Firefly

You can’t take the sky from me

This was another one season wonder that found its following after it was canceled. Firefly was created by Joss Whedon and it was a space opera/Western that followed the crew of the Serenity, a “Firefly” class ship.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds led his merry band of thieves across the galaxy in search of wealth and happiness.

Firefly starred Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Adam Bladwin, Jewel Staite, Ron Glass, Sean Maher and Morena Baccarin.

The interaction among the talented cast is really the strength of the series. The dialogue stood out as always in a Joss Whedon scripted show.

The show was canceled after airing 11 of 14 first season episodes. The final three episodes did air on DVD. The show became such a cult hit, inspiring a desire to resurrect the show, that a wide released film came out called Serenity.

Every time the cast members are involved in any fan events, it seems inevitable that there would be questions about Firefly. Nathan Fillion even dressed up as a “space cowboy” and donned his Captain Malcolm Reynolds outfit on a Halloween episode of his next show, Castle.
