Firefly Behind the Scenes

[@thing2liv]

Firefly is the most literal "Space western". I love it's focus on characters, no weird plot focus, no alien overload, just people cooperating and struggling. It is the characters that makes firefly great.

[@sockmon1]

See you, space cowboy

[@xforge]

One thing I'd had and still have had quite bloody enough of is aliens who are just humans with latex bumps on their heads.

[@DuizhangLu]

Rest in Peace Ron Glass. You'll be dearly missed.

[@IrrevMike]

I had the pleasure of meeting Ron Glass at Gen Con some years back. I got an autographed picture. Some time later, I met Summer Glau at a different Gen Con. She signed my copy of the Serenity RPG rulebook. RIP Ron Glass.

[@voicetube]

Ever since the show, I valued, more, the experience of seeing fireflies while mowing my grass, early evenings in the spring here in Garland Texas. Amazing how a TV show can change somebody's life for the better in so many ways. Well, of course TV shows usually don't - but, Firefly was no average TV show!

[@matthewhealy4752]

I've grown up on the northwest and way before Firefly the TV show existed I went to the east coast once and was so excited to see an actual Firefly it blew my mind!

[@voicetube]

@@matthewhealy4752 rock 'n' roll! Unfortunately, this last spring, didn't see as many but still caught a few. Always makes me think warmly of the show :-)

[@nagualdesign]

You should listen to _Fireflies_ by John Grant. Preferably a live performance where he talks about the meaning of the song before he performs it.

[@voicetube]

@@nagualdesign great song.

[@nagualdesign]

@@voicetube 👍🏼

[@Darhhaall]

Firefly is love, best show in television history. I am wondering if it occurred to them, back then, that this is creatively best year of their life.

[@Muhammad_Ibn_Raqib]

I'm just going to say this, and if anyone here agrees please thumbs this up. Firefly to me is home, it's a place where i can go to feel free, relax and laugh and just simply indulge in the "serenity" that the show/film creates. Never did i think for a SECOND that a TV show would find a place in my heart! I know to some i sound crazy, but to all my die hard browncoats out there you know how i feel! Never stop the signal, and aim to misbehave!!! Joss & Tim you beautifully brilliant men! bravo!

[@voicetube]

100%, my friend.

[@BJCulpepper]

I cannot tell you how much I miss this show and every actor. Every person was exactly right for their part.

[@moonlilymad711]

If this is a space western, that ship is his steed! That thought is so sweet to me. He takes care of it, it takes care of him. A man and his "horse."

[@Jiraiya7394]

Best show in the 'verse. Plain and simple.

[@MikeRoberts1964]

If this show had been made for a cable company or Netflix, it'd have gone for seasons untold. FOX was so short-sighted.

[@robertlee1497]

Short-sighted? Me thinks you're giving Fox way too much credit...they were blind.

[@dexterpoindexter3583]

​@@robertlee1497 And as we've seen more recently, not even in possession of a white cane 🕶 🤬

[@rymic72]

SyFy as a cable company has canceled many excellent shows. The Expanse being a prime example (pun intended)

[@5Gburn]

​@@rymic72Back when Azn Studios could be trusted to not put out gafbage. ::sigh:: The Expanse was epic--changing production channels got it the exposure and wrap-up it deserved (Alex Kamal's demise notwithstanding). Same for Lucifer.

[@michaelburke5907]

Jeezus, Fox put out so much inane trash at the time and they had the stupidity to cancel this show. What idiots the suits are.

[@posys5140]

This was and is my MOST FAVORITE SHOW of all time !

[@cernhutch]

This was the most epic, fantastic sci fi television show ever made to date. I sorely miss it. Cannot understand how this classic was cancelled.

[@nicholasbennett3990]

Firefly is more than a show... it's a feeling...it's a commentary on us as individuals. Firefly was and still is one of the best television shows to ever be created. It's cancellation was bittersweet. All of the fans who have fallen in love with it are so dedicated to the beauty and perfection of what makes great television. Firefly is the reason I love watching T.V. and film. Even if the show never comes back to air I will still watch and re-watch the series, still getting that "shiny" feeling.

[@erl7466]

Every few months i watch this show from start to finish. while i would have loved to have gotten more, i realize that too much time has passed, and it is likely that we can never have them revisit it to our satisfaction. this sucks, but now, maybe that’s good. thanks so much to everyone who made firefly and serenity what it was; it was a disservice to have such an accomplishment cut short. “I am a leaf on the wind, watch how i soar!”

