Synopsis:

The Chronicles of Serenity follows the story of Malcolm Reynolds, a soldier who fought for the losing side of the Unification War. After losing his faith in the bloodiest battle of the war, he takes to the skies in a firefly-class transport ship seeking whatever jobs he can get to keep flying. Enter a ragtag crew and some passengers with secrets of their own and you have the beginning of an epic 3-part adventure that mixes Sci-Fi and Westerns like never before.


Intentions:

My purpose for this edit was not to improve on the perfection of the show Firefly. I wanted to bring a more abridged version of the story that looks closely at the effects the 'Battle of Serenity Valley' had on Mal and his inner faith, as well as the complete arc of River and the secret she carries inside of her.


Change List:

-Added text prologue explaining the war -After the war scene, I added in the deleted aftermath scene from the DVD -Added music to the aftermath deleted scene -We now fast forward a year to Mal showing Zoe the ship he just bought -Title music is a brief clip of the theme from Serenity the movie -We watch the crew come together from the scenes of Out of Gas -Added music to Jayne deciding to join Mal -Following Jayne joining the crew we fast forward to "Four Years After Unification" -Cut Simon saying the group he got involved with rescued River since this contradicts the big scene of him breaking her out in Serenity the movie. -Cut out all commercial fades -Inserted deleted scene with Book checking up on River and Simon researching the Battle at Serenity Valley (Added music for both scenes) -Added the Firefly theme song as played during the credits from Serenity the movie as an intro and then after Mal speaks the last lines of the pilot the theme song as sung in the show kicks in and we see a brief look at Serenity flying before cutting to credits.


Additional Notes:

Added in both deleted scenes from the pilot as well as scenes from the episode 'Out of Gas'.
