The first time the preview plays, you have to look fast to catch the brown coat. Let it play through a second time, and he looks more like Reynolds than Castle as the preview clips are different.

And if you let it run, it plays an extended version. In which he explains that he's going to a costume party....
=D

Lund: You gonna drink to the Alliance with me? Six years ago today, the Alliance sent the browncoats running, pissing their pants. You know... your coat's kind of a brownish color...
Mal: It was on sale. [drinks]
Lund: You didn't toast. You know, I'm thinking you're one of them In'e'pen'ents.
Mal: And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling. So why don't we just ignore each other until we go away?
Lund: The In'e'pen'ents were a bunch of inbred, cowardly piss-pots. Should've been killed off of every world spinnin'.
Mal: [turns] Say that to my face.
Lund: I said you're a coward and a piss-pot. Now what are you gonna do about it?
Mal: [smiles] Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you.

Wasn't Malcom Reynolds the off-road motorcycle racer from "On Any Sunday" and winner of the ISDT?

Nope. That was Malcom Smith.

Isn't there an airport somewhere in North Carolina named after Malcolm Reynolds?

That. Was. AWESOME!!! =D =D

That was awesome. Is that a good show?
[considers getting TV again]
-
It's fairly good, getting better. Best part is Fillion's acting, which makes it watchable beyond the somewhat lame premise.
Castle is not as good as Dollhouse, which may be the best show since Firefly, although I would also have to consider Rome, Deadwood, Galactica, and The Unit.
I'd trade them all for another season of Firefly.
Comparing other shows to Firefly is like asking who's the second best rock band in the 1970s: I dunno who was second best, but whoever it was, they were a long ways behind Led Zeppelin.

:lol:
I wouldn’t go that far.
The point isn’t the preview, the point is just a heads-up for the Firefly fans here who might find it fun to see a bit of Firefly again.

31 seconds into the preview...

Some of the guys from Firefly played voice actors in the game Halo 3 ODST.
From wiki:
Members of Bungie were fans of the defunct television series Firefly, and in Halo 3's development brought in several of the actors to fill Marine voice roles.[26] Three of them: Nathan Fillion (a Halo fan himself),[41] Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk voice the non-player characters of the four man squad in ODST.[42] Tricia Helfer voices the ONI agent Dare; Helfer and Fillion recorded their cinematic dialog together in the same room, a rarity in voice acting. Staten said that "their performances were stronger having them together at the same time".[42] While much of the cinematic dialogue was written by Staten, combat dialogue could be improvised by the voice actors.[43] Adding Sadie's Story into the game doubled the amount of voice work in the game.[44] After the voice roles were filled, Bungie licensed Fillion and Helfer's likenesses for their respective characters.[26]
Adam Baldwins character even makes a reference to vera, =D

Another clip from Castle:

"Didn't you wear that, like, five years ago?"
:lol:
-
Mrs. Dual is a HUGE Castle fan, and she loves Adam Baldwin in Chuck too.
I'm trying to get her to Netflix Firefly so we can watch it together, but she refuses, because she "hates sci-fi" no matter what. :|
Oh and um... The actress that plays Castle's daughter. I'm looking forward to her growing up, so I uh.. can stop NOT thinking the things I want to think but won't let myself think because she's only sixteen. Partly it's just the "redhead thing"... but damn...

OK, I will have to check out Castle.

FTFY :D

Great video, Jack Straw !
Anybody catch the Firefly-like music after Mal Castle enters the room where his daughter is reading ?
-
I am having a hard time freezing it at the right moment, but some youtube commentators are claiming that the catalyzer from "Out of Gas" is sitting on Castle's bookshelf when he bursts through the door.
-
yep

That's awesome! I DVR'd this episode but haven't had a chance to watch it yet. Gotta carve out some time tonight. :)
-
I have yet to receive a lavish apology from Fox management for canceling Firefly.
-
I would think at some point Fox management would see just how much of a fanbase Firefly created.
And seriously consider bringing it back even if it's just for a 2nd season.
Of course Serenity killed some of the underlining storyline.
However there is no reason they couldn't bring it back post Serenity and continue on from there.
If Castle is picked up for a 3rd season then it has to be obvious that Fillion is desired by audiences.
I bet Whedon would jump all over the opportunity to revive Firefly. JMHO

Serenity may have killed some storyline (and characters), but there's no reason they can't create story between the first season and Serenity.
Also, the newly "fixed" River would make for interesting stories post-Serenity.

