Loading... Firefly: The Official Companion, Volume Oneby Joss Whedon
Substance: Despite the inanity of the milieu (25th century cowboys-in-space with complete gravity in a space ship run by 1 engineer and 1 pilot, but still using handguns and suspenders), the holes in the individual plots (some are worse than others), and the stereotypical story-lines, the series is over-all a satisfying experience. The characters are interesting, diverse, and fun. Style: Gets a little too artsy at times, or else they didn't pay the cameraman that week. Rating: Moderate skin display, sexual situations, some language. (One of the couples is actually married.) This slick-looking volume contains the uncut shooting scripts for six episodes interspersed with interviews, short articles on the props and costuming, and lots of pretty pictures. The scripts turned out to be a lot of fun to read, not just because the episodes themselves are fun, but also because the scripts, particularly Joss Whedon's, feature some entertainingly colorful descriptions. Recommended for Firefly fans. Although I've only watched a once through of the "Firefly" series on DVD a couple years ago, I did enjoy the series. This is a very fun companion guide to this series with all sorts of pictures, insightful first impressions from the actors about their characters and little tidbits of information, along with the scripts, for a few of their most memorible episodes. If you're a fan of this regretably short-lived series I'd highly recommend this! Outstanding record of the first half of the TV show Firefly. no reviews | add a review Is contained in

When he takes on two passengers, a young doctor and his mysterious, telepathic sister, he gets much more than he bargained for...This official companion is just what the show's fervent fans, the 'Browncoats', have been waiting for, with unseen photos, scripts, behind the scenes secrets, and exclusive input from the cast and crew, including of course creator Joss Whedon.Film and television.… (more)
