The Browncoat thread for all things Firefly/Serenity

JMS had similar issues with B5. If you watch the DVDs, you may notice (especially now I've told you) that all the CGI was in 4:3 but the live action was shot in wide-screen. CGI shots on the DVDs, which appear wide-screen, are just zooms of a letterbox within the 4:3. Composite (green/blue screen) shots also have to bee zoomed in, occasionally meaning people have the tops of their heads chopped off.

If Firefly was shot and CGIed in wide-screen, it should be fine that way on the DVD/Blu-Ray.

my Firefly DVD set is "anamorphic widescreen 1.78:1"

(and now I even know what it means)

doesnt seem like that's anything "new" then, is it?

Minor update for an online poll.

Seems that NASA wants to name a new part of the International Space Station, they have made an online poll with several names one of which, you guessed it is Serenity.

Some Browncoats in NASA actually managed to have the name nominated, here is the link to the poll:

82% Browncoats so far.

To be perfectly honest, it's the only name offered which fits the theme of the other two nodes. Are you certain it was even browncoat-inspired, rather than chosen to fit the theme?

Unity-Harmony-Earthrise: Bleh.
Unity-Harmony-Legacy: Better, but doesn't really sound right
Unity-Harmony-Serenity: Fits
Unity-Harmony-Venture: Nope

Yep i am certain, NASA sources.

It may look cool but I don't have 2.500$ to spare, perhaps I will get it when my book is published

I hope you can get one when you can afford it. With only 1000 ever to be made I didn't want to wait. Also as a collector of art prints I just couldn't pass up the print I was offered with the replica.

The kit used to build Serenity consists of more than 250 parts, including resin, brass, aluminum and laser-cut acrylic. Many of the parts are custom-cut by hand, just for your replica.

Why'd he delete the post?

Anyway, I just came across that replica on another forum...I'd trade my firstborn for that model...

Not that I think Joss is not talented, - sometimes he does stupid stuff

I like it. The stories have been quite predictable or shallow in a few episodes, but overall it's an enjoyable programme. Fillion has been strong throughout.

Very belatedly discovered the greater joys of Firefly at Christmas via the complete series on DVD as a gift from a friend - sadly all too short.

This series should have had a future and been let run.
