Just another new day dawning in the life of Serenity's crew with lots of legal trading I'm sure.

Thank you. Yeah, I chose the original format to better show the scale, but I was asked by a few people if I wouldn't mind turning it into a wallpaper, so I had to redo a couple of parts and made it wide screen. Why not?
And yes, the show went before its time. I particularly liked the wit and sarcasm in the show. This is why I loved that Joss Whedon got involved with the "Avengers" movie, too. Especially Hulk's behavior in the movie is an obvious example of Whedon humor. Had a few good belly laughs!
Thank you. Yeah, it's an interesting design, but over the years it grew on me. I guess the Whedonverse is just a different 'sci-fi-realism' approach.
I just wish I'd known about Firefly before a few years ago. I was in the US Army from 2001 to 2005 an I was on a combat deployment to Afghanistan during the show's entire short run. Fortunately, though, some guys over a 3D Gladiators suggested it and I love it.
Yeah, The Avengers is a fun romp. I just got that last week and watched it and I really liked it. Definitely full of Whedon humor, which makes it even better. Plus, he did a great job of getting all of those characters (and actors) to work well together on screen,
I learned about Firefly when the movie "Serenity" came out in 2005-ish. So, pretty much same here! And well, glad to hear you got back in one piece!
You know you have a good show when rewatching it for the n-th time still doesn't make it boring; plus, there are some nice novels out these days. They're not officially endorsed by Joss Whedon, but still nicely written. A good read... and the best part is, if you have something like a Kindle, they're free!
And yes, he did a great job with the Avengers characters. Absolutely hillarious to watch (and entertaining, of course).

Thank you. It's an unusual design, but I think it works OK. It has that "freighter aura".
Yes it was! Thank you.
