Update: I am revising my plan to watch as the episodes aired, and instead am going to watch them as they should have aired. I will be starting with the 90 minute pilot, Serenity.
23 years ago today Firefly premiered with the Train Job, although the episode was released out of order. Episode 11, Serenity, was the actual first episode of the series.
As I have not watched the show in years, I decided it is time to watch again.
Ah early high school (why do my knees suddenly hurt?), I still remember hearing radio ads for the show while sitting in my brother’s car on the way there. The line that sold it for me was that “The toughest guy on the ship is named Jayne.”
