It looks like Mal and the rest of the crew on the Serenity have been busy taking on odd jobs here and there since we saw them last. I just got word that they even took a job to Battlestar Galactica's homeworld. It's good to see Serenity still flying.



Note: Serenity appears about 16 minutes into the Battlestar Galactica premiere episode.

Much thanks goes to Hickks for sending us this little gem.

Wow, that's a cool photo.

Question: Are the Firefly Universe and Galactica really supposed to be connected? Or did the same company make space ships for both shows, and this is just a subtle tribute, or what?

Same VFX team over at Zoic Studios that created the effects for Firefly also did Battlestar Galactica. It's likely their little tribute. I hope they win another Emmy for their work.

Yeah, it's like the fact that the Millenium Falcon makes a brief appearance in 'Blade Runner'. Cute, I like it.

I didn't know about that. Here's one:

3 E.T.'s make an appearance in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace during the scene when the senate votes.

Serenity's cameo is a DEEPLY shiny thing!! May we see MUCH more of the lovely lady in months and years to come!

Question, DeSangro (totaly sanguine about the name, BTW): where in Blade Runner (the Director's Cut of which is a member of the exclusive Perfect Movie club) do we see the Falcon? For someone who's as fond of picking nits as yours truly, it is surprising that I missed this tidbit!

Keep flyin'!

...and vice versa. Deckers flying cop car appears in a scene of the "Phantom Menace".
I've seen a screen capture of it and it's pretty subtle, you'd have to be quick to notice it.

Oh, boy, this is embarrassing: I actually really don't know where the Falcon is in the movie; I've only just heard about it. I used to be a really huge Star Wars fan back in the late 90's before the Prequels came out, and I subscribed to Star Wars Insider Magazine and they showed the Millenium Falcon in it's cameo in 'Blade Runner'. I'm a little bit confused, actually: how many different versions of 'Blade Runner' are there, and which is the definative one?

I think that the new BSG miniseries is airing on the SciFi channel in the US on Dec. 7th. I'm sure they'll re-air it plenty times as well.
