Hi, don't know if this is worthy of another thread or if I am just detracting from more important trains of thought but I was watching David Boreanaz's new series Bones ep 9 and one of the characters said to another, refering to a robot that does the oposite of what it is programed to do "...you ask ask it to take out the garbage and it watches reruns of Firefly".

Just thought Id'd mention that there is another show which is plugging Firefly. In one of the eps (ep 15) Adam Baldwin stars which also helps plug Firefly.

I thought so. :) Hopefully more things like that quote pop up.

Thanks for the tip.

Every little plug helps.

Cappy says there's going to be one in White Noise 2.

Neopets.com has a few Firefly plugs floating around. My favorite is this:

%2Bof%2BInevitable%2BBetrayal


They also just finished a plot where the pilots name is Hoban. One of the prizes was an avatar that has a picture of Hoban and says "A leaf on the wind". They also admitted to liking Firefly in there last Neopian Times(newletter). I'm just happy to see that they are helping to get the word out in their own way.

Oh yeah I used to have a neopet....i wonder if it died.....

This isn't a mass media reference but last time I went to a diner my friend and I just sat and quoted the lines at eachother. And on (of all places) the message board for the band Mindless Self Indulgence, I have found a few browncoats :)

Not sure how many have seen this-

Apparently Universal is not above sneaking in plugs for the 'Verse in some of their other works, or maybe Adam Baldwin did it himself.

Notice that under actors, "Jayne Cobb" is listed.

Universal is really starting to grow on me.

That was cool.

Also on the season premiere of The Unit the codename for the CIA operative at the beginning of the show was FIREFLY. It was repeated about 10 times.

I didn't see it this week but Summer Glau is supposed to be in The Unit this season. I thought the shout out in the season opener was a good way to welcome her.
