The universe of Joss Whedon’s short-lived television series Firefly and movie Serenity contains 215 terraformed planets and moons. Although only a handful of locales could be explored in 14 episodes and one feature film, a new map plots out the entire Serenity Verse.

Is Joss Whedon's edgy new show Dollhouse doomed before? I know as much as you do. I do know one thing, though: it's going to be the best thing he's ever done. Don't let the nay-sayers weigh you down — Joss' tale of a woman whose mind has been erased (to make way for whatever personality a paying client wants) will be better than Buffy or Firefly.

Kelsey Grammer said Tuesday that Fox is dropping his sitcom "Back to You," calling the decision a surprise and a shame. Shocked, Kelsey? I have a couple friends named Arrested Development and Firefly that would love to chat with you.

A Serenity fan on LiveJournal went to the Hub Conventions Serenity event this past weekend and reported some interesting news from guest Ron Glass (Shepherd Book from Firefly and Serenity). Dark Horse Comics will be publishing a new comic about the character of Book, set prior to the events we’ve already seen on the screen.

Hulu, a joint venture of NBC Universal and News Corp is serving up full-length episodes of Firefly with limited commercial interruption. Coupled with the high def remastering of Firefly coming to UHD this march could this, be a hint of what the future holds? New episodes of firefly coming down the line? I certainly hope so.

We are looking to push the envelope of episodic television by offering Season Two of Firefly in a groundbreaking new format. Each episode (or the entire season) would be made available for purchase in Standard or Hi-Definition by monthly DVD deliveries, TV On-Demand using your cable or satellite provider, or computer viewing via Streaming Download.

If you want to learn good organization skills, look no further than some of the best leaders in the universe: the captains of spaceships. They may be fictional, but they have skills that translate into the real world. Now you can learn the seven greatest leadership lessons we gleaned from watching shows like Futurama and Firefly.

Could there be another incarnation of Joss Whedon's science-fiction western "Firefly" on the horizon? Summer Glau says of course: it's a show that is "never over." "We're very close," Glau said of the cast during a recent press conference with reporters including SyFy Portal.

Don’t miss Wil Wheaton’s great show intro, plus lots of fun — this week’s re-watch episode (The Passage), some Firefly, and, of course, a tiny bit of Mass Effect. Highlights: we question the Galactica’s sad lack of sunglasses (V had ‘em!)
