the birth of simon jester

I am not entirely sure how I missed this, but Tim Minear’s (of Angel, Firefly, and Dollhouse fame) big-screen script for The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is online and available for your perusal.

Unfortunately, it is not likely to ever see celuloid…

two by two

If I thought this stood a snowball’s chance in a fusion reactor of actually working, I would be onboard in a heartbeat:

So, awhile back, there was a show called Jericho. It was about some post-apocalyptic world or something with nukes… the point is, it had a fan

pay 1, tap: regenerate target series

Castle“, “Dollhouse“, and “Chuck” are renewed (the last two are going to have to deal with budget cuts, though). Additionally, a remake of “V” has been picked up by ABC, including two folks off Firefly.
Shiny.

put it in writing

Thanks to a recent sale jogging my memory, I would just like to take a second to remind everyone that my little book, Everything I Need To Know About Life I Learned From Firefly (Third Edition), is still for sale over at CafePress. Reviews of the…

dressing up ken

Well, without being too spoilerific, I have ot admit I am somewhat surprised at the choice of actors to play Alpha in “Dollhouse”. Do not go looking it up yourself, if you do not want to ruin the surprise, but suffice to say, it is interesting…
Unfortuantely, the season…

crappy town

Some highly-skilled, intelligent, dexterous men grow up to be doctors, and have hamsters named after them.
Some knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards grow up to be knuckle-dragging, barely-civil, abusive bastards, and have a town named after them (and a song, and a statue).
Luckily for those of us without…

well that explains a few things

As a long-time Browncoat who has watched both Serenity and the entirety of Firefly far too many times (speaking of, I need to break them out again sometime soon), I confess to being somewhat embarassed for not having caught this cross-story tie-in before. Consider this image:

terminated

I am a little behind the curve on this, but Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (otherwise known as Summer Glau Kicks Everyone’s Asses) will not be returning for a third season. I cannot say as though I am terribly surprised, and Lanie’s webpage adequately documents why –…

up to speed

For those of you who were waiting for Dollhouse to start “being good”, or somesuch stuff, before you started watching it again, you should have turned it on again last Friday.
It took Joss a little while, but we are finally getting somewhere…

[...]

a face for movies

If you ever wanted to prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, your true Browncoat credentials, now is your chance.
Unfortunately, even the Browcoat in me is not so fond of an over-half-a-day drive. Verily, I am not worthy…

already got a name all picked out for her

Help NASA name Node 3 of the International Space Station.
You can guess which option I chose.

christmas serenity

Yes, I am a Browncoat. And given that this is currently the first and only ornament on my Christmas tree, I guess that makes me a rather lazy Browncoat.




(Pardon the focus problem – at these ranges, my point-and-shoots fare only so well…)

[...]

just wanted a quiet drink

You know, the Browncoat in me really wants to start referring to Inauguration Day as “Unification Day“.
It just seems more… auspicious, to me.

[...]

demon tripe

Well, this is certainly something for my fellow Browncoats to keep an eye on (shamelessly copy-pasted from their “Our Mission” webpage):

We, Michael C. Dougherty and Steven Fisher, are working on our own Firefly/Serenity fan film called “Browncoats: Redemption”. We’ve shared it with several Browncoats

chief’s got the right idea

1. Nathan Fillion (or at least his voice) is back for the sequel to Halo 3. Shiny.

Nathan Fillion of Firefly, who played a random ODST in Halo 3, is signed up the play one of the squad members. “So if you like the voice cast in Halo

my sky is gettin’ kind of crowded

Do want.

the right side

Somehow, this mentality just became a little more poignant today:

Zoe: Don’t think it’s a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage on us.
Mal: Everyone always does. That’s what makes us special.

Thanks to Ahab and Breda for the reminder.

dressing the part

Attire for tomorrow: Black boots (sadly, I do not have brown ones, and neither are my black ones calf-length… need to remedy that at some point), khaki pants, brownish-red shirt, brown coat. I am missing suspenders, but I guess those are not entirely essential… Of course, that said, stores these…

[...]

you think that’s a reflection on us?

Well, whether you have thought about it or not, Christmas is fast approaching. Honestly, I have not thought about it much either, but that is because I am a procrastinator extraordinaire. That said…
Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly is newer and…

look like an idiot

A worthy cause? Check.
A famous man? Check.
A cunning piece of headgear? Check.
Complete and utter geekery? Uber-check.
Cannot say as though I can swing $1259.56 (at the time of this post) for a hat, especially when there are a variety…

digital shininess

All fourteen episodes of Firefly.
All online.
And all free.
Granted, they are slightly out of order, but what better way to introduce the uninitiated to the shininess that is the Firefly ‘verse?

