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.

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.

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.

With the exception of what look like some screen grabs from the DVD, the quality of the photos, sketches, and writing in this book is very good. The paper is glossy and shiny. I particularly like the atmospheric but rather casual way some of the scenes are described in the scripts.

Funny and great stories. Acting is to standard and I've watched it about 3 times all through since I bought it... guess I must like it.

If you love firefly you will love this.
I am obsessed, even 10 years since it aired on tv I love it. I regularly stick the boxset on whilst sewing. I am so sad it was only 1 season and a movie, but what a season. Firefly is something you either love or hate and those who love can not be without.
I decided to buy this and volume 2 because I had recently watched again and wanted to make Zoe's vest for a costume party.
This volume is excellent. It provides insight to the making and production of the series as well as every script written down. It is more than I expected!
thank you Joss for the wonderful "verse" you gave us.

I love this series, and it was sadly cut short by some over paid *+^*. Watch the 13 episodes before watching the movie. It works better in that order. The movie seems to be a wrap up of the series, answering all the questions that have arisen through the series.
