DRIFTERS ANIME EPISODE SERIES
Where Serenity takes the crew across the Verse and places them in the path of death, destruction, and peril the likes of which they have never seen, “Objects in Space” is the series at its very best-locked on the ship, with only the dynamics of the characters (and one unwelcome intruder) to bear the dramatic weight of the episode.

However, the undeniable humanity present within Episode 10 is missing from the significantly more gritty and dramatized film. River (Summer Glau) and Simon’s (Sean Maher) connection to the overbearing Alliance puts the crew of Serenity in danger, and their efforts to decide what exactly to do with this troubled young woman divides the team, only for their shared love of both River and each other to bring them all back together-and stronger for it-in the end. In many ways, “Object in Space” follows nearly the exact same plot as Firefly ’s continuation film, Serenity. That last episode perfectly captures all the elements that make the series so compelling, and encapsulates exactly why it has remained such a cult hit all these years later. True Firefly fans will know that the correct order, where the events take place chronologically (as it appears on both Hulu and its DVD release, alongside the three unaired gems), means that Episode 10, “Objects in Space,” was the intended Season 1 finale. The series notoriously was aired out of order by FOX, with the pilot episode, “Serenity,” airing as its 11th and final episode-out of the 14 episodes filmed, only 11 hit the airwaves. If you are a fan of Firefly, then you are likely intimately familiar with the series’ fraught life at FOX.Īiring concurrently with then-prolific, now-infamous creator Joss Whedon’s hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer ’s final season in 2002, Firefly follows the crew of Serenity, a “Firefly class” transport ship in a futuristic world where all humans live spread far out in the galaxy after Earth was depleted of resources.