When Wash died I just about cried. Not so much cause he was my favorite character, but because if they ever revived the series he wouldn't be on it...

They'll never revive the series. As much as it hurt, I liked the theme that there can be consequences for doing the right thing.
Sometimes doing the right thing will cost you. It's still worth it.

gonna have to find that episode of castle. i say it a few times and liked it (the by play between fillion and the female lead tickles me) but to see Mal in all his glory (or at least in the coat) is worth it.
must say, i'm a pleased to see someone else loving Dollhouse. I can't wait for Alpha to show up again (tudayk is an awsome in anything, he and the guy that played chacuer made A Knights Tale worth watching) and i'm bouncing in anticapation of Glau's apperance in the next episodes.
-
FWIW, tudayk is in the new V.
Chris

Wonder how long it takes to reveal they're reptilian in this iteration? =D

Caught that on a commercial. DVR'd V last night too. Guess I gots me some TV watching to do tonight. :)
-
The name is Tudyk, and yeah, he was great in A Knight's Tale. "I will fong you!"
Morena Baccarin is in V, too.
-
Wonder how long it takes to reveal they're reptilian in this iteration? =D
About 40 minutes.

That opening scene was great! :)

There is a glimmer of hope! =D
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serenity_(film)#Sequels
Fans of Firefly had hoped that if Serenity were successful, it might lead either to a revival of the television series or a film franchise (colloquially referred to as the "Big Damn Trilogy", or BDT).[93][94] The former was always unlikely, since Fox still owns the Firefly television rights and Joss Whedon reportedly refused to work for Fox again[95] (though he has since agreed to write and produce the television series Dollhouse for the network). Fans' hopes for further theatrical films appear to have been partially dashed by Serenity's mediocre box office showing. Whedon has stated that if a sequel is made, he hopes to address the character Book's backstory and deal with Jubal Early, a bounty hunter character assumed dead at the end of Firefly.[96] The first major sequel rumor began on December 1, 2005, when IGN Filmforce reported that Universal had expressed an interest in making a Serenity TV movie for broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel (which is owned by Universal), and eventual DVD sale. It was expected that commissioning of a television sequel would be contingent on strong DVD sales of Serenity.[97] In a January 2006 interview, Whedon doubted the chances of a sequel.[98] On June 23, 2006 a number of fans organized and spread word of "Serenity Day", on which all fans were proposed to purchase a copy of Serenity in an attempt to convince Universal that a sequel would be profitable. The significance of this day was that June 23, 2006 was the one-year anniversary of the third and final advance screening of Serenity prior to its release, as well as Joss Whedon's birthday. The impact of the event could be seen from Serenity reaching #2 in the Amazon DVD Charts,[99] the highest ranking the DVD had reached since January 16, 2006.[100]
On October 1, 2006, Whedon posted a comment to the Whedonesque.com website, responding to a rumor that he was currently working on a sequel to Serenity. He wrote,
"There's no sequel, no secret project regarding Serenity or somesuch and I'm not even sure how anyone thought there was talk there. I've seen Nathan and Tim (and Summer and Alan) recently because they're my friends because I'm so, yeah, awesome. So let's put that to bed and smother it with a pillow."[101]
Whedon's response to the rumor consequently sparked many websites to publish articles stating that he would never work on a sequel to Serenity. Whedon again returned to Whedonesque.com to respond to the new stories and wrote,
"Holy Mother of Oats! I turn my back for five minutes (that's how long it takes to admire my lovely back) and the interweb goes banoonoos! Isn't there any ACTUAL news to get wrong? Sorry about all this; it might be best if I just stay off the computer for a while....Here's a thing: when Firefly was cancelled, my heart got broke. Sounds a bit much, but it changed me. Not even Serenity could patch that wound. I'm wearier, warier -- after all those years as a movie writer, you'd think I'd be prepared for another lesson on my unimportance in the scheme of things, but I wasn't....All these rumor of projects or the death of projects... When the two worlds align and something actually happens, whatever it is, you guys know I'll be on this site as soon as I'm allowed to be. And I'll be very very clear. There is no news. Not never, just now."[102]
In an interview at the 2007 Comic-Con, Whedon stated that he believes hope for a sequel rests in the sales of the Collector's Edition DVD.[103][104] In an August 2007 interview with Amazon.com prior to the Collector's Edition DVD release, Whedon stated "It's still on my mind, I mean, but I don't know if mine is the only mind that it's on." He later said "You know, whether or not anybody who's involved would be available at that point — everybody's working, I'm happy to say — is a question, but whether I would want to do another one is not a question."[105] On October 4, 2007, Alan Tudyk suggested in an interview that Universal was considering another film due to DVD sales.[106] Although Joss Whedon later discounted Tudyk's statement as being "wishful thinking",[107] Tudyk is still hopeful a sequel will be made.[108]

