually strong and independent women, with _four_ of them on the Serenity alone, than all those god damn 'woke' bullshit shows nowadays.

[@Wesley-1776]

@@Furzkampfbomber issue is the only women they’d consider strong is Zoe and even that’s questionable due to her being married to Wash. a modern show wouldn’t have them married and wash would just be an idiot trying to win her over and failing constantly. Enara does sex stuff so she’s out since she’s to feminine. Kyle doesn’t beat the shit out of people and needs the ‘strong men’ to save her. River has a mental and needs her big brother to keep her out of trouble. Now while here in reality we understand this is all surface level and there is much more to their characters. But we all know a modern firefly wouldn’t be anything like it was back then.

[@Furzkampfbomber]

@@Wesley-1776 I think your analysis nailed it quite nicely. The fun thing about Enara is that companions are considered _very_ powerful and influential, that their service is not about sex at all (although it _can_ be part of it), that the most powerful people in the system stand in line for an appointment and that it is absolutely not unusual that companions turn an offer from one of them down if they consider the customer (which can be both men or women) not worthy of their service. But nowadays, you are absolutely right, they need to look and act in a way woke people think men generally act, i.e. as immature, rude and reckless as possible, while men need to be painted as villains and drooling idiots and kicked into the sand. Hell, I can't even imagine movies like Alien and Aliens being made anymore. Ripley would be way too feminine nowadays and even Vasquez from Aliens, who _might_ tick all the woke boxes at first glance, is way too feminine as well in the end and never seems to disdain her own femininity _and,_ capital crime, she sees and treats her the male Marines as equals and is perfectly capable to stand her own ground amongst them without permanently belittling them.
