EPISODE 2x17: “TESTAMENT”
Written by Matt Engstrom
Directed by Thomas Cohn and DC Washington
Art by Mary McKay-Eaton
“Book’s Prayer” culled from the “SERENITY” movie script by Joss Whedon

Shepherd Book confesses.

*****

We're back with our newest episode, which has been months--maybe years--in the making.

Almost since the beginning of this project, Matt Engstrom has been working on an episode in which we learn about Shepherd Book's past. We knew early on that we'd have to tread a fine line between letting revealing information to the audience and to the crew, and Matt hit on the idea of... well, I won't spoil it. I'll let you read it for yourself.

As with every episode, we strive to remain faithful to the continuity of both the Original Series and our Virtual Series, while at the same time throwing enough curveballs to keep the audience surprised (but not so many that they throw their hands up in the air in disbelief).

Staff members of our project have periodically been asked if we have access to any unproduced material from Joss Whedon and his crew, or if we've had direct contact with them to perpetuate the continuity. The joke answer is that, as head writer, I have Joss chained up in the cupboard. Or maybe it's not a joke (I mean, really, we haven't seen him much recently, have we?). I can tell you this, though: He definitely wasn't in my cupboard while this episode was being written... but folks might want to ask Matt a few questions.

Anyway, enough of my prattling on. There's no way I can do this episode justice in babbling about it, so just stop reading what I'm writing and go check out the episode already!

Keep flying!

PS: Oh, yeah: All this AND more excellent art from Maer!

I've been trying to respond to the call for graphics, but my account is still "inactive" on the forums whilst I wait for admin approval.

Anyone I should email directly on that?

Dug,

I know we're a little behind with activating accounts (we have to have a delay to avoid spambots and such), but if you shoot me a direct message (at gwek@optonline.net), I'll make sure you're in touch with the right people.

A big round of applause for "Testament"!!! This is the most Firefly-esque episode to date and quite possibly the best fanfic I've ever read. Tell Joss that he owes you guys a big trunk of cash .....

Kudos to your writers. This episode (Testament) redefines and sets the standard for Fanfic. By far, the best backstory I've ever read, on any board. It is simply ...Brilliant!

I also agree. Absolutely brilliant.

A work of art.

Out of pure curiosity: (pg. 14) "It orbits the gas giant Surga, and combined with its rotation, one hemisphere never sees the sun."

Is that possible?

Don't make faces.

Yep. I'm pretty sure it is. It wouldn't technically be half the planet, but something like a quarter-slice, I think.
