(Recorded on June 9th, 2024) We’re officially back and kicking off our second season with Firefly’s pilot episode, ‘Serenity’ (not to be confused with the movie ‘Serenity,’ which we were close to doing). There’s a lot going on in this too long 90 minute episode. We meet the crew of the firefly ship Serenity with little to no backstory causing our wikipedia senses to tingle. Mal is cosplaying as Han Solo, Zoe still calls him ‘Sir’ (in front of her husband and pilot of the ship, Wash), Kaylee, our ‘is she a child or is she an adult’ engineer, and of course Jayne someone you’d rather hurl into space than travel in space with. They pick up a few passengers in Persephone, a preacher, a guy with a not at all suspicious crate, and Ramon from Seinfeld. We get an awkward dinner, a ‘what’s in the box?’ moment, a shoot-out in the space equivalent of Arizona, and Reavers (they’re super bad, okay?). This episode is jam-packed but still makes us go, how did we get here?
Also,George and Meaghan discuss some highlights of Adam Baldwin’s film career; George is here for the world building; Meaghan is worried that Firefly fans will come after her if she doesn’t like the show; and we delve into the accusations portion of Joss Whedon’s wikipedia. (Original network air date December 20, 2002)