[...]

just a little creepy

River Tam (otherwise referred to as Summer Glau) plays a mean Terminator. I guess she just does the whole, “I can kill you with my brain/hands/feet/whatever-is-handy” schtick pretty well – and who is going to argue with this watching your back? (*Waits for the…

the light at the end of the tunnel

… is actually a very large, interstellar freight train with your name written on its cowcatcher.
I reported, with some enthusiasm, on the development of a Firefly-based MMO game back in 2006. Well, there has not been a whole lot of news about it since,…

gorram it all to hell

Every so often, rumors of a “Serenity” sequel pop up, and no matter how many times Joss Whedon says, “No, it’s not happening,” the rumors persist. Are they based on any behind-the-scenes maneuvers? Or if they’re not based on any reality in this ‘verse, why do they persist?

“The rumors

can’t take the sky from me

You know you might have watched too much Firefly when you see visitor hits from Beaumont, Texas, and accidentally read it as Beaumonde.
Yeah…. my coat is kinda a brownish color, actually.

can’t stop the serenity

Ok, so I am a little behind on this, but that is nothing new for me. Can’t Stop the Serenity is a project started by Joss Whedon (I think) to help support Equality Now, an organization dedicated to ending violence and discrimination against females…

shiny, let’s be bad guys

Well, after a semi-brief hiatus, I am very happy to announce that Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly is once again on the market.
Apart from changing store locations, there were a few other improvements to this particular edition… namely,…

feichang ganxie

I try and keep from being repetitive and redundant on my weblog, but sometimes, something is worthy of note more than once. A little while back, David, of Random Nuclear Strikes fame, sent me an email about my book, Everything I Need to Know

please, please, please

Please, please, please, please, please
Ok, yeah, I am a little behind the curve on this apparently, but the possibility of an honest-to-God Serenity 2 (even though both Wash and Book kicked the bucket, which I still very much dislike) is just too gorramed shiny…

gotta collect them all

I admit I have been somewhat remiss about this, and I apologize. For those who have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, a Collector’s Edition of Serenity is due to be released on the 21st of this month – just a scant few days away.…

better than a rain stick

David, from over at Random Nuclear Strikes, secured a copy of my book, Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Fireflya while back, and sent me an email with a few of his thoughts on it. I asked if I could post them…

i think we’ll rise again

As you all may or may not have known, I have been idly looking into creating a Browncoat-style costume for the past few months… Granted, I have nowhere to show it off (especially after missing ComiCon, much to my continual annoyance), but it is something…

a beginning

Who knows, this might turn into something. Update: Added/changed a few things.

With bullets repeatedly slamming into the other side of the crate he was hiding behind, Jonah realized he was not having the best of days.
“Ni ta ma de! Tianxia suoyoude ren. Dou gaisi! Would you go

breaking atmo

Go. Watch this video.
NOW.
Now that is out of the way, I have to admit, for being an amateur spliced-together film, that is just all manner of shiny. And do not even get me started on how awesome it is that Firefly and

thank you for the wine

Well, it is not wine, but I still appreciate the plug SerenityStuff.com put in for my book, Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly. And, I confess, no, it does not have any decent chili recipies in it, nor any…

as if there was any doubt…

You scored as Serenity (Firefly), You like to live your own way and don’t enjoy when anyone but a friend tries to tell you should do different. Now if only the Reavers would quit trying to skin you.

just drive on by

I admit, there has not been a whole lot of Serenity-related news on this weblog for quite some time now, and I apologize for that. Do not get me wrong – the news has certainly been out there… I have just been lazy. In the spirit of trying…

vacation to miranda

Shamelessly borrowed from here

In other news, Can’t Stop the Serenity is in fully swing…  Unfortunately, there are no showings I can easily get to, but if you happen to luck out and live in an area where it is showing, I strongly recommend getting up…

signal update

So, as you may or may not be particularly aware, I do have a CafePress store online, mostly focusing on Serenity-related items, with a few exceptions.  My pride and joy of the store is the book I wrote – Everything I Need to

they come in batches

It seems as though when I find one piece of news on Firefly, I turn around and find another one.  Of course, I am not complaining by any stretch of anyone’s imagination, i just am vaguely amused by the coincidence, that is all. 

So, onto this particular piece…

sailing the high …seas?

If I did not already know that my schedule would not allow me to partake, I would bloody well find the time and money to sneak my and Better Half’s way onboard the Browncoat Cruise coming up this December.  I confess that I am not terribly familiar with…
