Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 791.4572 EAN: 9781933771212 ISBN: 1933771216 Label: Benbella Books Manufacturer: Benbella Books Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 224 Publication Date: October 01, 2007 Publisher: Benbella Books Studio: Benbella Books Editorial Review: Product Description: This follow-up to Finding Serenity takes the examination of Joss Whedon's canceled cult favorite even further, addressing the events of the film Serenity as well as offering even more thought-provoking, fascinating, and far-thinking essays on the Firefly universe. Contributors include actor Nathan Fillion, who played Captain Mal Reynolds, as well as noted science fiction writer Orson Scott Card. Behind-the-scenes details are explored, including why Firefly makes such a good platform for the upcoming Multiverse online game (with an essay written by Multiverse executive producer Corey Bridges), while other essays examine recurring issues from both the series and the movie, such as the Alliance's hatred of science, the role of smart-mouthed women, and the real reason the Firefly universe has no aliens. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - A Must-ReadAnyone who's seen Firefly or Serenity and fallen in love with it will find this book thoroughly entertaining and worth reading. I found myself agreeing wholeheartedly with much of what was written, and wanting to argue the authors of other essays, which is always a good thing in my opinion. Each essay was clearly written by a fan of the show, and the love shines through in the writing. Though some of them just seem pointless or shallow ('Things My Husband and I Argue About while Watching Firefly'), ... Read More Rating: - Serenity Found findingsJacob Clifton's work alone would have been enough to get me to buy this, but I ended up enjoying nearly the entire book, even more so than its predecessor, Finding Serenity, which contained the silly "Firefly is like the Tick" essay, the ludicrous "Joss Whedon isn't feminist enough because Zoe loves her husband and respects her boss" essay, and the offensive as hell "Joss Whedon can't possibly be a feminist, because no thinking man would be" essay. This second volume is better for following ... Read More Rating: - a half decent readI'm a fan of firefly and this book is decent. About half of the essays are great. Well written, clear points, funny (like firefly). I recommend: -Curse your sudden but inevital betrayal; its about a firefly fan's reactions to the show and arguments with her husband (not really arguments, though. He says something and she quips). Its pretty funny. -I, Malcolm; by Nathan Fillion himself. Its funny, witty, but short. -Catching up with the Future by Orson Scott Card. Insightful ... Read More Rating: - More Firefly goodnessHaving also read "Finding Serenity", this volume gives you a little more insight into the Firefly 'verse, post BDM (that's Big Damn Movie, for you non-Fireflyphiles.) This is a highly enjoyable, intelligent, and thought-provoking look into the Firefly/Serenity verse. Highly recommended for fans and non-fans alike. Rating: - Just what I needed!This book was just what I needed to help me with a paper I'm writing on Joss Whedon's Firefly. It arrived timely and in great shape. Thanks! |
