Megan and I go in a different direction for our next sci-fi series as we take up the 2002 series Firefly. The show is an American space Western drama television series. The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system, and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a “Firefly-class” spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Join the dynamic and delightful hosts Tom Fox and Megan Dougherty as they dive into the latest episode of Firefly in their podcast, Because That’s What Heroes Do!
Beginning with the captivating detail that River’s line “I could kill you with my brain” is the best line in the episode, this podcast episode discussed the TV show “Firefly” which involved a heist, a con, and a deepening relationship between Mal and Inara. Tom and Megan discussed the importance of having an intimacy coordinator and union rules for nude scenes, as well as the difference between when men and women do nude scenes. They also discussed the dialogue between Simon and Jane, and the plan to dump the gun in a trash chute and intercept the trash being removed. The conversation then shifted to the current world climate, and the importance of having an intimacy coordinator and union rules for such scenes. Finally, they discussed Mal’s feelings for Inara and how they may not be brotherly.
