Sometimes, a sci-fi series takes on a life of its own after its untimely end. Even 24 years later, the ardent love for Fireflyis still going strong. There are only 14 episodes and one feature film continuation, but no power in the ‘verse can stop the Browncoat fandom from celebrating all that is shiny about this series. The decades after its abrupt conclusion spawned multiple comic books and original canon novels. In January 2020, Michael Thorn, Fox’s entertainment president, even considered a revival, but since Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville was airing on Fox at the time, the idea was put to bed.
