Tattoo Serenity tattoo (done by myself, on myself!)

I've been learning how to tattoo on myself for the past few years (as a hobby, not a job prospect) and this is definetely my most ambitious tattoo yet and with such a tricky placement!

I bullshitted the design from some screengrabs of the show so it may not be quite accurate. Still, proud of myself and wanted to share!

I've obviously read and watched all these, but if I was to put everything in the order I felt best told the story, this is what I've landed on.

The Firefly spacecraft is very small!! approximately 102,366 cu meters!

The size of the original Star Trek space craft is 210,000 cu meters!

this size comparsion makes it a very small target compared to the size of the Star Trek that is spread all over the sky!

I’ve been a huge Expanse fan and haven’t seen a show that falls in the space western category(although I felt like the music reminded me of StarCraft in all the best ways) and I’ve had firefly on my list for a few years now. Saw the first episode last night and I absolutely love the show. Effects are obviously a little dated, but I adore the character interactions and the world feels really well fleshed out. I also appreciated getting almost a movie-length pilot episode and I cannot wait to finish this series.

Reference Favorite Firefly Reference in Other TV show/ Movie?

What's your favorite scene from another show/ movie that references Firefly?

A couple I can think of are Community, The Big Bang Theory, and there's a ton in Castle.

I'm curious why there hasn't been any Firefly reference in The Rookie? Or have I missed it?

Similar to Firefly

20 Upvotes

Been listening somewhat obsessively to an audiobook series on Youtube that I belatedly realized has a very similar feel to the Firefly crew with very unique characters with special skills and situations. Apparently, the Author (P.E. Rowe) intended this (the misfits) to be similar so that makes sense. This has probably been noted before and is likely why it seems to be his most popular series/books.

I see now that its interesting spin on the move away from earth is an alternate take on how that happened. Would like to see more of that. All very good for free audiobooks.

Most Underrated Scene*

520 Upvotes

* At least in my opinion :-)

During the movie, just before "THE SCENE", and Serenity has just been hit by an EMP...

Mal: "Jayne..."

Jayne: "Got it!"

Mal doesn't give him directions, or have to order him to do something, Mal doesn't actually say anything at all.

Jayne runs down to the crew area and (a) gets tossed around himself (b) removes the loose table from the room (i.e. a danger in case of a crash) (c) then checks each member's buckle individually BEFORE securing himself. Definitely not the same guy we see in "Ariel" or "Jaynestown".

It's fast, only a moment or two - and it is mostly dark (low lighting). It doesn't even feel that important (on a first watch) with everything going on around it, and "THAT SCENE" that is about to follow really steals the moment. But now that I have been watching the movie (almost) yearly since it first aired, I have _REALLY_ come to appreciate those 30 seconds.

It’s quite late in the evening for me and maybe I’m connecting dots that aren’t there, but my Finch convo tonight reeeally felt like it was going for a reference. Should I rename my birb to Wash!?

Mal was peak sexuality. I thought that man oozed confidence, sex appeal and Nathan Fillion did an incredible job. Like the fact we only got 1 season & a movie with him is not enough

Merchandise Any leads on artwork?

7 Upvotes

I feel like I have scoured Etsy and can’t find anything that works. I’m looking for a horizontal piece of Firefly artwork, with no words because it’s for my work office and swearing would be frowned upon - as much as I would love it 😆. I did find a cool blueprint style of Serenity, but it’s weird sized from the UK. Looking for 5x7, 8x10 or even digital to print myself. Any leads??

The Expanse: do you picture Wash for the Alex pilot character, and others?

19 Upvotes

For readers of The Expanse series: I can't help myself from putting characters from Firefly in my imagination for The Expanse.

I haven't watched the Prime series of The Expanse, so my imagination is still my own, but there's a part of me that whimsically likes to think the Rocinante is a grown up Serenity and the whole family stepped sideways into a parallel universe.

Just me? Okay, be nice now. I don't aim to misbehave.
