Serenity (2005) – Joss Whedon
Ahhh, Serenity. I’m so glad I got a chance to watch this one again, thanks to the Sci-Fi Chronicles book. I remember the year Firefly started, and the now legendary story of how Fox screwed everything up and didn’t give Joss Whedon and the show the support it deserved. Despite that of course, when…
Creation Entertainment Salute To Supernatural Toronto 2013
My first experience with a Creation Entertainment event was back in 2007 for their first ever salute to Firefly and Serenity. I’d tried to go to a different Firefly con the previous year, and it was cancelled the day it was supposed to start, but Browncoats are the shiniest, and out of the ashes…

I am ecstatic to have been wrong…

What Firefly Means To Me (or Why I’ll Always Be A Browncoat)
I came to the ‘Verse pretty late in the game. I’d never been a fan of Buffy or Angel (I remember refusing to watch the former because it wasn’t Kristy Swanson in the title role), so I wasn’t an automatic viewer of anything Joss Whedon did just because it was Joss Whedon. I was…
