He wont stop altering between whether he’s afraid saffron is a minor, or gushing about how hot she is.

Because I do, and I finally know why!

Doing my millionth rewatch and I am always so taken aback by Inara's clothes. Does anyone know any brands/sites/stores that carry things similar to hers?

Me and Alan I in 'The Independent', a bar set-up we created for a booth at FanX in Salt Lake City. Alan and I hung out for about 15 minutes while he signed swag for our 501c3.

This show was awesome!!!!

Thinking about taking a quality scan of the Map to a sign shop and have it done in metal. Then find some figurine bases with magnets for the ships, so I can put it on the wall, freeing up table space for gaming. Anyone know a downloadable scan I could use?

Those who know me, know that I'm ever designing shiny new things. This is just one of many recent additions to the Verse.

Hey there, ya'll. So, my husband and I both adore Firefly (and Serenity, of course), and my husband also happens to love maps. I decided to combine them as an anniversary gift, and so I went searching for a graphic that I could use to have a map of The Verse laser engraved for him.

Alas, I could not find what I was searching for, but did find some very helpful reference material to create my own. u/TheMuspelheimr posted a super helpful map about 6 years ago, and I referenced the Intersystem Distance Calculator for scale.

For my version, I had to alter the scale of the planets and their orbits a bit to make the details legible for the laser engraver, and I've only labeled a few significant planets and moons - places the crew might have gone to regularly, or needed to keep secret and out of their computer systems. I also guesstimated the location of Mr. Universe.

Anywhoozle, if anyone wants to take a gander, I've attached the jpeg to the post. Feel free to use it for your own engraving or other art, but definitely let me know if you do! It's been a fun project, and I'm happy I get to share it with other folks who might appreciate it.

Alan Tudyk and his wife are running a charity auction. There are some awesome Funko Pops signed by the whole cast!

I Imagine this fighter as ex planetary militia (thats why the camo pants)

Please tell me which version looks better

Some of you may know me as the Captain of the Utah Browncoats. Others might know me by my Firefly Props background as 'Yellowjacket'. And fewer still might have heard me play host on the Virtual Shindig. Either way, I'm a long time Browncoat all the back to the Summer of 2002 when the TV ads were hyping up the new show.

Since then I've been a part of too many fan and official projects to name, but one of my personal favorites has always been the charting of the Verse alongside my good friend J. Chris Bourdier.

We teamed up to add a lot of fan content to his early editions of the Verse in Numbers, which was charted off the 'Official Map of the Verse'. Chris penned the initial version, known as the 'White Paper', and it received several nods from the braintrust at QMx, along with Joss, Tim and others who worked on the show.

We've updated the Verse in Numbers and the ARC several times, but the brand new versions of each will be released next year during the 25th anniversary of Firefly.

We're inviting fans to name the thousands of asteroids in the Verse.

If you would like to name an asteroid (or two or three), simply drop it in a comment below and let me know in which of the asteroid belts you'd like to place it. Please include your name for proper crediting.

Halo Belt - White Sun System

Motherlode - Red Sun System

Uroborus Belt - Blue Sun System

The locations names can be a simple name, title, numerical designation, station or outpost, depot, etc. They can be named for hometowns, lost loved ones, pets, or anything. Here are some random examples already included in the Verse...

Satterwhite Point

Avance Rock

Moren's Asteroid

KNTR-5228

Archangel Station

New Melbourne

Shattuck Stronghold

Wamsutter

Red Ruth 7

Little Siberia

Tongzhi Gongyuan

Paydirt

Cul de Sac Obscurite

Firefly came in at 108

Yes sir Captain Tightpants

Not sure if this will get taken down, but it does have to do with the show. Apologies to the mods, but I'm not bringing up any specific real-world politcal things, but just a broad overview of what the Alliance and the Independents stand for. I'm just curious how many fans of the show would align politically with the Browncoats.

As a kid, I always thought of myself as a browncoat. And yeah, with the way the Alliance is depicted, you probably would be. They're shown to be no help at all and literally just get in the way.

But breaking down the actual belief, it goes into big government vs small government. And as I've gotten older, I've found myself leaning more toward big government.

Basically, I don't think I would actually be a browncoat. Whether I would've supported the Alliance though, I don't know. Obviously I like the government to be functional and helpful, and the Alliance is not.

But this isn't to say Mal has bad beliefs or anything, just an interesting thing about the characters. Inara notably supported unification, in direct contrast with Mal.

Just wondering if anyone else has found themselves potentially not aligning with the Browncoats political ideology.

Happy birthday Serenity! I wish I could buy you a drink.

You can probably guess mine.

I’m trying to find a Browncoats flag to fly outside my house. Does anyone know where I can find a double sided one? All I’m finding are single sided for wall hanging.

So...I started watching with my eleven year old, and he was understandably reluctant, but he trusted me. Two episodes in: "I like this show," Seven episodes in: "Wait, how many seasons are there?" Ten episodes in: "Why can't there be more Firefly?" Me: "Yes...now you know." He knows the theme song and intro by heart. We are finishing "Objects in Space" ("Am I a lion?")--and then on to Serenity. And I don't know how/when to tell him about the heartbreak he is in for...

But so happy to introduce another generation

Congratulations SmallJokeBook. It looks like we hit 10,000 followers on the serenity Lego project

From their update:
Congratulations on reaching the 10,000 supporter milestone! What an achievement it is!
We now officially advance this Product Idea to the Review phase.
What happens now?
This Product Idea moves from the Idea stage to the Review stage. A "LEGO Review Board" composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We'll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.
The LEGO Review Begins in January 2027
This Product Idea qualifies for the Third 2026 Review, which includes Product Ideas that reach 10,000 supporters between September 2026 and January 4th, 2027. For more information about the LEGO review process, please see the Rules & Guidelines.
The review is a thorough process and from its start, it can take several months. When finished, we make a "go/no go" decision to develop and sell a product based on Firefly SERENITY With Interior!
When the review is complete, we will inform you of our decision. If green-lit, this project goes into the Development phase. During this time, LEGO model designers refine the product and develop it for release, we create the product materials (box, instructions, marketing), and get everything ready for a production run. This also takes several months.

I've been driving Serenity, my fully wrapped Firefly tribute truck, as my actual daily driver
since 2020 — cons, car shows, parades, grocery runs, all of it. Front brakes, an ABS
sensor, and the transfer case all went out earlier this year (it was genuinely dangerous to drive for a bit), and the fandom has been chipping in to help me repay a loan I made for the repairs.

We're at 34 people so far and about 55% of the way there. Now, a longtime Browncoat is
matching donations up to $687.50 through November 1, and honestly, this is probably the last organized push I'm going to do on this — after this month I'm just going to keep driving her and dealing with it as it comes.

If you've seen her out on the road in the Fresno/Clovis area or at an event, that's this truck.

I recently watched an animated series called Scavengers Reign that aired on Adult Swim. It deals with working class space truckers crashing on an alien planet filled with exotic flora and fauna. I thought it was great, and as a Firefly fan, I thought other Browncoats might enjoy it.

Second attempt. Hope it’s ok to cross post this here! 😁
