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

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.
Shiny!
The Jubile Early episode is peak television.
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.
Oh yeah, I forgot! I totally agree! The movie was good.
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.
A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies. The chance to begin again ina golden land of opportunity and adventure.
I think that’s a different SciFi series…
It most definitely is. But it seemed appropriate here.
Indeed it does.
Just finished up a rewatch the other day actually. God do I love that show. Need to go watch Serenity now I guess.
Great show, will forever be stained by joss whedon
It won’t, don’t know who this whedon dude is(and don’t care) but their irl actions can’t do anything to the show.
It will, but I think of his shows this one bears the least of his stain.
Between the Joss factor and the fact that the heroes are obviously based on “lost cause” confederates, who today are all racists hicks, it’s hard to watch now. But it’s soooo well made.
Yeah came to say the same. His shows are forever tainted and I say that as a fan of Buffy, Firefly even Dollhouse.
To me, Dollhouse always had a bit of a predatory vibe about it. It almost felt like a “hey, want to know what it feels like to watch a snuff film” vibe…and I don’t mean videos of people simply dying.
The other big 3, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, all felt pretty good to me. Progressive for the time.
Everyone used to hype Buffy and the cast had to bite their tongue, now they’re honest about what a nightmare it was working with that creep
What’d he do again?
General all around shitbag, but particularly abusive towards female staff and cast members. There’s some horror stories out there
That’s too bad, I hope he grew as a person since the 90s, I really liked Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog
