I'm so torn!!! I LOVED this movie, it was a wonderful ending to the series, but I NEED MORE!!!!!!!!

Also, I need to go buy myself a plastic dinosaur for my desk now =( I am very upset!

Just a heads up that videos may be posted a bit sporadically because my computer hates me and keeps crashing when I try to export anything (this took me 2 days of troubleshooting to get exported lol) so just know that I am doing my best and will be posting daily again as soon as I can!

After watching your Patriot reaction, I’m a little scared for your heart 💔 The execs that canceled Firefly after one season, remain and will always be idiots!

bullettbot

Im 30 mins in and i had to check my audio cos you were so into it

bullettbot

It was meant as a positive BTW, reaction from you expressions said enough

YES!!! I've eagerly been waiting for this. I can't wait to finish up this journey once again. I know what you mean about needing more. That's pretty much the main reason I rewatch this show and movie a few times each year. It's just too good. P.S. Good luck with the PC troubles. They aim to misbehave sometimes too I guess.

So... secrets. Most of the characters had them, but only some were revealed by the series & movie. Some of the unrevealed ones have been confirmed by the creator, writers, and/or actors. Others can be speculated on. 1. River: We got almost all of her secret in the movie. The only part missing was a plot change to make the program that created her only a government project instead of a mix of government and private corporation. In the original plan, the program that made River was to have been run by a corporation called Blue Sun. The cans of food that she ripped the labels off were made by Blue Sun. When she sliced Jayne's chest with a knife, he was wearing a Blue Sun shirt. River was unconsciously lashing out at the organization that tortured her. The Hands of Blue guys were part of Blue Sun. 2. Book: There's a different canon version of his backstory that occurs in the comics, but many of us feel that the original plan was that of the Operative. We think Book was an Operative in his past life before he had his own crisis of faith. When Ron Glass told them he wouldn't be available if the movie miraculously got a 2nd season greenlit, we think they decided to kill the character and use the backstory they planned for him to create the film's antagonist. In our opinion, the story in the comic is a new version because the original one was already used. 3. Inara: This one's confirmed by Morena Baccarin(and at least one follow-up novel). Inara was dying during the entire series(though not the movie). Just before Inara joined the crew of Serenity, she was diagnosed with a terminal, degenerative disease. It's why she suddenly left the core planets(like Nandi told Mal), why she had the syringe in the pilot episode when the Reavers were threatening(she planned to use it when the disease got too bad), why there were several references to exactly when she joined the crew, and why they carefully told us Companions have to have a thorough medical exam once a year. And it's why she wouldn't let herself to get too close to Mal, and why she decided to leave the crew in ep 13(she was getting too close to all of them and feared they would hurt too much if she stayed, they grew closer, and she eventually died). We don't know what the plan was for her in the future, or if there even was one. Maybe they would have found a cure in River's brain, maybe Simon would have figured something out, maybe she wasn't really sick and it was actually a plot by a rival, maybe she would have really died from it, maybe she would have been killed some other way, or maybe something else entirely. 4. Simon: He would have eventually betrayed River in a moment of weakness(prob in a season finale). They laid the groundwork very subtly, but it's there. There are at least two times where River says something that we think comes from her, but it's actually her reading Simon's mind. Deep, deep down in a place he wouldn't be able to admit to himself, Simon resented River for "ruining" his life. In a moment of weakness, he would've given into that weakness(season finale) only to immediately regret it and try to fix it(the following season premier). 5. Jayne: I think we would have found out the real reason he was so money-focused was because he was trying to save enough to buy his family out of servitude and set them up somewhere. During rewatches, you might notice that there are a lot of references to slavery and indentured servitude in the series. I think that was to prep us for the reveal of Jayne's backstory. 6. Mal: I heard a rumor way back that Mal was actually planned to come from an extremely rich and powerful Alliance family(that he hated). His mother might have owned a cattle ranch, but his father's side was the wealthy family. It could explain a few things from the series, but it's not enough for me to be fully confident in. But I like the idea enough to repeat it. 7. Zoe, Wash, Kaylee: If they had secrets, I don't know them. Maybe the writers didn't get around to them, hoping to do that in future seasons. Some of these are confirmed fact(River, Inara), some are not completely confirmed but solid(Book, Simon), and some are not confirmed but interesting possibilities(Jayne, Mal). In any case, I hope people find them interesting. And sorry for the length. ;)

So iv finished watching your reaction and I feel like you took it very seriously compared to the other reactions iv seen. Maybe I'm being too Parasocial but I felt like you hated watching this because you didn't want it to end and I think alot of people will agree with that. Loved watching you react to this BTW and if I'm correct about how you feel its a crime this didn't have a much more stories told before we even tried to tie up this story.

