From Canada. (March 27 2024) My wife and I as well.. I have the whole series! Plus the movie! We go through all of it at least four times a year. 😊👍Sure wish it was still being filmed. 😢
This show aired in 2002 the same year Powerangers Wildforce aired 💜Summer auditioned for the Role of Alyssa 💌💟enrile tiger ranger she lost it to Jessica Rey after not getting the part she caught the eye of Joss Whedon and she's Infamous on her Role in this Scifi Groovy showe as well as Terminator chronicles
I felt that way when my family visited Seattle, Las Vegas, Reno, etc. Too many people in a confined space and not enough nature. Getting back to the Cascades everything went back to being right.
Another great River Tam moment is the one where she watches the Irish dancers for a moment, and then joins in with virtuosity. Simon just stands by with a bemused, admiring look on his face.
Best sci fi series ever . Forget your star wars and star trek .. this was the one with real actors , Summer Glau's first acting job , became most girls hero overnight , she had a real presence and you never knew what she was about to do , awesome .
It'll still be there... waiting. I had really long hair in my mid 20's. A friend's 4 year old daughter had only ever seen me with a hat on, and my hair pulled back in a ponytail. One day, she walked up to me, and carefully pulled off my hat. Her eyes got huge as I shook out my hair, and she backed up until she could hide behind her parents legs, taking my hat with her. I told it was okay, it's just hair, and offered to let her feel it. She shook her head no. Her dad asked if she wanted to give me my hat back, again no. He asked if he could give it back, she threw it at him. He in turn tossed it to me, and I put it on, and fixed my ponytail. When I was done, she peeked around again, saw the hair monster was gone, and heaved the biggest sigh I have ever heard from a child.
I had a similar thing happen with a friend's 7yo daughter. I had long hair, and a 6 - 8 inch long beard at the time. Met up with the group as we were going to go mountain biking, and it was the first time the kid had met me. She hid behind her mum, hugged her leg for dear life and said "He's not coming with us, is he?" Best. Reaction. Ever! That was on the Friday. By the Sunday she'd realised I was harmless and was trying to braid my beard...
That thing with Crowley is sp perfect. Literally the instant she hears his voice, you see her face change, as if she's already thinking through the entire exchange and how it'll play out. Brilliant writing combined with brilliant acting, just like the rest of the show.
@@Bropann Probably tied in with her line about the cows - in the artificial word of civilization, she forgets what she is. When she's away from it, she remembers what being human is. At least in part.
I am really realizing how freaking bittersweet watching this is. Let me explain: I have seen the full series maybe 3 times but it's been a couple years - I almost weep now when I See the quality of this show - the subtleties that Whedon put into this and think about what could've been with this series. That's why it's bittersweet - it's so freaking… good is not good enough a word - Maybe, umm, EPICALLY SUPERIOR!!!? In any event, because it's so GOOD, it's a little upsetting to think that the series was canceled after it's single season. On a couple brighter notes, thank goodness for the legacy that is Firefly,... then the feature film "Serenity" and then to a degree at least some of the essence of Mal in the TV show Castle. Here's a note for anyone who hasn't seen the series Firefly yet - don't make the mistake that Fox television did - PLEASE see the pilot (TV) episode 1st (which happens to be entitled "Serenity" - but not to be confused with the feature film's title which is also "Serenity.")
Well now maybe it will be revived as The Mandalorian proved that Si-Fi space westerns can work in television and also they need Joss weadon back as writer and showrunner.
It truly is a shame. I don't think people really appreciated the subtlety and quirkiness that absolutely made it stand apart. I'm really hoping that they revive it through somebody who's worthy of the task.
@@Declan-pg8cg After seeing the Success that " The Expanse" fans had getting it onto Amazon, maybe we should re-look at starting a "Save Firefly" campaign again. Brown is the only colour. Unless it looks good in Red.
@@lancearn7332 I would absolutely love them to revive "Firefly" as they did "the Expanse". I'm actually in the middle of commission sculpting the main characters of the Expanse.
Her character was brilliant. In fact, every single character in this was brilliant. Each of them unique, and casted to perfection. This show easily had the potential to be as big as something like the X-Files in the 90's was. Can't help but feel Fox torpedoed it for political reasons, and because Whedon refused to back down to ridiculous demands of the studio, like wanting Wash and Zoe's marriage broken up, because, well, because reasons, that's why? We all know the real reason.
