Ellie Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ok, if I want to watch Firefly, do I need to watch Serenity first? At all? or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Someone will be more sure about this than I am....but I believe there's an episode called Serenity that's the pilot. You should watch that first. Then there's a movie called Serenity that comes at the end. Don't watch that first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatMomof3 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Serenity is the conclusion to the series Firefly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 :iagree: Exactly! Watch the movie last. That's imperative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Serenity is the name of the movie that was made as a sequel to the tv series, Firefly. You MUST watch all the episodes of Firefly first and then you can watch the movie, Serenity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tntgoodwin Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I watched Serenity first, but I wish I hadn't. On a side note, I got into a Twitter discussion about The PATRIOT Act with the guy that plays Jayne, a couple days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyinND Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm part way through the first episode of firefly. The whole reason I wanted to start watching is because I watch Castle & I <3 Nathan Fillion!!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tntgoodwin Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Don't forget Toy Story! I also love Dr. Horrible, and we enjoy Castle. One day, I had 2 random people say I looked like Nathan Fillion...that was strange. I thought they were messing with me, but not so. He is pro-Patriot Act. He seems to be supportive of the firearms amendment that Senator Paul tried attaching though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 ooh Dr Horrible is that Nathan Fillian, too?? He is Dr. Horrible's nemesis, Captain Hammer :D He is pro-Patriot Act. :crying: Oh well. I still love him even if he doesn't agree with me politically. :lol: Dude. I just typed "she" talking about the guy who plays Jayne.

Mrs Mungo Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Word of warning-you need to pre-watch episodes before viewing with kids. A lot of them are fine for kids, but some (especially toward the end of the series) are not. Only my eldest has seen the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allearia Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 My favorite! My ds9 has heard us talk about it and really wants to see it but sadly we decided we should wait a bit before letting him watch. I hate graphic novels but I think I am going to buy the ones available now (for me, not ds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS Mom in NC Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Firefly does a great job of developing the characters over time making them far more dimensional than Serenity has time to do. The whole tone of the series is very different than the movie. I say watch the series first. There are mature themes-preview things if you are considering letting the kids watch.

I've shown them Shindig but that's it. (It's a party!) And part of Jaynesville, but not the ending. Teenagers, sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntgoodwin Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 At what age are kids able to understand Inara's profession? I mean, it's Biblical, but I don't know when that should be introduced, especially how it is viewed as a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire series relates somewhat to the "wild west". Though Inara can be related a little more towards a geisha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceremonies, rituals, respect, and Inara formerly being on track to be "House priestess"--so different. It's a really interesting presentation.

You missed it because Fox is *unprintable,* didn't advertise it well (at all from what I hear), and played episodes at differing times, out of order, so even people who found it & liked it couldn't watch it regularly on-air. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Education Explorers Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 It just means you need to watch it at least three times over like *cough* some of us obsessive people, lol. Oh I so agree! We got the series on DVD several years ago. We watched them with giddy anticipation and loved it. My husband and I were so disappointed when we finished all the episodes. We just wanted more! (Big Sigh!) We enjoy watching them over and over. It will be along time though before we let our kids watch. They are 7 and 10. Quite a bit too mature for them right now. I watch Castle because I am charmed by Nathan Fillion's sense of humor. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