[@se7enofnein]

I cry... every time *that* happens

[@danettej4796]

This was a excellent Sci-fi series. The movie “Serenity” was great. It blows away anything new that has hit the screen since this series. A lot of people think the same way. We all need more of it. Please need it to return.👍

[@billmartinson4205]

Firefly was excellent but I did not like Serenity at all. The story was weak, they violated some of their own rules about that universe, and Joss made the film in a temper tantrum against Fox to destroy the franchise so nobody else could continue it. Doing Wash so dirty was unforgivable. I hated that film and immediately wanted it to start fading from my memory.

[@billmasters385]

I'm an old school sci-fi snob, but this show had its own magic that is hard to describe. It was by far the most relatable sci-fi I have ever seen.

[@TerrHimself]

Serenity still flies in our hearts. don't you ever forget that

[@NoCoverCharge]

Firefly greatest show of all times

[@SergeantSarge]

It is SO SO rare to find a cast who are so dedicated to the film/tv show/game they are making. Plenty treat each project as just another job and, whilst they may be good actors/actresses, they never really invest themselves. That, to me, is why Firefly is so incredible.

[@manturian]

I just love how they described Serenity. It wasn't just a set to them, it was like a home.

[@macherbie]

This beautiful show had a way of pulling the viewer (me) into the family on that ship, not just as a spectator, but actually part of it. The show made the impossible seem easily real, It was truly unique, just like the cast-beautifully real and unique! I miss them and watch it over and over and will continue to do so to be part of that family. When Ron Glass passed, I mourned the loss of the Shepard!

[@davidboivin7996]

This is the show I always come back to when I want to feel at peace with the world. Fantastic stories, amazing characters and the magical home Serenity!!

[@friedmaniac]

Well, I lasted until about the last 5 minutes without crying.... Couldn't do it. Just seeing how much they care about that ship is wonderful. Firefly was one of the best shows.

[@HumanAki]

In another universe, we got 6 seasons of this masterpiece, 2 movies, and a spinoff sitcom where Mal and Inara raise a bunch of Buddhist Browncoat mini-thems.

[@DMisty]

Man, I needed this, just to know that there are still people out there who care as much as I do about this ship. Especially the cast. Keep flying, people.

[@a.rjohnson4257]

I still miss this show a lot and I can't even count how many times I have watch this series over and over.

[@TheMechanicalGirl999]

True words were never spoken by a more shiny lookin' man! Keep flyin' safe through these troubled skies, fellow Browncoat and forever let the signal flow free!

[@HanzShaoPing]

I loved how well Summer brought River's character to life, so good. She nailed it.

[@Karnalsyn]

Best story to ever be told and never be completed. RIP firefly, may you once again grace our skies.

[@lifehasdragons]

it's so obvious how much love everybody had for this show and it's audience is no different. We all love that beautiful old ship, the actors love it, Joss loves it, and that reflects so beautifully when you watch the show. Serenity is the heart and soul of Firefly, who's life was cut all too short.

[@SplitHaru]

that's the point; she wasn't chubby. I think Jewel was saying she was a bit skinnier than normal because of the demands of other tv shows, and Whedon wanted Kaylee to look like a normal girl. Which I highly, highly approve of.

[@matthewhealy4752]

As far as the show was concerned she was the perfect balance, definitely not chubby.

[@ohhellnowassupdog9040]

Jewel Staite will always be my crush

[@Lue_Jonin]

I absolutely and utterly adore this series... From the concept to the cast it was done nothing short of Top Shelf. ❤ 🎥

[@BryonLape]

Outside of The X-Files, Fox had no idea how to manage Sci Fi series, despite having more than one winning awards.

[@HeyouCrow]

Shiney! 6:09s 👍

[@PhengKhang]

Still miss this show. Wish I could have seen the set of the ship.

[@MythicDO]

From time to time, I come back here and I feel like home watching this cast.

[@bassabassaful]

the fact that this video exists makes my life worth living.

[@lnfreeman]

aw gosh. Adam Baldwin is so sweet. he made me tear up.

[@TheUduak]

Great Show! Looks like they all had a blast working on it. One thing they forgot to mention was the incredible music!

[@kathynavarro-sochel755]

Miss FIREFLY!!!

[@drugstorerecords]

fucking testament to joss and tim's talent that they still produced such a sweet show under such stupid scrutiny from fox execs. would've been awesome to work on the set of this show

[@nemo9xiphos]

One of the best series ever

[@jenefaner]

*tears at the end. :'( I miss this show so much!

[@virginiataylor5593]

One of the best shows ever! Lightning in a bottle!

[@FLOABName]

god i miss this show

[@azrael407]

i don't believe anyone will ever hear people talk about a show, set and cast the way everyone from 'firefly/serenity' does. its sad for something so beautiful to be so short-lived. Browncoats Forever! If we truly believe, they'll never be able to stop the signal! :D

[@NutShellTheo]

As much as we all want more "Firefly", I believe that in its minimal form it carries more impact and distilled essence. "Firefly" never had time to make a misstep, or create a "less than" episode. Each one, like it's characters and milieu, are essential. Sometimes, though we wish otherwise, less is truly more.

