MOMENT OF SILENCE is just that - that breathless, tense moment before all hell breaks loose! This episode definitely embellishes and enhances the movie, and the words of St. Jayne may just compete with Mal's "St. Crispin's Day" speech. I was fired up and pulling for our heroes in a completely new and fresh way in reading this episode. Great stuff - go check it out.

And while you're there, check it all out.

This one choked me up, writers...Jayne's grace SHOULD have been in the movie, DAMN IT! Book and Jayne were friends!...you couldn't have spared a minute, Joss?...I know, I know, it was all about Mal's heroic arc and River's "whatever we're suppose to believe she is now". I think we got it.

O.K. sooo...My favorite part is Zoe's and Wash's "until death do us part...move on if you need to" talk (sniff), juxtiposed with Mal's and Inara's "if I die, I will come back and haunt you, forever" exchange. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but it struck me as humorous and it speaks volumes about how the four of them view life, relationships, and love, differently.

These eps are great! Keep them coming, please!

I'd just like to tell all of you at stillflying.net that your professionalism, adherence to canon, and your feel for the characters and world of "Firefly" make the Virtual Series some of the best fanfic I've ever read. Sometimes I forget it's not Joss himself showing me around the 'verse. Every new episode, I'm amazed by what you all have done.

I just finished reading "Moment of Silence," and again I tip my hat to you. That one line "What about the children?" was a punch to the gut, and pretty much epitomized what this episode did for story. Everything that was passed over in the movie for the sake of time is on display here in all of its pain and misery and humanity. Not to mention that exchange between Mal and Inara -- "I promise I will haunt you" -- is classic stuff. Excellent job, yet again.

you hit the nail on the head, so to speak.

When I was reading Jayne saying grace, I started tearing up so much that people around me started to wonder what was going on. From reports, this actually happened to someone else.

Also, finding everyone dead was a HUGE emotional impact, probably bigger than in the movie. The writing was so detailed that I could see every moment in my mind's eye, it was that good. Another tip of the hat!

Glad you guys are enjoying! I wish I could claim credit for all of "Moment of Silence", but a lot of it is Joss's own words (from the shooting script and Kitchen Sink versions). "I will haunt you," for example, is his (although Mal's "grant exit" was my addition).

Well, we're still around, although an ep. hasen't come for a while due to real life things getting in the way, 2x19 and 2x20 are in the editing process and will hopefully be released son.

That's right. What he said!

If you haven't tried us out, now is a great time (since you'd have time to catch up before the last four eps of Season Two hit).

This was a really cool idea ! Thanks for the extra peek into a 'verse that is new to me.

Welcome aboard!

If this little corner of the 'Verse is new to you, and you're so inclined, you've got 25 new standard length episodes (well over 1000 pages) ahead of you.
