Product Description

Review

"George Lucas could learn a thing or two from Whedon" - Newsday"


Product Description

Before the smash hit movie "Serenity" came "Firefly", the cult TV series which started it all and became a DVD phenomenon, selling almost half a million copies. Set 500 years in the future, "Firefly" centres around Mal Reynolds, captain of the ship-for-hire Serenity and its eclectic crew of galactic misfits. When he takes on two passengers, a young doctor and his mysterious, telepathic sister, he gets much more than he bargained for...This official companion is just what the show's fervent fans, the 'Browncoats', have been waiting for, with unseen photos, scripts, behind the scenes secrets, and exclusive input from the cast and crew, including of course creator Joss Whedon.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent historical background to the show, 16 Oct 2006
By Ningjingde ren (Guildford UK) - See all my reviews
The very point of getting this book is to have the scripts (timlondon02 please note) for which there are many reasons apart from re-enacting the episodes -- such as interest, for one, or picking up words you can't catch from the DVDs. Background information about spaceship designs and the verse are available in the RPG book and on the web.

The additional material in this book includes many shiny photos and side-boxes about design, production and the sets, including anecdotes about making the series. There are page-long interviews with the cast describing their early feelings about the show and first impressions of meeting everyone else. Some of the photos are often-reproduced publicity shots and a bit dated now, but after all this book is about the early episodes and the genesis of the show. It's big and glossy and good value for money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shiny!, 8 Sep 2006
By Dawn-Marie Angel "Dawnins" (Wiltshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is full of shiny stuff for a Firefly fan! There are interviews with the cast & crew and photos from episodes and behind the scenes, costume design sketches and loads more. The majority of the book covers the scripts from the first seven episodes - so if you're not interested in pages of dialogue it's probably not for you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 4 Oct 2006
After the lacklustre Serenity movie companion, we were promised a much better attempt but this Firefly book sadly goes in completely the wrong direction. Those looking for more background on the firefly universe, on artwork, spaceship designs, history of the 'verse and of the planets and technology won't find any of that here. What you do get is about 5 pages of original material (mostly costume concept art), and the rest of the book is filler, specifically, its 6 scripts from the TV series, reprinted in double space text, in full (including both parts of the 'Serenity' pilot episode).

Not at all recommended unless you want to act out your own version of the episodes.
