Today being the 23rd anniversary of the premiere of Firefly, I am both, doing a rewatch of the series as it aired, and started a new community for discussion of the show and related spin-off media.

Put on your browncoat and join us.
I literally finally started watching it two weeks ago. I thought I maybe wouldn’t enjoy it because it’s been overhyped by everyone online, turns out it’s been hyped just about right, love the show.
All these years later and I’m still so pissed about how fox handled the show. Truly one of the great injustices of the century.
I still can’t get over how hilarious the scene of Mal fucking with Simon about Kaylee being dead was. The cut to them laughing was so perfect. The editing was so masterful in the show.
I could never get into it. But everyone I know that’s into it is cool. And Nathan is cool. I’m not sure why it didn’t click with me.
When it aired initially I missed a few episodes, I worked an hour away from home and we closed on Friday night the same time it aired. I first saw the 3rd or 4th episode felt kind of lost. Several years later I caught it on sci-fi or something and really got into it.
Series didn’t click, but I liked Serenity.
I was so sad when i watched the last episode (it had been over for a while but i had only recently found the show and binged it). Its so good
There is a movie as well.
and some pretty great comics
Serenity
Only one thing’s gonna walk you through this, Mal. Belief.
…
When I talk about belief, why do you always assume I’m talking about God?
…
I don’t care what you believe. Just believe in it.
I love Sheperd Book. I don’t think we ever got an explanation for why he had an effectively “no questions asked” pull with the Alliance, and I kind of like that.
I would absolutely have loved more of the show and the world, but some aspects I think are better with no big resolution or explanation. Keeps the series and setting alive in my imagination.
For anyone else that this is not working, tidal.com/browse/track/76208807?u
Hmm. Sorry about that. I can see it via your home instance's Web UI, but it's possible that there's some other frontend or client that can't handle it.
This is still my ringtone.
As it aired? Boo. That order is weird. Dvd order is better.
What are the differences?
The original pilot / first episode, Serenity (not to be confused as the movie of the same name), is an hour and a half long and sets up a ton of context for the rest of the show.
Instead, Fox aired the second episode, The Train Job, as a pilot.
Serenity was ultimately aired as a series finale / 11th episode, the show was cancelled before he three remaining episodes were aired.
If you haven’t seen Firefly, I strongly recommend that you start with the Serenity Episode. You’ll know by the end whether or not this show is for you.
It is weird, I agree. Since I have seen entering multiple times it is not a big deal to me. I will revise my plan in case anyone else is planning to watch with me.
Shiny!
You’re aware of !firefly@lemmy.world, as you recently posted there. Would you consider consolidating the two communities?
I don’t think that the Firefly Lemmy userbase is large enough or divided enough to necesitate two communities.
Current moderator @MalReynolds@lemmy.world is AWOL for 2 years.
@kersploosh@lemmy.world, would you consider transferring !firefly@lemmy.world to @nokturne213@sopuli.xyz?
Yes, I know of the world community, but since it is devoid of any recent content I would rather start a community on a different instance than having yet another community on world.

Yeah, moving off-world is great for Lemmy overall. It would be great if we could get a pinned post on !firefly@lemmy.world redirecting folks to !firefly@slrpnk.net. Otherwise, new Lemmings who join .world might see the .world community, assume Lemmy has no Firefly userbase, and leave.