'Bout 30 minutes or so, I think it was. Watched it on DVR this morning after work, and the first big fight they got into, one of the Visitors was unmasked. He was not from one of the ships, either... =D
-

Yup, they've managed to tie in the conspiracy nuts' favorite bogyman: reptilian spies.
Chris
-
Leave it to the guy who dies in the last movie to start talking about a sequel.... ;/
V is going to take some getting used to for me.....I loved the first mini-series, but tolerated the second....esp. the "space child" arch....but I'm not sure I'm ready for a V without Diana and Ham Tyler..... =|
We'll see how it goes....
-

It gets worse. I read that it was his suggestion that his character be killed off in Serenity, and afterwards he regretted it.
Ideas that aren't well thought through are sort of a ... leaf on the wind, I guess.

I'm sure David Icke is very pleased.
-
Yeah, the Reptilian Humanoids (couldn't remember the proper name for them). They're early arriving spies in the show.
Also, in the show, it's not a mask they're wearing, but actual human skin grown over their own. They're giving things a modern twist it seems. Based on the first episode, I like it so far.
Chris
-
River's gonna be in Dollhouse?
yep and the preveiw showed her being evil!!! =D
-
From what I've read ...
Fox is keeping Dollhouse off the air in November because they want to substitute some other show that they think will get better ratings in "sweeps" month.
In December, the plan is to get Dollhouse back on schedule by showing two episodes back-to-back the first three weeks.
The first week's two episodes will feature Summer Glau.
Of course, things could change between now and then. Just be glad Dollhouse is back for Season 2.
-
I enjoyed the first episode of V, and will keep watching as long as it doesn't get substantially worse. My wife was laughing the whole time (AT the show, not WITH it), and has made the comment, when I said that I hoped they avoided the whole lizard-baby thing, "But that was the best PART of the first one!" ;/
On a possibly-unrelated note - hey, I see we finally got a tinfoil-beanie emoticon! Just in time for the lizard-spy conspiracy types!
Back to the thread header - I finally watched the Castle ep from 10-26 off of my DVR, and loved it. Nathan Fillion was obviously having fun with his Whedon work (the whole Cap'n Mal getup, which he's had for "like, 5 years now!", the quickdraw, the Buffy comment in the graveyard). His shriek of girlish terror was hilarious, too! That show's going on my must-watch list - I'd forgotten it was on, until I saw the comments about this ep a few weeks ago.
-
I have seen a few episodes of Castle & I like it.
