About Firefly
Firefly was an American science fiction television series that premiered in the United States and Canada on September 20, 2002. It presented an atypical science fiction narrative in a naturalistic future setting modeled after traditional Western movie motifs. It was conceived by writer/director Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, who served as executive producer with Tim Minear.The series was set in 2517 AD and dealt with the adventures of the renegade crew of a spaceship named Serenity. It featured an ensemble cast of nine regular members who wound up on Serenity for various reasons. The show explores what happens to people who fought on the losing side of a civil war, as well as the pioneer/frontier culture that exists on the fringes of their solar system. To add a twist, it is a future where the two sole-surviving super powers are the United States and China, so it is rife with cultural fusion. As the creator has stated, nothing has changed in the future: we have more people and more technology but the same problems politically, morally and ethically.Firefly was broadcast on the FOX network but was cancelled after only eleven of the fourteen produced episodes were aired. It won an Emmy in 2003 for "Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series" and spawned several spin-offs. Strong sales of the series' DVD collection and an unprecedented fan support campaign led Whedon and Universal Pictures to produce a film based on the series, titled Serenity after the fictional spacecraft featured in the show.

The cast of Firefly . Adam Baldwin (Jayne), Jewel Staite (Kaylee), Ron Glass (Shepherd Book), Sean Maher (Simon), Morena Baccarin (Inara), Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds), Gina Torres (Zoë), Alan Tudyk (Wash), Summer Glau (River).Nathan Fillion played Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds, Serenity's captain and former Independent sergeant in the pivotal Battle of Serenity Valley. Captain Malcolm Reynolds was named #18 in TV Guide's "25 Greatest Sci-fi legends" list in 2004.
Gina Torres played Zoë Alleyne Washburne, second-in-command onboard Serenity, loyal wartime friend of Reynolds, and wife to Wash.
Alan Tudyk played Hoban "Wash" Washburne, Serenity's gifted pilot and Zoë's somewhat timid husband. He expresses jealousy over his wife's unconditional support of their captain, most particularly in the episode "War Stories".
Morena Baccarin played Inara Serra, a Companion, which is the 26th century equivalent of a courtesan or geisha, sometimes mistaken for a prostitute (and is often called a "whore" by Captain Reynolds). Like her Renaissance counterparts, Inara enjoys high social standing. She and Mal have a strained relationship, with unspoken romantic tension playing a significant part in several episodes. Adam Baldwin played Jayne Cobb, hired muscle who joined the crew for mercenary reasons, is often the "main gun" for jobs and is someone that can be depended on in a fight. He is a "lummox" but thinks he is the smartest guy in space. As Whedon states several times, he is the person that will ask the questions that no one else wants to talk about.
Jewel Staite played Kaywinnit Lee "Kaylee" Frye, the ship's mechanic. In the episode "Out of Gas", it is established that she has no formal training, but keeps Serenity running with an intuitive gift for the workings of mechanical equipment. A carefree and bubbly young woman, Kaylee pines after Dr. Simon Tam. Kaylee's character is the heart of the show; the soul of the ship: if she believes something, it is true.
Sean Maher played Dr. Simon Tam, a medical researcher and trauma surgeon of the first caliber (top 3% in his class at a top core planet institution), who is on the run after breaking his sister River out of a government research facility. His bumbling attempts at a relationship with Kaylee are a recurring subplot throughout the series, and at every turn he seems to find a way to unwittingly foil his own romantic desires. His life is defined by caring for his sister.
Summer Glau played River Tam, who was smuggled onto the ship by her brother. River was a child prodigy of unparalleled genius, but she was experimented upon at the hands of Alliance doctors. In the episode "Ariel", it is revealed that among other terrifying "experiments," they stripped her amygdala, cutting into her brain over and over. She sometimes gives way to bouts of psychosis and is at these times nearly impossible to communicate with, although still undeniably brilliant. Her wording at these times is, at least, highly unconventional: it is almost always understandable in context, tending to be both insightful and giving a unique perspective. She very clearly has the ability to read minds and see things as they happen, though this is never explicitly stated. She displays uncanny agility and hand-eye coordination, especially in one particular fight scene, where she shoots three men with her eyes closed. She more than once comments on the names of those around her, telling Jayne "Jayne is a girl's name," and staring at the Captain and remarking "Mal. Bad. In the Latin."
Ron Glass played Derrial Book. He is a "Shepherd", which is the equivalent of a reverend, minister or pastor. In the episode "Safe", it is revealed that he has priority status in the Alliance for unspecified reasons, and throughout the series, he demonstrates a peculiar depth of knowledge about firearms and criminal activities, such as an electromagnetic field ("net") that disables ships and leaves them vulnerable in space in the episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds". His full identity remained a mystery throughout the series, and like most characters on the show, he was more than he appeared.
