Hey folks.
After watching Firefly and Serenity, I tried to hunt down what additional content there was. The deleted scenes. The River Tam sessions. The novelization of Serenity. The comic books. The script for "Dead or Alive." The 190-page original Serenity script. Until recently, I didn't realize there were additional short stories in "Firefly: Still Flying." I'm trying to figure out what else I might be missing out on.
I'm thinking of getting "Firefly: A Celebration (Anniversary Edition) (Hardcover)" which seems to include "Firefly: The Official Companion: Volume One," "Firefly: The Official Companion: Volume Two," and "Firefly: Still Flying." Is there anything else I haven't mentioned that I should check out?

Extended firefly gag reel
there used to be a lot of the videos pulled from the Official FOX Firefly site on YouTube, but looks like they're mostly all gone.
That's the only one I could find. And yes, definitely get Firefly: A Celebration. Well worth the $$, unless you already have the individual books. There's also a visual companion book for Serenity, but that's only in a soft cover.
Do you have the show/movie on disc? There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff on them that streamers miss.
Eta: you're the "no TV" person, ain't ya?

Done the Impossible, fanmade documentary about the show and the Browncoats.
Browncoats Unite! The Science Channel's 10th Anniversary Show.
If you look hard enough, you can find both on the internet.
You can rent/buy DTI through Amazon and iTunes.

Here's How It Was- the behind the scenes doc on the Firefly boxset.
The 10th Character- DVD featurette about Serenity herself.

Relighting Firefly- a short made to create buzz for the movie. It was released as a bonus disc with the Battlestar Galactica Season 1 boxset.

Serenity Commentary from the bluray.
The audio is slightly out of synch with the video.

Good memory! Yeah, I am the "no TV" person. I'm not against it; I just don't have a TV (or other way to play DVDs).
Thanks for the suggestion about the Serenity visual companion. I just looked it up on Amazon, and everyone seems to love it.
I forgot to list "My Own Kind of Freedom." I guess it's not quite canon, but it seems worth the read (so far).
Have you (or anyone else) read "Joss Whedon: The Biography" by Amy Pascale? What about "Joss Whedon: The Complete Companion: The TV Series, the Movies, the Comic Books and More: The Essential Guide to the Whedonverse" by PopMatters? Are either of these (or any other Joss Whedon book you've read) worth recommending?

Well the obvious additional content is the River Tam Sessions (sometimes known as the 416 sessions) - 5 short vids produced as part of guerilla marketing starring Summer and Joss. Not a lot, but it's cannon (in that it's written by Joss). A quick google will find you lots of sites with these still archived/active.
Then there's the fan films, which do vary in quality, but are all made with love and enthusiasm and many are extremely good.

River Tam Sessions made my list, but I hadn't seen all of this fan created content. Sorting through serenityfirefly.com now! Thanks!
