RIP.

 

[The Mad Collector]

RIP, I love Firefly, going to have to put on a DVD tonight

 

[Tonyblack]

The bit where he undid his hair and frightened River was hilarious. As was when she edited his Bible.

 

[Catch-up]

One of my favorite scenes was the "special hell" scene.

RIP Detective Ron Harris (Barney Miller)

RIP He was in an episode of Star Trek Voyager as well (but I definitely remember him best for Firefly).

 

[Bouncy Castle]

What an absolutely bloody awful year this has been.

Keo Woolford, an actor on the hit CBS TV series Hawaii Five-O, has sadly passed away at the age of 49. He died in a hospital in Oahu, Hawaii on Monday, three days after suffering a "severe" stroke.

RIP Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from Firefly and Barney Miller).

Wow, there's definitely differentiated age/genre based recognition going on here. I've never heard of Firefly, but I'm old enough to vividly remember Glass playing Detective Ron Harris on Barney Miller, one of the great non-Norman Lear sitcoms of the 70s.

 

[Dotsie]

I've never heard of Firefly,

See I was shocked there, but then I realised how much pain you've been saved. Like at the point where you say "Wow, that was amazing! Where can I watch season 2?"

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Shiny.

Or the rest of season 1. I hate you Fox.

Yes, just 14 episodes of brilliance and then they kill it off; they could at least have let Whedon finish the remaining episodes of the series, we would then have had a better ending than the sudden stop

 

[Catch-up]

No kidding! That was brutal! And, I did not like the movie that was made to wrap the story line up. It would be nice to have a reboot, but it won't likely have the same magic as the original.
