      There is something between us

      To Captain and Irana.

      Captain told Irana that he has been floating for the past two years, and he really would like to live.

      Irana is wondering what does he mean by "to live"? Is he serious about getting back together or rebound? Would it be better to just keep it strictly business? What is his expectation for the rebound They tried once, and it did not work for a reason. As smart as she is, she knows they are deeply different people. She likes to make plan and follow them, put...

      remarks after the end

      I finally finished watching it off and on for two months. I was very reluctant. The good reviews on the Internet did not disappoint me. It is also the best science fiction drama I have ever watched. Although many places are too unsci-fi, such as the dilapidation in the spaceship, the lack of special effects, weapons, etc., but I can only say a little bit of shortcomings. Its future world view and background are very sci-fi, and every story is very interesting. I also want to say, what should...

      Since I found peace...

      Before watching it, I was very curious, why there are only a dozen episodes of TV series in total, so it is still so fanatical that a fan group can be formed. After watching it, I think it really deserves its name. Although it is short-lived, it is very tense. This story revolves around a group of marginal characters, their ship is called Serenity, the name is very different, different from Star Trek, enterprising, discovering, exploring and so on, that kind of enthusiasm and enterprising...

      Suddenly burst out the feeling of "hitting your lungs"

      The highly rated sci-fi drama on the Internet, a ship, and several members with distinct personalities. The handsome and heroic captain, the trustworthy female first officer, the driver who likes to talk about guns, the rich and lustful muscular and violent man is responsible for the output, and the genius mechanic woman is responsible for the support. All kinds of stunts are like an old priest with a story, the most beautiful senior courtesan heroine in the whole play who has never been in bed...

      Light-hearted humor, with no shortage of justice

      This Eleven spent one night and one day to finish "Firefly", and then re-watched "Out of Serenity". On the whole, of course, the TV series are more brilliant, the theme of the movie version is a bit heavy, and the Hollywood blockbuster is too strong. Let’s talk about how you feel about the TV show.

          Wonderful story
          "Firefly" is typical of the overall structure of the main line + branch structure. The main line is to save Eva and fight against the alliance, and the side...

      There's no place I can be, since I've found serenity. A bunch of cowboys on a spaceship. Every episode has new ideas, the world view is not complete, and the soul of Fox is weak. PS: Where did you get the Chinese language coach? Let’s talk about it. What "drooling bitch and monkey's stupid son", "elephant exploding diarrhea", "holy testicles...how can you be so...

    Movie plot

    The background of "Firefly" is set in 2517. After human beings exhausted the earth's resources, they found a new galaxy, and hundreds of new earths were transformed and inhabited by people. The planets at the center of the galaxy formed an alliance and claimed control of the entire galaxy. After the end of a civil war similar to the American Civil War, many excluded independents were forced to come to the desolate edge of the galaxy...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Out of commercial considerations, FOX disrupted the original broadcast sequence when playing "Firefly", which was also considered by many fans and media to be the direct cause of the show's premature death. However, the subsequent DVD release and the rebroadcast on the Science Channel followed the sequence originally envisaged by the crew.
    Since FOX still held the naming rights for "Firefly" at the time, Jos Weyden was forced to choose...

    Background creation

    The play was written and directed by Jos Weiden, and co-executive producer with Tim McNair. Weiden once revealed that "Firefly" was inspired by a novel "The Killer Angels" about the Battle of Gettysburg in the Civil War. He hoped to follow the perspective of the defeated and describe the pioneering experience and nomadism. Life on the margins of civilization allows the audience and the characters in the play to find the meaning of life...

    Movie quotes

    • Shepherd Book: [Regarding Mal's new "wife"] If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters. And people who talk at the theatre.

    • Dr. Simon Tam: I always thought Serenity was a vaguely funereal name.

    • River Tam: Two by two. Hands of blue.
