While the characters are discussing dying, Troy says that he and Abed have a pact that if one of them dies, the other will make it look like it was a suicide caused by the unjust cancellation of FIREFLY.

He then looks at Abed and says something like "We're gonna get that show back on the air, buddy!"

Awesome reference of my favorite TV show of all time on one of my favorite comedies of all time.

I literally cheered while watching that part. Maybe the reference will lead a few more people into the greatness that is Firefly...maybe it will lead the masses and change the course of history. I doubt the latter, but I will never give up hope.

Shiny!

OMG best pact ever. We need get some browncoat pact documents written up so everyone can get in on this.

My wife and I flipped out when we saw that, and double flipped when Levar Burton showed up. Troy is the best. "Set phasers to love me!"

Just watched it tonight on the DVR. Had to rewind and watch that part over a couple times, with a huge grin on my face.

Not sure if Firefly references are becoming a meme in Hollywood among the writers, but they DO seem to show up more and more. "Bones", "Big Bang Theory", "Community", and others have all brought it up, and of course our very own Cap'n strapped on the holster and donned the brown coat for a Halloween episode of Castle.

Gotta love the Firefly love!

Awesome shout out indeed. I could not get over it, as it was quite a pleasant surprise that, on a show that is quickly becoming my fav comedy, I would hear the sweet music that is Firefly mentioned on TV by anyone other than Nathan. Community has consistently churned out episode after episode of the best comedy that has gotten little-to-no recognition from the Emmys or Golden Globes. It is an underdog hit, much like our Firefly. I'm gonna go watch it again, SO HAPPY!

We're gonna get it back on the air, buddy
