Firefly is a Joss Whedon Space Western named for the model of space ship -- "Firefly-class"-- captain Malcolm Reynolds (former soap star Nathan Fillion) adopts to carry out his outlaw interplanetary trading (piracy).
The show follows the exploits of Reynolds, a still-loyal ex-soldier for the "wrong" side, and his fellow renegade veteran (Gina Torres, who did a stint as Cleopatra in the Hercules series). The ship, a bit of a junkbox with Torres' husband as pilot, takes on crack mechanic Kaylee, and then some supposedly paying passengers: a girl, River, who turns out to be a psychic, government weapon on the lam; her brother Simon (conveniently a doctor), a hot-headed soldier of fortune (Jayne, played by Adam Baldwin), and occasionally the cortisan Inara (Morena Baccarin). In taking on passengers, the Firefly inherits each one's "baggage" and spends more time evading these attendant aventures than ever making a living.
Among other fun characteristics that make the show unique, the pirates speak a markedly idiomatic vocabulary. The show has spawned a comic series and a film, and fans hopefully await a film sequel -- no sign of that yet.
Little known fact: Firefly was also the name of a pod model in the 1960s Gerry Anderson marionation series Thunderbirds. Tribute or trip-up?

Puget Systems makes old-school boutique tower PCs for gamers. The last time I looked at one, it brought performance, heft, multiple video cards, and coolant tubing packed into a big Antec PC enclosure. It also came with something else: noise. Wired puts it so: performs like a Ferrari, sounds like a Mack Truck. Its latest, the Serenity gaming PC, fixes it for who hate the hum. On the outside, it's a classy, if nondescript Antec case. Inside...

The situation is complicated when they are reunited over the death of a bridesmaid at her wedding to another man.As the clip below and photos from the episode show, she...

DR. HORRIBLE’S SING-ALONG BLOG Finally, a chance to view “Buffy’’ creator Joss Whedon’s cult Internet supervillain musical on a decent-size screen. Neil Patrick Harris really does sort of make you want to sing along as the lovelorn, disrespected title baddie, and Nathan Fillion’s muscle-headed hero/foil is just as amusing. But wait, there’s more: “Commentary! The Musical,’’ in which Whedon and ...

Joss Whedon's online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" not only broke new ground for Internet media, it also landed an Emmy in the short-format, live-action category of the annual awards. So, it was probably no surprise that the series already had a sequel in the works long before all the award talk began. Back in [...]

After graciously losing the role of Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds, Nathan Fillion has been openly campaigning to play another superhero, The Greatest American Hero.
In this 1980's TV show that premiered with a two-hour movie pilot, a school teacher finds a suit that grants him superhuman powers. Fillion told MTV that he feels Greatest American Hero, believe it or not (yeah, we did just write that), is "ripe for a comeback." Fillion added...

Does anyone recognize and know where I can buy this scarf Nathan Fillion was wearing?
On the most recently aired episode of Castle, Nathan Fillion was wearing this scarf (sorry, poor quality Hulu screenshot). I've checked a number of different clothing retailers, and while I've found some scarves that are similar, they've all got something significantly different about them (too bright, different width, not as long, etc). I'm looking for a...

This week's episode of Castle didn't just offer a nod to fans of Firefly & Serenity - it treated us to a full 35-second inside joke (and then another couple minutes of Nathon Fillion walking around in a Captain "Mal" Malcom Reynolds-esque costume).Has it really been five years? I'm often wary of that heavy of an inside joke placed inside a show. I can just see someone unfamiliar with either Firefly or Serenity scratching their head. But hey, I...
