When I saw the article about "Firefly returns to cable", I got super excited and thought they were making new episodes. This is still cool news, but man, I wish my initial thoughts had been true.

Bizarre new Firefly collectible features a naked Nathan Fillion

Huh?

Quote:

I had no doubt this illustration was going to raise quite a few eyebrows. So what's the surprise? It's absolutely in line with Nathan Fillion's perfection. Men want to be him. Women want to be with him. It's no wonder. When you've got a got a custom revolver with a barrel like that for a loincloth it's official: You represent the ultimate in manliness.

'Firefly' getting reunion TV special, filming at Comic-Con

Quote:

The special — titled Browncoats Unite — will include footage from Friday’s reunion panel, featuring several members of the original team including star Nathan Fillion and creator Joss Whedon. Plus, the cast is shooting an in-depth behind-the-scenes roundtable interview that will dive deeper into burning fan questions about the beloved series. Both the panel and the roundtable will be moderated by Entertainment Weekly‘s own Jeff Jensen.

Sounds awesome.

10th anniversary of Firefly.

Quote:

Executive producer Tim Minear remains an outspoken defender of “Firefly.” The following are his thoughts and recollections about working on the project.

Quote:

“It was a very special experience. It was unique in a lot of ways. We were the underdog; we were completely unloved by the network. They did not like the show at all. They did not air the pilot. And when I submitted 'Out of Gas,' which has three time frames and a flashback, etcetera, the note was ‘Can you put this in order? It’s too fancy.’

And I told Joss, ‘If they make me do this, I quit.’ And he said, ‘If they make you do that, I support you in quitting.’

The last day of shooting, I was directing pick-up shots for unfinished episodes. So literally it would be like a line here, a scene there, a piece of a montage… actually a lot of it was for ‘Heart of Gold’ – we were doing a montage of them getting ready for the shoot-out, so we had this little tiny set, and I’d bring in an actor and I’d get some shots of them nailing up boards or whatever, and then at the end of their shot the A.D. would announce, ‘That’s a ‘Firefly’ wrap for Gina Torres.’

Now when an A.D. announced that somebody’s wrapped, usually it’s a guest cast member. So if somebody comes in and they’re in an episode and they’re done for the week, then the A.D. will announce, ‘That’s a wrap’ for this character and people will applaud or whatever. But here he was wrapping out for the series the main characters, which had a real sense of death. So this little tiny set became sort of an abattoir. Like they’d send in an actor and they wouldn’t come out alive, because they’d be done with the show.

So he would announce, ‘That’s a ‘Firefly’ wrap for Gina Torres, that’s a ‘Firefly’ wrap for Ron Glass,’ and every time he would do that, the actor would then make this impromptu speech to the crew and the other cast members about what the show meant to them, and it was all very moving, very sad.

So finally at the end of this, everybody went out to get drunk again except for me – I don’t drink – and I was exhausted, so I went home. And it was a Friday. I went home, I turned on the TV, and they were airing the pilot, finally. So it’s like, oh that’s great. Perfect timing, guys.”

Alan Tudyk's episode that was never filmed

Quote:

Alan Tudyk definitely pitched the most episodes. He had a great one where there were some criminals who engage in illegal dogfights, and there was a planet where one side of the planet was perpetual night. They had these big, feral dogs there that were so mean and awful, and we had to go out and trap them.

We had this dog pheremone of some kind, and Jayne was messing around, and splat!, the thing bursts and we're all covered in this pheremone. So we have to run back to the ship with these feral dogs chasing us, and we get the dogs back to the hold of the ship, and we're safe. But in the journey back to get them back to the criminals, River comes in, communes with the dogs, and domesticates them. So now they're the same dogs, just nice.

What kind of episodes would you expect Steve the Pirate to come up with?
