Firefly goes Star Trek?

Most likely, this is what would have happened if UPN had purchased the rights to Firefly.

Not only is it funny, but it's good. Where'd you get such great quality out of mpg's?

Btw, you did an excellent job timing the ship's blast-offs with the music.

The P. Stewart monologue however, needs a rewrite. I proffer:

Space: it's really big.
These are the voyages of the transport, "Firefly".
Its continuing mission: to find strange, new jobs;
to keep flying, despite constant mechanical failure;
to boldly lust after a crewmember of the opposite gender...

Any other suggestions?

HAhaha, thats awsome!

As the other said, great job syncing up the engine "noise"()

If only you could convince patrick stewart to read that alternate monologue....

Was I the only one thinking you were going to match up characters with their respective Trek characters? Haha, how would that work?

Mal as Picard, since he's the captain and all,
Zoe as Riker, Jayne as Worf, Kaylee as Geordi (mechanic, engineer, same thing), Simon as Dr. Crusher (hehe), River as Wesley (genius kid).

I'm having a bit more trouble with Wash, Inara, and Book. Maybe Inara as a Troi figure, since she's always counseling anyway.

Great ideas! Though, I'd kind of like to see River as a young Q character, myself.

I see Inara as Counselor Troi, though it doesn't seem to do her justice. Hmmm.

I know this sounds stupid, but the closest Star Trek character for Wash seems to be Tom Paris.

Book? Now there's a tough one. How about Sisko, the Emissary?

Is TRS80 still making DVDs? I just read through the thread and it seems like I missed out on the I.P.O. If not, how do I get them, and who do I have to kill? 'Cause I'll do it....really.

Inara = Councilor
Wash = Paris
Book = Guinan, he has the religiosity mysticism "Gota have faith" thing going on.
