Aug 11, Emily Ross rated it liked it Shelves: audiobooksreviewedreading-challengetv-tie-in. I liked this audiobook, and I preferred it to the previous Finding Serenity. However, it was a bit of a drag, and it felt like at least half of the essays had nothing to do with Firefly or Serenity. Like, I purchased this audiobook to listen to a book about Serenity, not Stargate or Buffy or Battlestar Galactica or Criminal Minds, even if I like half of those programmes. It was a bit of a letdown. May 30, Richard Derus rated Serenity Found: More Unauthorized Essays on Joss Whedons Firefly Universe really liked it. The Book Report: Eighteen more essays about the moral, political, and ethical underpinnings, implications, and effects of the late, lamented "Firefly" TV series. My Review: Last collection had yummy-yummy Jewel Staite, aka Kaylee, writing about her favorite things in each episode; this collection has the slurpsome Nathan Fillion reflecting on being the Captain! For that alone, it's worth the price of admission! But wait! There's more! Loni Peristere also a beauteous hunk of man-flesh, maybe Joss The Book Report: Eighteen more essays about the moral, political, and ethical underpinnings, implications, and effects of the late, lamented "Firefly" TV series. Loni Peristere also a beauteous hunk of man-flesh, maybe Joss is a switch-hitter? All the men in the 'verse are so toothsome! Then one Geoff Klock pulls apart and analyzes the brilliant, brilliant episode "Out of Gas", in search of storytelling genius and its telltale markers; there are many, and they are important for anyone interested in storytelling craft to study in depth. This essay makes that process almost easy, which is in itself a feat of storytelling. Read the essay, I ain't explainin' that one. Too long, and also it pisses me the hell off. It's poignant, it's well crafted, and it's quite nicely argued. The only essay that's a real flop is "The Virtual 'Verse", which was a waaay premature ad for the dead-in-the-water MMORPG of "Firefly" that was, at that time, being touted as forthcoming. Well, it Serenity Found: More Unauthorized Essays on Joss Whedons Firefly Universe forthcame, and the essay looks like what it was: Blatant product placement. Ten pages of keen observation on the nature of political propaganda masquerading as science. Again, if all you read is this one essay, your purchase price will be fully amortized. The subject is ever-more important, and this essay will sensitize you to the issue like never before. Just like "Firefly" would have, had it survived intact to this good day. Next best thing is buying BenBella Books's essay collections. And, of course, reading them with the starved passion of a jilted lover. Or is it just me? May 12, Lorraine rated it it was amazing. Again, another entertaining and thought provoking read. A look at faith, at River Tam and the Weaponized Women of Whedonverse, how feminism and comedy thrive in Whedonverse and how the Captain and the Doctor are co-heroes. All of this and more topped off by I Malcolm: a look at our dear Captain Tightpants by none other than Nathan Fillion. Both of these books are edited by master storyteller Jane Espenson Buffy, Battlestar Galactica, Dollhouse, Gilmore Girls, Ellen, Warehouse 13, and of course Again, another entertaining and thought provoking read. Look, I love Firefly. Serenity Found : Jane Espenson : The Book Report: Eighteen more essays about the moral, political, and ethical underpinnings, implications, and effects of the Serenity Found: More Unauthorized Essays on Joss Whedons Firefly Universe, lamented "Firefly" TV series.