Bubba Fett

One of my favorite parts of this is Jayne, up till now and even in the beginning he's always been unapologetically "whats in it for me" but no prodding, barely even asking he was the first to volunteer. I think it points out to how strong the bromance he and Sheppard were forming towards the end of the show. One funny thing about rewatching the show, all of rivers seemingly incoherent ramblings make perfect sense. Give it some time and go back, see all the little details you missed. Even follow another reactor somwtime for the full experience of watching someone see it for themselves.

Michael Kemmet

Book's and Wash's deaths: They were as much about behind the scenes things than anything. When the DVD box set sales greatly exceeded studio expectations(because DVD box sets were new and the studio used VHS box set sales for comparison), the studio greenlit the movie. There was also a very, very slight chance that a second season might be greenlit if the movie did very well. But Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk already had commitments for other projects. Since they wouldn't be able to be in any season 2, Joss Whedon and the other writers decided to use their deaths to up the stakes and make the viewer believe that any or all of them could also die.

Jonathan Schmidt

They made some graphic novels to tie up any remaining loose threads. They did make "A Shepard's Tale", it was very good learning his background.

In a crew reunion round table special TV event (which I can't find anywhere anymore), the cast sat around a table with one of the head writers (Joss wasn't present, but stories were told by the writer). Joss had revealed to him that the black syringe contained a black fluid that companions could take if they suspected an upcoming SA event. The assaulter(s) would each die a horrible death... (foreshadowed by Inara preparing hers in the first episode) The writer said that Joss was excited to eventually tell (probably the last) story about Mal & Inara, that her ship was overtaken by reavers. Mal would get there too late, but find that all the reavers were dead... with all the implications that comes with THAT. Inara was still alive, battered and bloody, and Mal would "treat her like a lady" (i.e. royalty). Alan Tudyk's first reaction was, appropriately, "THAT is.... DARRRKKK." There wasn't much to say after that, so they kind of just sat there for a moment in stunned silence and then moved on. But the greatest impression the writer had was about how Joss intended to tell challenging stories that people hadn't told before.

Johnny Bullis

It is a shame Joss never got to make more.. we were all lucky to get this movie .. he said he wanted to finish the story. Im surprised you were shocked at any major deaths.. that always happens in movies with stakes like this.

Preaching to the Horse's Mouth

It doesn't matter how many times I've seen this movie, that intro still hits every time. Just top notch stuff. The Operative is such a great villain/character, and portrayed wonderfully. Props to that dude as an actor.

Michael Kemmet

It's called 'Firefly 10th Anniversary: Browncoats Unite'(I found it on vimeo) and the part you're talking about starts around the 32 minute mark. Tim Minear(executive producer) recounts the story as part of a pitch Joss made to him when Joss was recruiting Tim to the show. So the magic syringe idea came from a time very, very early in the show's development. This is only my opinion(though I'd love to run into Whedon someday and ask him if I'm correct at all), but I suspect the meaning of the syringe changed as they started developing the characters more. I'd be willing to wager a small amount of money that the purpose of the syringe became a "gentle end" for Inara after they decided to have her be terminally ill. It just fits in so well with all the other breadcrumbs. I think it's a far more elegant use of the hint. But I fully admit I might be wrong. (Besides, I think there's absolutely no way the censors in the early 00s would have ever let the original scene concept on network TV. And by censors, I mean FOX's standards and practices office. The idea of implied mass grape would have lasted about 0.2 seconds before it was rejected with a note attached saying something like "are you f***ing nuts!?!".)