And ironically today... IR couples are everywhere you see, in advertising, TV shows and film and theater. Same race couples are virtually non-existent.
I heard another guy talking about how his sitcom got taken off of fox because he also wouldn't break up his central couple. So like, either fox has an issue with functional marriages, or they just like to use break ups and divorces as cheap and easy drama rather than relying an actual narrative tension.
There are 3 sci fi shows that hold a much higher place for me than all the rest. Galacta of course. A little remembered show from the 90s called Space Above and Beyond. Also cancelled after one season. And this one. Firefly is a show I have nothing but affection for. I also loved Serenity. These characters really were a family.
sourskittlez_97 nope... she, and several other treated, can in fact kill with mind power... when escaping the hospital, two MIB types were doing just that.
SuperVstech No. they were using those weird stick things. If you notice the sticks extend, then we hear a high pitch sound and men start dropping. Im assuming its soundwaves that are tuned to vibrate blood vessels until they shake apart.
Amongst other things, I wish the show had more time to develop more interactions between Book and River. For them to have further discussions from their opposing perspectives, River being about logic and Science, and Book about faith and beliefs of what may not be easily explained.
In her mannerisms and photogenic appearance she reminds me of a really young Sigourney Weaver and I even have a B/W picture of Weaver and Glau where they look like mother and daughter. I would love to see perhaps a short film based on the ALIEN ISOLATION game with Summer Glau portraying Amanda "Amy" Ripley, and I believe she would rock!
You forgot the best scene - when River takes Kaylee's gun in "War Stories" and kills three bad guys (without looking) and claims "No power in the verse can stop me!" #Browncoat4ever
It was my favorite scene and hyped me up for more scenes like that. Unfornutely we never see river be badass after that. (She was too overwhelmed by everyones emotions to do anything cool. She was getting better at compensating but the show ended before she got better.)
Summer Glau is a wonderful actress. I can relate to River Tam due to having autism. River Tam has autistic behaviour due to mental trauma she sustained when Alliance scientists experimented on her brain so they could turn her into a assassin.
@Daniel Williamson During this Scifi Action thriller she was Almost beautiful Summer almost became a Poweranger but she ultimately was cast instead as River Tam
It wasn't so much about turning her into an assassin, she could read minds at times and when the top-level people in the Alliance (I think it was) met with her, she learned some of their secrets, including about Miranda and the origin of the Reavers.
Is it just me or does she sometimes just say what someone else is thinking the same way they would put it? Like 6:25 this is what Kaylee wants to say to him :D
That's actually what a lot of her dialogue is. She's is constantly hearing everyone else's thoughts and can't always distinguish them from her own due to the torture she was put through.
All these are great. That bit at 6:31 and what came right before it in that episode was really interesting to me because it gave us some real insight into just how her brain had been damaged. She saw and picked up an object that had the shape of a gun, but while people's brains would automatically recognize that shape and alert us that it's a potentially deadly weapon, hers did not. Her brain couldn't make the connection from seeing the shape to recognizing the shape. To her it was just an object.
I took that personality database test that tells you what characters you’re most similar too. River tam was my top character, but I had never heard of her before so I had to check it out. She’s interesting lol.
River taking Jane’s food is almost a sign of respect. She could be doing it because she is wary of drugged food and knows Jane would only pick good food for his plate. Or it’s like a buddy messing with a friend.
Noah’s Ark is a problem …. We have to call it “Early State Quantum Phenomenon” it the only way you can fit 5,000 species of mammal on one boat. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They continue post-Serenity in the comics. River is still very much River, but without the horrors of what happened on MIranda ricocheting around her head (which she learned about via hearing about it through a (presumably) horrified Senator, only compounding the emotional weight) she's getting better. They don't write her as getting 'normal-normal' but rather attaining a state of 'River-normal'.
@@valashar5313 Yeah I meant "River" normal. She'd still be a "Reader" she'd still be able to kick a serious amount of ass. She just might play better with others you might say.
Oh snap! River must make no sense out of context, and only some sense in context. What a shame, maybe we could have gotten more flashbacks of before all that crazy academy time.

