Did You Know?
| Trivia | The two-hour Serenity (2002) was originally intended as the pilot for the show. The FOX network however decided not to air it as they wanted a pilot with a more action-packed feel to it. With exactly one weekend to write a new pilot, executive producers Joss Whedon and Tim Minear wrote The Train Job (2002), which appeared first on the show. A slightly retooled version of "Serenity" was later showed as an origins story after Firefly (2002) had been canceled. See more » |
| Goofs | When Serenity leaves the planet, its running lights are switched: the port lights are green when they should be red and the starboard lights are red when they should be green. See more » |