The assassin is Chiwetel Ejiofor whom you know from The Martian. He’s a wonderful actor. One of my favorites with him is a film called Redbelt about a struggling Jujitsu instructor. I think you would enjoy it. Yes, David Krumholtz (Mr. Universe) is from Numbers. I’m sure you looked these up in your outro. I’m writing this mid reaction lol Loving it so far

I've always felt that "Serenity" was a great way to bring the show to it's conclusion. I would have preferred more seasons, but in absence of that I thought Joss did a pretty good job with the story. He definitely left some story lines ambiguous but overall it was a satisfying ending. Incidentally, Whedon and the cast got together for a reunion about ten years later, to commemorate the show. During which he said that if he could have changed anything about the ending, it would have been the decision to kill off Wash.

Now that you have finished this you should absolutely get 1999's Galaxy Quest on your watch list. It is a comedy spoof of the Star Trek Genre - Specifically the tones and theme of the original series w/ Wm. Shatner. It is funny as heck but was done in a respectful and actually a loving manner. When it first came out Patrick Stewart ( Capt Picard from TNG) was quite reticent about it. As a classically trained Shakesperean actor he has always been very guarded about anything that might be disrespectful to Star Trek or its fans in any way. Jonathan Frakes ( Riker ) conviced him to go see it and he loved it and was cheering the loudest of anyone in the theatre at the end. These were his own words. While we're on the Sci-Fi Topics you mentioned that your main exposure was to Star Trek Voyager and you were thinking about watching some of the movies. If you want to watch The Wrath Of Khan you could watch the first season episode Space Seed. It would tell you all you need to know as the original episodes had no story arcs or continuing timelines and each episode stood completely on its own. I would also rcommend you check out The Next Generation episodes The Best of Both Worlds ( 2 Parter ) as it plays into some of the TNG Movies going forward. And finally you should watch the TNG episode 'The Inner Light'. This is considered by many people to be the single finest episode of Star Trek ever made across all the series and movies. In it, Patrick Strewart delivers an acting master class that will take your breath away. The impact of this episode was so profound that a physical prop used by Picard In the episode recently sold at auction for $ 190,000. I think it would be a high point if you reacted to just this single episode on the channel. This story stands on its own and you dont have to prep for it by watching anything else. Keep up the great work!

Here it is :D

I love how you spotted Jayne doing the safety checks, many seem to miss it or at least dont comment on it, but it is my fav moment for jayne in the entire series/movie - and will do in place of his proper redemption arc. Clearly they have a plan for such a scenario like a crash landing, and Mal says "everybody strap into something. Jayne?" and he is on it, right away, putting other peoples lives above his own to check that everyone is strapped in properly. No money in it, no profit - part of the crew and he is the guy who can do the job best with being thrown around like that in a crash situation. Anyway, i just love that little moment, because that life or death really is the proper test of character, and does he only think of himself or not?

MertzRocks

I second watching Space Seed before ST2 The Wrath of Khan, watching Best of Both Worlds before Generations and First Contact, and also The Inner Light just on its own. There are a few other original series eps I'd love you to react to, but I'll save any mentions until you announce that you're going down the Star Trek rabbit-hole... 😘💕 🤘😎🎸

Jason Irwin

I know I'm late to the party, but I haven't seen this mentioned much and I don't see it here either. Regarding the creation of Reavers, I feel Serenity does a great job retconning/expanding on what we learned in Ep3: Bushwacked. In Ep3, we find a survivor turning into a Reaver and Mal believes it's because he went crazy watching the horrors the Reavers committed. I believe the Reavers expose people to the chemical that created them and spare those that react to it like they do. I believe they do this in order to expand, or at least sustain their numbers.

neil katz

You need to watch The Expanse, I think you will really enjoy it, love to watch your reaction to it.

Joshua Gideon

If you enjoyed the series and the movie and are interested in other Joss Whedon shows I'd strongly recommend both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Though I would strongly strongly and I can't emphasis this enough that you ,at least for Buffy, locate a streaming service that has access to the SD version of the series or find the DVDs as whoever did the HD remastering of the series completely butchered it. Many of the the members of the crew of the series have said that they were not impressed with how the HD version of Buffy in particularly was handled.

Jimmy Waterman

anyone else have issues with the patreon video randomly pausing itself?

Leroy Y

I didn't see anyone mention it, and by now I'm sure you're aware... but in case you're not - at Awesome Con in DC a few months ago, the cast announced an animated series set between the show and the movie. With everyone returning to do the voices, except for Ron Glass (Shepard), who sadly passed away a few years back.
