In this eclectic anthology of essays, former cast member Jewel Staite, "Kaylee," philosopher Lyle Zynda, sex therapist Joy Davidson, and noted science fiction and fantasy authors Mercedes Lackey, David Gerrold, and Lawrence Watt-Evans contribute to a clever and insightful analysis of the short-lived cult hit Firefly. From What went wrong with the pilot? to What's right about Reavers? and how the correspondence between the show's creator Joss Whedon and the network executives might have actually played out, the writers interrogate the show's complexity and speculate about what might have been if the show Firefly had not been cancelled.

Provides some closure for fans , October, 03, 2008

The thing about this book is that when it's good it's really good, and when it's bad....well it's awefull. It is a compilation of essays from various people about the show Firefly, meaning multiple authors. Now when you have multiple authors your quickly going to find yourself loving how some write and detesting how others do. So the parts you enjoy never last long enough, and the parts that you don't enjoy, well they drag on. This is certainly a worthy purchase for fans of the show, and will give you some closure, especially the writtings of Jewel Staite(Kaylee). However some of the essays are garbage, pompous, and frankly I sometimes wondered if these people where watching the same show.

 

Enjoyable , August, 14, 2008

You may not agree with everything that the various authors have written, in fact they do not always agree with each other, but every essay is thought out and well written. Most will make you think, a few may make you argue. You do have to keep in mind that this was written between Firefly and Serenity, so a few of the guesses and suppositions have already been aswered by the movie.
