Did you know itâs been ten years since Firefly started? Seriously. AN ENTIRE DECADE, guys. I canât believe how incredibly old that makes me feel, but! Letâs not dwell on our inevitable demises, letâs talk about how much we love Firefly and what an AMAZING show it was.
Want to know everything, ever about it? Luckily, Firefly: A Celebration was released a few days ago, and is packed to the gills with amazing stuff for the Firefly aficionado. Itâs 544 pages of awesome, like a nerdâs fandom Bible, a Browncoatâs love letter, everything you want to see and things you didnât even know existed.
There are a bunch of unreleased photos, the complete scripts to every episode and little sidebars accompanying it with little notes about the show, characters, etc…. The illustrations are fantastic, some of the pictures have never before been published, and itâs basically this Browncoatâs dream come true. The faux leather binding — itâs as cool as theyâd lead you to believe, but itâs not awful.
Granted, if you already have the Official Firefly Companions Volumes 1 & 2, you wonât get much more out of this, but if you donât? GET ON IT. Iâve been flipping through it and discovering new things on every page. Itâs kind of the best.
