Our Score: 5 out of 5 stars
This the second volume to the official companion of the cult classic TV series “Firefly”. Titan Books released Volume One in 2006 and it was a wonderful ode to the fans of this show. The book follows in the first volumes path and continues to deliver “Firefly” to its fans. It is jam packed with new unseen photos and great behind the scenes materials.
Continuing from the first volume, this contains the second half of an extended interview with Joss Whedon, as well as new exclusive interviews with the cast, writers and crewmembers. In this volume, there are more full, uncut shooting scripts including “Jaynestown” (one of my favorites), “Out of Gas”, “Ariel”, “War Stories”, “Trash”, “The Message”, “Heart of Gold” and “Objects in Space”. There are also sections on the shows out-of-the-world production design and visual effects. This is where the show really was way advance in its approach and it is great to see it showcased here.
Joss Whedon has really created one hell of a world surrounding this little show and this book manages to complete the circle. This show is guaranteed to last many years into the future and until it is recreated in some sense. This book is definitely a great tribute to the fans of the show and will leave them satisfied until then…or at least until the next volume “Firefly: Still Flying” is released.
