Fan Rants

Finally some action on this project. Back in 2008 I was speaking with Ron Glass at the Shore Leave convention in Baltimore when he mentioned he was writing a comic book. And not just any comic, but a story that would fill out the mysterious past of Shepherd Book!

As all Firefly fans know, Book was not at all forthcoming about his history. And due to his actions you knew he was not always a man of the cloth spreading the good word. And soon we will know that history.

According to an article on Comic Book Resources, the story will arrive in hardcover graphic novel format this November. I do recommend you hop over and read the CBR article as they have a great interview with the graphic novels artist, Chris Samnee.

Well kinda… Jewel Staite and Sean Maher are appearing together on an episode of Warehouse 13 this summer. It will be good to see them together again since Serenity.

Simon Sean will be playing a man who finds one of those nasty artifacts and undergoes a physical change. And in a reversal of character types, Kaylee Jewel will play his unrequited love interest. Here is the full scoop from Syfy.

I wonder how many people will find this article looking for Irish dance…

Yesterday I ran across this photo on SuicideBlonde and was just awe-struck by it. Someone has taken screen shots of River Tam from the Firefly episode Safe and the Serenity movie and put them side by side.

I love the fact that Joss was able to incorporate River’s dance from the TV show as her fighting style in the bar scene from Serenity. And I also love the Browncoat that caught this and took the time to document it (a purely platonic love of course).
