Other tag-alongs include the enlightened-but-mysterious Shepherd Book (Ron Glass) and the prim/poised Simon (Sean Maher). Like Morena Baccarain's sexual "ambassador" Inara, who's a familiar and welcome face to the crew - though engaged in a "doth protest too much" flirtation with a petulantly hostile Mal.
Though with some passengers feeling more like "us" than others. A really cool story element that instantly creates an "us and them" dynamic aboard the ship. The episode then takes an exciting turn when Mal, for some extra coin, takes on passengers. "Serenity" throws a lot of bold moving parts at us - notwithstanding the mix of frontier prairie speak (with some Chinese flare) and the fiddle folk waltz score - but it all feels quite linear because of the simple story of "Mal wanting to get paid for goods and services." A gig involving a salvaged cache of food ration bars immediately shows us the crew's fear of patrolling Alliance watchdogs and shines a spotlight on Mal's overall discontent with the fickle smuggler scum - like Mark Sheppard's Badger - he's forced to make deals with in his quest to earn an honest illegal buck. Like a peripherally-blinded platoon leader would. Because Mal's default setting is to protect his immediate circle of comrades. It's there, but it takes some rather extreme circumstances to draw it out. And Serenity does a great job of giving us a hero who's spent so many years being angry and resentful that his previous nobility has been sort of squashed down deep inside him. It's now six years after the crushing defeat of the Browncoat colonist rebellion and Mal's got a severe, stubborn chip on his shoulder. Ex-"Browncoats" Mal (Nathan Fillion) and Zoe (Gina Torres) - seen on the losing end of the "Battle of Serenity Valley" during the episode's first few minutes - headline a crusty crew of smugglers that include wise-cracking Wash (Alan Tudyk), perpetually mutinous Jayne (Adam Baldwin), and charmingly chipper Kaylee (Jewel Staite). Exposition is abundant, but cleverly spread out and well-integrated into the story of a smuggling job gone south. "Serenity," as a double episode, still holds up as a rollicking, solid mini-movie. I will, naturally, begin these flashback reviews with the pilot episode, "Serenity," which was inexplicably aired toward the end of show's short seasonal run, despite the fact that it very obviously (as pilots do) introduced us to the premise, all the characters, and set up the ongoing story.
#FIREFLY SERENITY SYMBOL BACKGROUND SERIES#
At Stylin Online, pick up Firefly clothing like our Firefly Troublemaker T-Shirt, just like the one Jayne wears.Taking a few notable cues from Star Wars "lived in/junked" galaxy filled with smugglers, rebels, and imperialist regimes, Joss Whedon dialed the Western gunslinger aspects of the genre up to eleven with Firefly - a superbly unique adventure series that, unfortunately, was given such poor scheduling treatment by FOX back in 2002 that fans still hold an unwavering grudge to this day, long after all the network executives responsible have left. Oh.I forgot to mention, if you have the need to even dress like Jayne Cobb does, we have you covered. With any luck, maybe we can get all us Brown Coats back together.
