For all the "Browncoats"
I starting this thread as a tribute to a Series that should have run several years (Fox, really dropped the ball)
It was written as only Joss Whedon can .... still grabs me when I watch it. He developed and entirely new way to put the English language together, and gave us 9 characters with something to like and dislike about each. For me the series was all about the interaction of those characters..... He teased an ongoing love affair with Mal and Inara that was full of longing.... emotions .... and never made it to the finish line. Classic Whedon slow burn. Four strong Female roles ... also Whedonesque
Anyway it's a place to put some of my favorite quotes and gifs. I'll keep posting if there's interest... It even inspired: A fan-made, not-for-profit, unofficial sequel to Serenity, titled Browncoats: Redemption. (8 yrs after it's cancellation) And inspired NASA Browncoat astronaut Steven Swanson took the Firefly and Serenity DVDs with him on Space Shuttle Atlantis' STS-117 mission in June 2007. The DVDs were added to the media collection on the International Space Station as entertainment for the station's crews
The Song.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.
Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.
I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.
Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity
And you can't take the sky from me.
"Wash" .... Favorite Line.."I'm a leaf on the wind....watch me Soar"
Mal and Inara......How's business...None of yours
