Hi,
I purchased the film Serenity last week and really liked it, a few days ago i decided to buy the first season box set and i've just finished watching that. I noticed that Firefly is a few years old, did they ever make a second season? I can't seem to find it in the shops.
Kind regards - David.

First of all, welcome to the boards! Others will be by to offer you all sorts of goodies!
Unfortunately, there is only the wonderful half season of Firefly for us to watch, absorb, and love. We still hold out hope of another movie...

Hi, thanks for replying 
So the firefly box set (episodes 1-14) is only half of the first season? Is the second half another box set?
So where does the film jump from in the storyline? Does that continue from the last episode of the boxset? I was a little confused by that.
Thanks again - Dave.

The 4 discs are all we have...
I believe the movie picks up 6 months after the last episode..

EverLite, welcome to the FFF.net site. Your post did bring a smile to my face. We have been wanting more for a long time. There have been quite a few threads about what to do once you're addicted to Firefly/Serenity.
Here's one that was started by GrayFury:

1) Watch the series IN ORDER as they are formated in the DVD box set.
2) Watch ALL the Bonus material on DVD box set
3) Repeat step 1 but this time with all the commentary tracks ON.
4) Get Extended Gag reel from Firefly on a site that downloads video... I like Limewire. Or go here...
5) Read "DEAD OR ALIVE" unfilmed script... Link is here... http://www.fireflyfans.net/feature.asp?f=45
6) Watch the River Tam sessions... In Order... Link Is here... http://www.session416.com/mirrors
7) Read All 3 Dark Horse comics, entitled Serenity Or get the paperback Those left behind.
8) Watch the BDM (thats what us Browncoats call the Serenity movie... It means BIG DAMN MOVIE. Derived from the line by Zoe in the episode "Safe"... "Big Damn Heroes, Sir!")
9) Watch all Bonus material on the BDM DVD
10) Repeat step 8 But this time with Joss Whedons commentary track on
11) Read the novelazation of the BDM, There are a few Non-Joss insights that are aluded to in the book.
12) Read "Finding Serenity" edited by Jane Espenson, Its a clever compilation of essays written by different folk influenced by Firefly/Serenityhttp:// www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932100431/fireflyfansne-20?creative=3
27641&camp=14573&link_code=as1
13) Pick up the visual companion, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1845760824/sr=8-8/qid=1154104359/ref=
pd_bbs_8/104-7343664-1526304?ie=UTF8 and the movie magazine for Serenity... Nothing in there that any diehard Browncoat wont already know, But a joy none-the less. Also...The Firefly Visual Companion... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1845763149/sr=8-5/qid=1154104359/ref=
pd_bbs_5/104-7343664-1526304?ie=UTF8
14) Read "the Killer Angels" By Michael Shaara. It is a book that Joss read, and was moved by the mood, and honesty of, to the point of inspiration.
15) Buy the soundtracks to Firefly and Serenity... Listen to them in your car... pretend your flying
16) Buy all 5 action figures, thats 2 Mals 2 Jaynes and a Reaver.... Make them fight on your desk at work
17) Pick up the role playing game manual... Some feel this important
18) Go to http://www.donetheimpossible.com ...Order your copy of thr DVD
19) Buy a BLUE SUN shirt on ebay and wear it while rocking back and forth in the dark, in the fetal postion, thumb in your mouth, wondering how this show was not the slamdunk hit of the decade.
20) Repeat step 19
21) Repeat step 19
Now Any of you Browncoats noticed that I missed anything....lemmee know and I'll paste it in. (If I deem it to be something that enhances the verse') Some of you may have a beef with the order I placed 2 through 5 in. Its just a preference... any mixing of 2-5 won;t hinder shit. Same goes for 8 through 13. Enjoy!!
Unfortunately "4) Get Extended Gag reel from Firefly" is no longer available at YouTube. Fox/Universal have been cracking down on YouTube about videos of Firefly/Serenity things. It was the extension of the gag reel that is on the Firefly box set.

That's a shame. I've never really been a fan of sci-fi programs so much but Firefly was really different, in fact i don't even think it was a sci-fi program?
To be honest i'd never heard of Firefly prior to buying the film but i'm glad i did, Over the last four days i've really enjoyed watching the box set, so much so i even shed a few tears now and then :) I became very much attached to the characters. To be honest i'm really surprised and a little confused that there's no more, i thought it worked really well, it was funny, touching and very original. To be honest i'm so confused why there's nothing to link the story of the boxset to the film.
Oh well, it sounds silly that they only make half of series that works so well and then make a film that doesn't connect the storyline, i hope they do make another film. I really felt like i invested a lot of emotions in the characters, it's rare you can say that about a TV series.
Thanks again - Dave.

Welcome welcome. FollowMal will be around with your brown coat soon enough.
Note: not all of us agree to the "Watch the Episodes IN ORDER as they appear on the box set" thing. There's a thread somewhere around if you want to follow that debate.

Welcome to the special hell that is Firefly fandom!

Dark Horse did a three-issue comic book mini-series that does a little connection between the series and the BDM (that's "Big Damned Movie"). It's available on Amazon as a trade paperback entitled (I think) "Serenity: Those Left Behind." I highly recommend it.

After you get through the box set a couple of times, you'll notice many links from the series. Just a few off the top of my head:
1) River's craziness
2) Reavers
3) The Alliance's pursuit of River
4) Jayne's questionable loyalty
5) Kaylee/Simon romance
6) Inara leaving the ship
Also, there's a block of us voting for Firefly on an online poll (see the link in my sig). If you feel so inclined, give us some votes!