Has anyone ever given Firefly's dialogue writers the immense credit they deserve?
That was mostly, if not entirely, Joss Whedon I believe.
Guess not as good but yet another Cowboy Bebop comparison

pure genious between them all
"Everything she did, music, math, theoretical physics, even dance, there was nothing that didn't come as naturally to her as breathing comes to us."
That is… actually my top favorite River scene
She was a professional dancer before getting this role. She did the Reaver Scene in Serenity herself, no stunt double. Also kicking Jane's butt!

that scene was the best!
Maybe you know that she was literally, a prima ballerina.
And the one where she literally blows everyone away without looking
"No Power in the 'Verse can stop me."

River and Shepard's relationship is the most wholesome thing to watch! He became more like a wise grandpa to her and its so cute!
Except for the scary hair!
Downright criminal that this didn't get more seasons.
You speak sooth.
Most people look for perfection so intensely that they don't realize it when they find something better.
Only River Tamm could put the king of hell in his place.

I took that personality database test that tells you what characters you’re most similar too. River tam was my top character, but I had never heard of her before so I had to check it out. She’s interesting lol.
River taking Jane’s food is almost a sign of respect. She could be doing it because she is wary of drugged food and knows Jane would only pick good food for his plate. Or it’s like a buddy messing with a friend.
Noah’s Ark is a problem …. We have to call it “Early State Quantum Phenomenon” it the only way you can fit 5,000 species of mammal on one boat.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought this would feature fight scenes (which are also great) but this is just a bunch of sweet moments from the show! Well done!
No power in the verse can stop me! Where was that one?
They attacked some station... With that ridiculous torturer I think.. Niza. Can't remember the episodes name
@@Zaluskowsky I don't want to know which episode it is. I want to know why it's not in this video :P
@@ArmyGuyClaude lmao ok
River is the best!! #queen
" The Bible is broken, it doesn't make sense" when you think about it that is deep when you think about the context of the scene we are watching
It gets deeper when you realize she isn't talking about the Bible, she's talking about herself.
The most kick-ass character ever!!
From the TV show not from "Serenity" I'd love to see what she's like after she was "OK" from the end of "Serenity".
I kind of liked her better screwed up...
Kevin Ryan yeah, same. It was kind of adorable. But i dont think she was truly fixed. Her brain was physically damaged so she cant fully be fixed
They continue post-Serenity in the comics. River is still very much River, but without the horrors of what happened on MIranda ricocheting around her head (which she learned about via hearing about it through a (presumably) horrified Senator, only compounding the emotional weight) she's getting better. They don't write her as getting 'normal-normal' but rather attaining a state of 'River-normal'.
@@valashar5313 Yeah I meant "River" normal. She'd still be a "Reader" she'd still be able to kick a serious amount of ass. She just might play better with others you might say.
So cute... and so deadly.
Crowley had no idea how much danger he was in.
A producer needs to resurrect the series Firefly. Only one series was made, not nearly enough.
Why? So you can have the lesbian with feminist hair cut as the superheroe who has no problem kicking everyone's ass?
All the videos on RUclips and none has my favorite scene when they land on that dead planet and she speaks in Chinese
"It's broken. It doesn't make sense,"
It really, really doesn't. Does it?
Crowley is always great
Preacher, long ago in a former life, was a detective in New York City, Greenwich Village. He worked under a Captain Barney Miller.
He's from Evansville, Indiana.
River Tam's best moments without the "no power in the 'verse can stop me" scene or diving into the the reavers scene?
I love when she fixes the Bible...
We all loved that I think lol.
Noah’s ark is a problem
There is no power in the 'verse that can stop me.
4:14 I want to name my daughter River. 🥰🎀👶🏼🍼💕
Terminator is malfunctioning😂
"What am I going to do with you, bird?"
@@NightRunner417 ah, that scene
i took a test to see what fictional character i am , i got her , i’ve never watched this but it seems interesting
Thats why I'm here too.
Me too!
Oh snap! River must make no sense out of context, and only some sense in context. What a shame, maybe we could have gotten more flashbacks of before all that crazy academy time.
Summer is only barely a second to Jewel.. My god they are cute! in the end though... i pick Jewel, (her with her parasel!!)
When you roll a natural 20 on bluff.
