Firefly (2002) – Our Mrs. Reynolds, and Jaynestown
The problematic Joss Whedon wrote Our Mrs. Reynolds which had an air date of 4 October, 2002, and introduced a character that not only had a huge effect on Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), but also on viewers. The stunning Christina Hendricks appears as Saffron, a woman who shows up on Serenity claiming to be Mal’s…
Firefly (2002) – Shindig, and Safe
Since Fox had already screwed up the airing order of Firefly, it’s no surprise that despite Shindig being the fifth episode aired sixth after episodes that would come later in the timeline. Morons. Written by the talented Jane Espenson, this episode was broadcast on 1 November, 2002. Mal (Nathan Fillion) and company need a job….
Firefly (2002) – Serenity
Yes, Joss Whedon is problematic. But damn, I loved Firefly. Yes, he created it, but like Buffy and Angel, he’s not the only one who brought it to life. So with all that Nathan Fillion and the cast have done of late to bring about a continuation, in an animated format, I’ve decided to dig…

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…
Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. S01E01 – Pilot
Joss Whedon returns to the small screen while expanding the universe he got to join and play in with The Avengers. As a pilot, the episode is well-crafted, introducing all the characters, both primary and secondary, giving us broad strokes of who they are, and the dynamic and role they’ll fill on the show….
The First Rule of Flying…

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…
