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! (

Highly recommended for fans of Firefly/Serenity. In addition to containing full scripts of all the episodes, you get interviews with cast and crew, lots of pictures, and little tidbits of information about the making of the show. Makes me want to pull out the DVDs and watch the show all over again! (

Fun! Just plain fun. Humorous, suspenseful, has all the elements of enduring greatness. All ages. Very enjoyable, exciting and laugh-out-loud scripts.
Hoping for a follow up movie to Serenity! (