[@lynnbethechange]

I really miss this show. I'm a Nathan fan because of this show, and I've watched (streaming) Castle and Rookie because of him.

[@janetgerow7163]

I watch Castle and Rookie again and again 😋 Slaughter and Castle are quite the pair .

[@Maniacbob]

I love listening to all of the actors' experiences on the ship.

[@Prence]

Now I want to go rewatch Firefly. lol

[@kbsydney]

Nathan looks so young here (and yes, I know this was from a while ago - but he looks younger than he did in the Firefly episodes)

[@nathandi_maggio8297]

im rewatching this show as I type love it

[@Saucyminx597]

The best tv-show of all time!

[@walkinghumandisaster]

I feel much same way about these characters, and the universe and the ship as I do for Harry Potter. Now Harry Potter was childhood I grew up with the books, and they meant a lot to me. That took seven books. Firefly won me over in a season. It has away of grabbing at your heart, at a nostalgia and your imagination and it is expressed so fucking well. I care about this show more than I do about a lot of others because there was such love and dedication that went into it and it's palpable.

[@iipw133blueyonder]

I agree - This is the BEST show EVER

[@robertpowser5624]

The scene where River runs away from Preacher because of his hair was soooooooooo hilarious! I laughed so hard!

[@fourthplanet]

one of my favorite shows.

[@Centuries_of_Nope]

I like how the mention, this is us in the future. We are exactly the same just with better technology. That's part of the reason why I am not only fascinated with Sci Fi but also fascinated with history. It's the same as today, but with worse technology. Nothing has changed, just the things we use. I think once more people notice that, the more of an appreciation they will have for history and Science Fiction.

[@cirrustate8674]

The truth is, good sci fi is NEVER about the science. It's about the people. Good sci fi is a statement about what it means to be human. It's a way to explore our problems and our foibles in a(supposedly) non-threatening, non-challenging way.

[@DanielCollingwood]

09:47 Jayne: "down-and-dirty characters: ... I just thought, boy it'd be great to play a guy like that... but hansomer"

[@crysis327]

when Joss Whedon said that "all of the pressure of being in a show that can get cancelled at any second" and then smiling completely destroyed me.

[@LakusPakus]

Goddamit. I cry every time I watch something about Firefly ;(

[@luchilenium]

Ron Glass is such a happy guy! :D

[@alyx19]

I've watched this show more than a 100 times (aiming low, seriously), and I ALWAYS laugh with the same jokes!!

[@joseenoel7142]

I miss this show, even if the movie was AMAZING! The show need to come back!

[@mightyflagelot9816]

I revisit this video every now and then… still amazing and one of the great sci fi ever!

[@evansouza8597]

I, like many of my fellow Browncoats, own this box set, seen this Behind-the-Scenes segmentt many times, and STILL watch it many years later on KZbin.

[@jaagup]

Really great show

[@chubbysenator]

OMG I can't get over Ron Glass's laugh!!

[@wod5203]

This made me want to watch the series and Serenity all over again, so just bought the dvd's... I hope the actors are still getting royalties from it because they deserve them!

[@charlyblue4174]

I know this is fighting an up-hill battle, but I WANT MORE! It was and still is one of my all-time favourite TV-series, and I'm grieved to see what FOX did to it.

[@pauljohnson600]

that was the coolest syfy concept next to stargate and star trek. so sad to never see it work out.

[@pauliporcupine]

omg!! when the talk about Serenity make me wanna be part of Sereniity's crew!! Serenitiy = Home

[@VanillaMostly]

as a chinese person i had a lot of fun hearing the random chinese popping up in the show! xD

[@Keihryon]

Its a shame that FOX refuses to sell the rights to Firefly. And also refuse to do anything with it.

[@tackyman2011]

Aaaand now Disney owns it. Fucking Disney.

[@timgooding9464]

Disney. Your wish has come true and now we can get a nice woke Firefly. Who can't like it?

[@TheHPluver101]

Summer Glau is just the cutest thing ever!

[@Chewsstudio]

The biggest mistake Fox made was not giving this series a longer run time and not having faith in it!

[@jacobtyne9736]

they shot it in the leg and expected it to run

[@sorell9861]

But it crawled on as long as it could. Amd the fans of Firefly will carry its memory forever.

[@obiwankenobi5845]

SOME GODDAMN FAITH!!!!

[@Schmidteren]

i cant help but enjoy listening to so many things that was thought about when they made the show, much love and work seems to have went into making it

[@butcrac]

2012 and I still think the show was awesome!

