Finding Serenity
11 July 2008
I’m still obsessed with Firefly. I recently re-watched the series and then I read Finding Serenity: Anti-Heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon’s Firefly. It’s a collection of essays about the show. The book was edited by Jane Espenson, who was a writer on Buffy, Angel, and Firefly and is now a writer on Battlestar Galactica. Some of the essay were interesting. Some were boring and I couldn’t wait to get through. I could see the point that some of the authors were trying to make. Some I think were seeing things that aren’t even there. At this point the movie hadn’t been released, so some of the theories have been proven wrong since then. In thee back there’s a glossary where they translate all the Chinese spoken on the show. My favorite essay is written by Jewel Staite (she played Kaylee). She lists her five favorite moments from each episode. That may be the one to read even if you don’t read any of the others.
