Finding Serenity - Wikipedia

It has some really interesting reflections on the characters especially the one on Book , an exploration of the foundations for science fiction that were laid down by pulp magazines and corny American westerns, and kind of a sad essay plugging a Firefly game that has seemed to collapse completely. Dec 08, Sandy rated it it was ok. This book was all over the place. A few of the essays were entertaining. But several of them were just a painful slog to get through. I felt like an English lit teacher, having to read through several kids' term papers. Overall, there was a disappointing lack of humor in the essays, considering how funny Firefly is and, to a lesser extent, Serenity, too. I'm giving it just two stars, for "Not That Shiny" May 30, Stephen rated it really liked it. If you are a Browncoat, you will love this book. There are a couple of clunkers that veer into academia style but if there is one particular thing about the Whedonverse at least the Whedonverse before he went all Marvel it is that there seems to be endless room for analysis, speculation and odes to the distinct and deep characters who inhabit the various galaxies therein. Dec 19, Kevin rated it liked it. Because one collection of essays about a TV show canceled after half a season is not enough. There are some interesting takes in this collection. Dec 01, Cari rated it liked it Shelves: , movies , essays. Confession: I am an unabashed, flailing Firefly fangirl. I quote both the series and the movie on a regular basis—at length. I preemptively cry while watching the movie as it approaches that scene you all know the one of which I speak , and it takes all my willpower not to bawl like a baby when it actually happens. For me, there were three standouts. I, Malcolm , written by our dear Nathan Fillion, whose perspective on the show from the inside is priceless and whose sense of humor shines through excellently in his essay. To each their own. Earlier I said there were bad essays within these pages. In retrospect, that was a lie. The writing in all of these was of high quality, and I found most to be quite engaging. Curse Your Sudden but Inevitable Betrayal by Lani Diane Rich was well-written, amusing, and shared many of my feelings regarding the fate of poor, loveable Wash. On the other hand, she writes from a very personal perspective the entire focus is on her and her husband as they maneuvered through their Whedon addictive , and in a book full of detailed, sci-fi geek analysis, it seemed very out of place. Overall, Serenity Found is a worthwhile read. Jul 22, Chris Collins rated it really liked it. I don't geek out on television shows or movies to the point that I read essays about them. This is the exception. For other folks, it was a feminist piece. While to others, it was, well, let's just say, I don't share their filters, so I didn't, for example, see the nameless Opera I don't geek out on television shows or movies to the point that I read essays about them. While to others, it was, well, let's just say, I don't share their filters, so I didn't, for example, see the nameless Operative in Serenity as a neo-con Christian zealot. You can be a "believer" and not be a theist. Clearly, this guy was that "we can make Heaven on Earth" type of the early American Progressive movement. That's what Miranda was, after all. A mostly well-intentioned, yet wholly wrong, central government trying to perfect humanity. Still, it's interesting to see what other people took away from a mutual interest. Even if those folks are degrees out of phase with yourself. Landi Diane Rich's piece was touching. Maggie Burns' piece was interesting. Feminist characters aren't men who pee sitting down or are unrelatable uber-beings, who knew? Clearly, not most screenwriters. Bruce Bethke's and Orson Scott Card's pieces were illuminating. I had no idea about the history of Bat Durston or that Star Wars was so far behind the curve when compared to written sci-fi at the time. I mean, sure, I knew it was twelve pounds of derivative in a six pound bag, but still. Evelyn Vaughn's piece was informative. The post-Civil War west setting was obvious in the show, but it was an interesting examination. And, of course, the best essay was Nathan Fillion's and the best bit in the book is at the end of his essay. All in all, a decent read. Well worth the time if you're a fan of Firefly and Serenity. If you're not Feb 07, Ryan Mishap rated it it was ok Shelves: anthology. One of the things about punk rock that I like the best is the general belief that being "fans" isn't enough, or even the antithesis of how one should be punk or live in the world. Beyond just DIY, the anti-fan ideology tells us we are participants. Given this background, I refuse to let people call my zine a "fanzine" or to reduce myself to a punk rock "fan" as so many columnists for the big punk mags seem to wind up as. I am a fan, however, of Firefly, probably the best TV show ever created One of the things about punk rock that I like the best is the general belief that being "fans" isn't enough, or even the antithesis of how one should be punk or live in the world. I am a fan, however, of Firefly, probably the best TV show ever created. I know, you may think that isn't saying much, but it was really good story telling--and that is what I care about the most, regardless of format. At any rate, I can't get enough, so Ia ctually read this fan essay collection. Some cover philosophies on the show, ideas about freedom, the lack of identifiable people of Asian descent though supposedly the future was an amalgation of the U. So, they aren't all fawning, and it was surprising to see how people viewed the stories and characters--in two instances at least, different authors viewed characters completely opposite from each other. The only reason to get this, however--because it isn't really worth reading unless you are obssessed with the show--is for the essay where the author juxtaposes Star Trek Enterprise with Firefly and for the fictional letters sent from a Fox executivve to show creator Joss Whedon. Those are gold. View all 3 comments. I, Malcolm :: Nathan Fillion 0 I, Malcolm :: Nathan Fillion Freedom in an Unfree World :: P. Gardner Goldsmith The Good Book :: Eric Greene Mutant Enemy U :: Loni Peristere Mar 29, Lani rated it liked it Shelves: non-fiction , kindle. I always want these 'essays on pop culture' books to read like intelligent conversations you have on the couch with your friend after drinking and watching an episode or two. Instead they often lean more towards the academically dry and pompous. I felt like this book struck a better balance than others I've read, with a few exceptions. I learned things about the series, and realized just how smart it sometimes was. I liked the analysis of scifi tropes found in Firefly, complete with an explanation for the history of classic scifi versus the Space Western. Overall, reading the book made me want to rewatch the series, so I suppose it was a win. Jun 04, Myra Symons rated it it was amazing. I love Serenity and the firefly series. I got into it because of my nieces encouragement. I was pleasantly surprised at how deep the analysis of the series and the movie was. Most of my reading is of books of a spiritual nature, I was really surprised at how deep it all was. I tend to think of secular stuff as secular but there is a lot of spirit to Serenity. I am going to really enjoy our annual browncoat meeting where we screen Serenity because I know more where to look for the technical stuff I love Serenity and the firefly series. I am going to really enjoy our annual browncoat meeting where we screen Serenity because I know more where to look for the technical stuff, that I never noticed before. I expected to like the book and pass it on to my lovely niece, but I did not expect the idea of parting with the book to be so very painful. I would recommend this to any fan of the firefly series and the Serenity movie. It will definitely expand your understanding of the verse. Now I am probably going to need to obtain at least 2 CDs. Jul 13, Zoe Zuniga marked it as to-read. I am kicking myself for having missed them at the comic con lecture series. I am always impressed with great visuals. The extras on the CD show how the space ship set is one continuous set for each of the two levels. The fusion between Chinese and American culture is delightful and the costumes, Mandarin swear words, cowboy boot i have watched the series twice of course and am a bonified groupie. The fusion between Chinese and American culture is delightful and the costumes, Mandarin swear words, cowboy boots space ships and horseback riding all fit together nicely. Jan 11, Sarah rated it really liked it Shelves: nonfiction. This collection of eighteen essays about the sadly-truncated Firefly franchise has a breadth that testifies to the extraordinary range and vision of that series. Feminism, libertarianism, religion, and the surprisingly lengthy history of the space western all find their places. This article does not cite any sources.