[@ColShephard]

Us Brown Coats need our captain back. Bring back FireFly......!

[@demoniosolitario]

"Firefly is the source of probably more joy and pain of anything I've done." Josh Whedon. Josh now is among the Elite of best Directors in History. I wish a Serenity Two will come to life, I'll miss wash and The Preacher, but 7 of 9 will always be fun.

[@orealcookie1989]

serenity is to firefly what the impala is to supernatural!!

[@neverstopgrowing728]

I so wish there were more episodes of this.

[@deanbeingcurious]

The sequel audiobooks are fantastic.

[@MoonHippi]

I love this show!!

[@midwest4416]

What a GEM.

[@tuckertucker1]

Fox blew it. This show could have turned into a huge television / film franchise like Star Trek or Star Wars. There was a whole universe of ideas to grow into - but they were blind.

[@larrykepke]

What a shame! This was the best show ! Better than anything since.

[@jefframblerman8268]

WOW.. fabulous video

[@donaldparlett7708]

Still the best show ever created and the network failed it totally.

[@Occy30]

This show had the literal most gorgeous women in all of history! All of them! I especially love how they moved to other sci-fy shows over the years.

[@jvc110u]

It's never to late. They could bring back one more movie. When l'm waiting for meetings to start or bored on lunch break or have problem sleeping I watch one the TV eps or movie. I carry all of them on my iPhone all the time. I misses them.

[@MapleBalls]

Nice upload.

[@Swordsquire]

@ENAIRAMA1 That year 3 really awesome shows were cancelled, Firefly, Farscape, and John Doe. Two of those shows were on FOX. Haven't watched them since.

[@primegaurdian]

My Take on the Fireflys shape reminded me of a horse like you have a cross between a insect and a robotic horse.the heroes arrive or escape in their firey steed,hence a space western. a Pegasus in space.

[@meghanmonroe]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

[@RJTrezise1983]

Goddamn I miss this show

[@RJTrezise1983]

Like seriously it makes me sad every time I watch it all and then realize that they never got the chance to really explore it properly. For all the absolute trash that is on tv to exist is an insult to those of us who love this show. Every cunt Kardashian has their own show for twenty seasons but firefly gets only one? Fuck this planet.

[@OopzyDayzy]

RJTrezise1983 at least theres the graphic novels.

[@RJTrezise1983]

OopzyDayzy Yeah, but it's cold comfort because so many of us were in love with the show.

[@OopzyDayzy]

even cold blankets warm eventually. im hoping that fox tanks, and is forced to sell rights to stay afloat. they only keep the rights now to be petty and mean. we could easily raise the money necessary, buy it, and gift it to Joss with a bow. how many browncoat's tax returns would do it? but they wont sell until it benefits them, and it wont benefit them until their pocketbook is tortured in every other way. and until then we love our ship, our captain, and our crew, and we keep flying.

[@RJTrezise1983]

OopzyDayzy Until then I don't let anything I do benefit fox in any way. If there's a show on fox that's good I manage to watch it by other means, if'n you know what I mean. If fox ever puts firefly on again then it'll be awesome and I'll watch it as a reward to them for pulling their heads out of their asses. Hell, they're bringing the x-files back so why wouldn't they bring back firefly?

[@naomistowe4087]

The fact that Fox cancelled Firefly gives you a feeling in your chest that makes it so tight that you can't breath. When ever I watch a show... I watch the first episode and then I check how many more there are. And to see that there were only 14 episodes of Firefly makes you count... and you ask... how many more episodes intell it all ends? When I saw the last episode of Firefly I smiled and was going to watch the next one... but then the smile wiped off of my face when I saw that I had watched all 14 episodes of Firefly. So this is why I hate Fox. You got rid of the show that made thousands of people happy. And over one thousand people are not happy... Mal, Wash, Jane, Simon, Book,River, Kaylee, Innara, Zoey, Me and thousands of other fans all because you took Serenity away.

[@rickcoona]

Glad I have the box set of CDs along with the Serenity movie disk

[@phileasfox983]

Une super série, vivement qu'un réalisateur et un producteur aient envie de la reprendre.

[@CloneJFK]

10:00 Summer! Awww, my heart just melted.

[@klondikechris]

Just finished watching the series again for the umpteenth time! I'll be watching the movie Serenity next. I think I appreciate it more and more every time I see it. It was a brilliant show, and I think they were entirely wrong to cancel it.

[@Schmidteren]

I first watched it this year, and that is preposterous.. The network must NOT have done its job, the show is fing briliant!

[@jonassnorpimu8660]

Ron does laugh a lot.

[@ChetJang]

It is a wonderful creative show. The "Serenity" movie, for some reason, didn't have the same charm. I still have a major crush on Morena Baccarin!
