VARIETY: 'Firefly' still glowing at Science Channel

Network reignites fan passion for cancelled series

By Eddie Kim
Fri., Nov. 9, 2012


"When 'Firefly' was cancelled, I thought it would go the way of most all other canceled shows: nowhere," said Nathan Fillion, who played the lead role of Mal Reynolds on the show. "But it just won't die."

In fact, "Firefly" hasn't just stayed alive in the 10 years after its cancellation -- it's thrived. The story of nine crew members of the Firefly-class ship Serenity in the year 2517 blossomed into a cult phenomenon, with legions of "Browncoats" -- a fond nickname for "Firefly" fanatics -- packing ballrooms at the San Diego and New York Comic-Cons this summer.

Now Science Channel, which began rerunning the show in March 2011, has unveiled the new hour-long special "Firefly: Browncoats Unite," which airs Sunday and reunites the entire Serenity crew for a comprehensive discussion of the show and its lingering questions. The special features Fillion, Sean Maher, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Morena Baccarin, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres and Jewel Staite, along with showrunner Joss Whedon, exec producer Tim Minear and exec story editor Jose Molina...

HERO COMPLEX: ‘Firefly’: Sean Maher wants Whedon to make ‘Serenity’ sequel

Nov. 09, 2012
by – Noelene Clark


Few stories inspire the kind of passion and devotion shown by the fans of Joss Whedon’sFirefly.” The short-lived sci-fi western followed Capt. Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) and his crew as they stole and scavenged their way across the universe, trying to keep their raggedy spaceship Serenity afloat. “Firefly” was canceled a decade ago, but support for the show has spawned a movie sequel, comic series, packed comic convention panels and now a one-hour reunion special on Science Channel.

Firefly: Browncoats Unite” features a roundtable discussion with cast members Fillion, Summer Glau, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin and Sean Maher and writers Tim Minear and Jose Molina, as well as separate interviews with Jewel Staite, Gina Torres and Morena Baccarin. The discussion reveals closely guarded plans for the second season that never was, including a child for Zoe (Torres) and Wash (Tudyk), more dastardly deeds for Jayne (Baldwin) and a brutal attack on Inara (Baccarin). The documentary special airs Sunday at 10 p.m. ET/PT following an all-day “Firefly” marathon on Science Channel, but fans can unlock several additional videos from the interview by tweeting “#FireflyNov11″ to the handle @ScienceChannel.

One of “Firefly’s” most memorable characters was Simon Tam (Maher), the doctor who abandoned a successful career to rescue his sister, River (Glau). Simon serves as Serenity’s tether to the civilized world, and his moral code and mysterious past land the crew in several places and situations they’d rather avoid. Hero Complex caught up with Maher to talk about Simon, “Firefly” and what’s next for Serenity...

... Hero Complex: It’s unbelievable that 10 years after this show was canceled, it’s getting so much love and attention and conventions and this reunion special. Is it strange for you to still be talking about a project that’s so far in your rearview mirror?


Sean Maher: "It was so funny. San Diego was crazy, but you know, Joss was there. In New York it was me and Jewel, and Nathan surprised us. But Jewel and I were standing backstage before our panel, and we’re looking out in the audience, and we were like, “Oh, it’s so empty!” And we were like, “Oh, that makes sense, that’s OK. It will be fun anyway. It’s all right.” And then we checked back 10 minutes later, and it was packed with only standing room, and apparently there were thousands and thousands of people who were still trying to get in, who had waited. And just when we had a moment of, “That’s OK, it will be a small panel, but we’ll have fun, and it totally makes sense — it’s been 10 years. C’mon, who wants to talk about it anymore?” But then it just became again this huge event. It surprises me every single time. Every convention that I go to, especially if I’m there alone, and there are other actors, and I’m the only “Firefly” actor, and I show up to my “Firefly” panel thinking, “Oh, it’s just little old me. Nobody’s going to come hear me talk.” And then nobody can get in. People are just waiting and waiting and waiting. I’m just so grateful. I was talking to Nathan about that in San Diego. We’re just so grateful to be first of all part of the show, but being part of the show made us part of the Whedonverse, and to be considered a Whedonite, it’s a title I wear well, and I’m so proud of it, and I’m so grateful, and I feel so blessed..."

THE CHRISTMAS CONSULTANT - LIFETIME VIDEO: MOVIE TRAILER - PREMIERES SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2012 AT 8/7C

Christmas is just around the corner but suburban workaholics Maya Fletcher (Caroline Rhea) and her husband Jack (Barclay Hope) are too busy to get into the holiday spirit. As their Christmas to do list grows and deadlines fast approach, holiday spirit is at an all time low. Maya forgets she promised to host a Christmas Eve party for her and Jack’s whole family. In an effort to impress a potential new client, Maya has also invited him to spend the holidays with the family.

With Christmas only 10 days away, Jack encourages Maya to hire a specialist to help with the planning. Enter one Owen (David Hasselhoff), the most sought-after Christmas consultant in town. Luckily for them, he recently had a cancellation so the Fletcher’s hire him. Decorating the house, family caroling and planning a family Christmas pageant are all part of Owen’s scheme to make this a magical Christmas for the Fletchers. Slowly he wins over the entire family except for Maya, the supermom who just wants to be able to do it all. She desperately wants to satisfy her boss and land a million dollar perfume account all without missing the Christmas family fun.

The Fletcher’s perfect Christmas does not go as anticipated. Can Owen help Maya realize that above all else, having the family together is more important than being a supermom? With Owen’s help and a little Christmas magic, the Fletchers are in for a Christmas that none of them will ever forget.
