About Firefly

Setting

The show is set in the year 2517 CE, following the depletion of Earth's resources and an expansion of the human race into the frontier of outer space. The show takes its name from the "Firefly-class" starship operated by the central characters; the ship's class name is itself a reference to the appearance of the ship, whose tail section blinks during acceleration. Captain Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds is the veteran of a war of resistance against "The Alliance"—an organization that attempted to achieve the unification of all mankind under a single imperial government. A central "core" of planetary systems have fallen under Alliance control, while settlers and refugees in the farther reaches of space enjoy relative freedom from the long arm of the government but lack many of the amenities of a high-tech civilization. Mal now owns a small Firefly-class starship called Serenity, making cargo runs and performing various other tasks—legal or otherwise—to scrape together a living for himself and his crew.

Featuring a blend of elements from science fiction and western genres, the show depicts mankind's future in a way that is uncharacteristic of many contemporary science fiction programs. The dialogue and interplay between characters is central to the plot of the program, resulting in a story that is alternately serious and humorous.

Cast

Nathan Fillion plays Malcolm Reynolds,

Serenity's captain.

<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:iq1vPL2uakgJ:images.zap2it.com/20040514/ginatorres_firefly_240_002.jpg>
crew member and wartime friend of Reynolds.


Alan Tudyk plays Wash,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:3gfVKg3vGT8J:www.ruary.org/aglarond/blog/images/posts/firefly/wash.jpg>
the pilot of Serenity and Zoë's husband.

Morena Baccarin plays Inara Serra,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:c1nFJPM18pMJ:www.afan.dk/firefly/ffpic/mb_roger13b.jpg>
a prostitute (called a Companion - an honored profession in this society, with much in common with a renaissance courtesan or Japanese geisha) with special status on the ship and a mutual unspoken crush and love-hate relationship with Mal.

Jewel Staite plays Kaylee Frye,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:aDD12sAXNZsJ:www.davonline.com/epsi/firefly/kaylee_gris.jpg>
ship's mechanic. With no formal training, she keeps the ship, Serenity, running with an intuitive knowledge of mechanical things.

Adam Baldwin plays Jayne Cobb,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:nuNCXOdFDxoJ:www.angel-btvs.co.uk/firefly/images/adam_cast1.jpg>
crew member. A straight-forward (some might mistakenly say dull-witted), violent, and treacherous bandit that Mal bought off while in the very process of being robbed by him.

Sean Maher plays Simon Tam,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:UTQ5Yl9YnsgJ:www.ruary.org/aglarond/blog/images/posts/firefly/simon.jpg>
a surgeon and physician of the first caliber, on the run after breaking his sister River out of a research facility.

Summer Glau plays River Tam,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:U5KVmcrcBLAJ:www.iesb.net/movies2/Summer%2520Glau-IGC04.JPG>
originally a stowaway on the ship. Previously suffered exploitation in medical experiments for unspecified reasons (but with strong hints of brain tampering to bring out a natural psychic ability), presumably by the agency whose operatives include the "Hands Of Blue".

Ron Glass plays Shepherd Book,
<img:http://images.google.com.au/images?q=tbn:m_eEGSXQb0wJ:www.ruary.org/aglarond/blog/images/posts/firefly/book.jpg>
a preacher, holy man, or Shepherd, though there are hints that he is or was an agent of some Alliance organization.

The show's plot pits these characters against various criminals and schemers, Alliance security forces, the violently insane Reavers, and the mysterious men with "hands of blue" who are apparently operatives of some rogue secret agency within the Alliance. The crew is driven by the need to secure enough income to keep their ship operational, against the need to keep a low profile to avoid their adversaries. Their situation is greatly complicated by the very divergent motivations of the individuals on board Serenity. The show's brief run did not allow full elucidation of all the complex interrelationships of the cast and their external contacts.</center>

[Foxspike]: man was it a great seris us brits dont get shit till its hot shit in the states that pisses me off. Firefly beat Buffy hands down i havent yet been bored by any episode when i asked why was it cancelled i got a we dont know. BASTARDS AT THE FOX NET WORK U SHALL JOIN THOSE IN HELL WHO TALK IN THE THEATER

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: yea it was, its our little treasure coz they calleced it!! wankers at fox!....OHHH YEA, it soooo beats buffy, but buffy does have those great episodes like the wish....that episode was awsome with willow and xander as vamps!!, yea same!! hahahahaha exactly!!! and those who take sexaul advantage!!

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: isnt that special

[Foxspike]: well i when i mean buffy i meant the last series and the one with the trio. terrible i stopped watching the slayer baby girls or what ever johnathan being killed made me feel betryed in since the first season all the times he could have died and did buffy saves him. then that fuck pussy killed him i was like no not watching. willows new girl friend wanted knocked out 'willow is more powerful than u buffy' id have knocked her out like. Kalad was the best part coz he was killing them all lol 

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: hahahaha i feel your pain!! calab was awsome!!!

[Foxspike]: another thing i hated was spike as buffy's little bitch. Spike aint no ones bitch thats what made him brilliant. i thought it was great when he wanted to kill every one but couldnt. the best episode (after the school ones ended) was the one with the Indians, spike with all the arrows in him and Xander with Smallpox it was well good

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: hahaha yes that was great!! and yea i dident like buffy from doing that, coz spike is awsome

[Mal Reynolds]: just a quick note to remind everyone to check out Slither, its a horror/comedy and Nathan Fillion plays the lead role! looks like its gonna be good!

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: ohhhh really

[Foxspike]: yea we wanna see it looks funny as hell i think Fillion will be on fire all through it

[-xXCemetery † ThingsXx-]: haha kool, looking forward to it

[Perplexity]: Did anyone else cry out "NOOOOOOOO!!!" when Wash died in the movie? I was also disappointed that Shepherd Book's questionable backstory, which they hinted at so often in the tv show, was not explained at all. I guess the movie can only be so long though. Damn it, they need to bring back the series!!! *sniffle*

[Perplexity]: Good news for Nathan Fillion fans: Slither comes out on October 24th =)

[Foxspike]: what a film that was 'Fuck was that??'

[Muerta]: Yes!!! I was sooo pissed off when he died!!! I thought Zoe would've had a bigger reaction to it though! *breaks out into sobs* i want the show back!!! :(

[Foxspike]: well she did try to kinda get her self killed in the face of all the Reavers and there was some sobbing going on but wash was really kool him and Book hard to think if it came back they wouldnt be in it, they were part of the crew a crew where every one was unique and there was no clean cut good guy captain that is all about the greater good of the united earth forces or some crap. in this the united army people were the bad guys and i love it. it is also a a throw back to the American Civil war

[Venus 53]: does anyone know anything certain about season 2?
