Jane Espenson, Glenn Yeffeth : Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. varying quality but mostly good "companion" to the Firefly 'verseBy Terrell Millerthis is an anthology of essays by sf writers, Jewel Staite (the actress who played Kaylee) and academics. Most of it is very enjoyable and gives you a much broader picture of the series and the exacting care taken to put that series onscreen.A couple of the essays were a little too dry-academese for my taste, and since the essays were written before the Serenity film was released, some of the speculation on the 'verse's backstory is just plain wrong. A couple times in Staite's piece you can almost hear her trying not to give any spoilers for the movie.But still well worth reading if you're one of those fans who love the show and were bummed when it was cancelled so early.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Some good, some better, some... not so good.By L. ParkerThe cancellation of Firefly left many questions unanswered, and many theories on character back-story and motivation are expounded upon in this collection. The essays, edited by series writer and long-time Joss Whedon co-conspirator Jane Espenson, were all written in the period of time between the end of the series and the release of Serenity, which gives the book a quaintly episodic feel in an I-know-something-you-don't-know sort of way.The essays themselves are something of a mixed bag - if you're a fan of the show, at least one of them is pretty much guaranteed to piss you off. But fans will appreciate contributions from other long-time Whedon co-conspirator Marti Noxon, and a sweetly nostalgic accounting of favorite moments from actress Jewel Staite.19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. Uneven, but valuable collectionBy B. R. TownsendI have to agree with the reviewer who commented that this collection was a mish-mash. It falls uncomfortably between the scholarly and the fan-oriented. But I found much worthwhile and enjoyable writing alongside less-useful commentary. If we set aside papers where the theory overwhelms the material such as in "Whores and Goddesses" and ones that are rather pointless such as "Firefly vs. The Tick" and not hugely funny satires such as "Mirror/Mirror" and "The Rise and Fall (and Rise) of Firefly" we have a slim volume including reference materials on the Mandarin used in the series, well-argued commentary on the mixing of genres ("Just Shove Him in the Engine, or The Role of Chivalry in Firefly") and some very insightful commentary on the characters ("More Than a Marriage of Convenience"), on the culture ("Asian Objects in Space") and the setting ("Star Truck").So, an indispensable, though not entirely satisfactory, collection. Firefly's early demise left fans with a deep sense of loss and plenty of unanswered questions. From what was wrong with the pilot to what was right with the Reavers, from the use of Chinese to how correspondence between Joss and network executives might have gone, from a philosopher's perspective on "Objects in Space" to a sex therapist's analysis of Inara, Finding Serenity is filled with writing as exciting, funny, and enthralling as the show itself.
