Line 1:

== Zoe is [[Angel
So when Jasmine gets owned by Connor in Season 4 of Angel, she is badly hurt but not killed, after all her physiology is very unlike a human's. She also has a minor [[Healing Factor]] and is most likely not ageing. After having laid low to regenerate for a very long time - say, 500 years - she has regained her ability to look and behave like a human. She still lacks her mind control-powers due to Angel's finding of her true name, and so does not pretend to be the messiah.
Line 10:
== Wash didn't die ==
Taking out the whole funeral scene, all that's there is that Wash was [[Impaled
* But they had a funeral for him to let people think that he's dead while he's in his critical condition.
* Ignoring the [[Fridge Logic]], I kinda like this theory.
Line 28:
== The Pax is one of the [[Prototype (
They were trying another Hope, only this time, it was planetwide and in the air. This one killed most, but the rest... well, you know. Oh, and one of the cast is Mercer, most likely Mal. River was an attempt to create a Psychic Runner.
== One of the moons is [[Borderlands
It's not like Borderlands has enough backstory to refute this claim, and we didn't exactly go into all the corporations in the Firefly universe, so it's possible.
* Seems unlikely. Borderlands definitely had weirder guns than anything seen on Firefly, plus the Guardians of the Vault don't really fit with the lack of aliens in the 'Verse. Also, The Clap-traps are definitely intelligent, and the ''Serenity'' Roleplaying game mentions that there are no human level intelligent robots.
== Malcolm Reynolds is descended from [[
Well it seems to fit: the [[Badass Longcoat]], the [[Star-Crossed Lovers|inability to cope with relationships]], the [[Ho Yay|suspiciously tension-laden bonds with other men]], and the brooding! Dear God, the brooding!
* I'd suspect Caleb before Angel.
Line 80:
There's more than just a slight resemblance. If we're giving her 600 years, why not give her 1000?
* Totally possible, but there's the eyebrows. Sure, Da Vinci COULD have left them out, but Inara's are arguably one of her more striking features. It seems odd that someone with eyebrows as bold as hers would be the subject of a painting that's noted for being absent of them.
** She might have been shaving them at that time. Styles and fashions change, after all. In one of the cast commentaries for ''[[
== Inara is Faye from ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''. ==
Line 115:
== Firefly is a history of the ''[[Dune]]'' universe. ==
There are clearly numerous organised gangs, and the Companions are dead ringers for Bene Gesserit. Smugglers are common. Everyone's afraid of a threat that lives on the outskirts (Reavers/Honored Matres). River is a "psychic" - both a powerful warrior and a girl who can do complex calculations in her head: a pre-Mentat and a pre-Bene Gesserit. River's "fixing" [[
For further evidence, Firefly does not have faster-than-light travel by [[Word of God]]. Why? Norma Cenva has yet to discover the Holtzman Effect that enabled faster-than-light space-folding engines, which themselves were unsafe without spice-overdosed prescient Guild Navigators.
Line 228:
== River was being turned into a super-powered [[Repo!
A dystopian government with hinted control by a faceless corporation? Blue Sun is obviously a branch of (or a cover for) Gene Co, and they thought they could make a perfect legal assassin out of River...
Line 329:
*** Or, because it's ''not the native language'' of the main characters. They speak it poorly because they just plain speak it poorly.
*** Case in point: French loanwords in English. Especially a couple of centuries after their introduction. Or for that matter, ''Chinese'' words - how do you mix up "Beijing" and "Peking"?
**** Same way [[Spell My Name
== Kaylee is a distant descendant of [[Death Note
Proof: they both love strawberries. She even gives Book passage on Serenity for a small box of them.
Line 400:
#Having repaired its economy, humanity returns (post-''Firefly'') to Earth-That-Was to rebuild, and a descendant of the Fry line (a great''<sup>n</sup>''-nephew of Fry senior) named Hubert Farnsworth is still running an interplanetary courier business, though now legitimate, when he meets his great''<sup>n</sup>''-uncle, who true to the family line takes up residence as the lovable [[Redheaded Hero|redheaded]] [[Unfazed Everyman|everyman]] in a [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] {{smallcaps|[[In Space]]!}}.
#The progress from 2000-2500 is much less impressive than from 2500-3000, but that's Moore's Law for you. The invention of robots would have been a quantum leap, for one thing. In ''Firefly'', people have already started to refer to human-occupied space as "the 'verse", indicating their sights are set on loftier things. They just haven't discovered the aliens yet (the Martians were... er... hiding?)
#[[Serenity
# Final proof? Personal mantra, Phlip J Fry: I'm walking on sunshine! Personal mantra, Hoban Washburne: I am a leaf on the wind!
Line 451:
== [[
Think about it. Both of them are sci-fi shows that were [[Too Good to Last]]. A letter-writing campaign by the small cult-following ensued, but ultimately failed. However, shortly afterwards, the popularity started to grow, as people were given new opportunities to watch it. Eventully, a movie was made, but was in one way or another unsuccessful. Does this sound familiar? It should. Doubly so.
* So hopefully, a decade or so down the line, someone does an equally good remake of the original series?
Line 480:
== Jayne is a [[Cargo Ship|firearm-sexual]]. ==
He sleeps with women all the time because sleeping with a gun (or at least the sort of gun he could and would sleep with, which is something with a sufficient bore size and loaded, ready-to-shoot) would more than likely leave two four-inch holes in his pelvis where there weren't any before, and because he's that kind of guy (boorish, hedonistic, intent on proving his masculinity in as heterosexual a way as possible). And I do mean "sleeping with", he already ''literally'' sleeps with them.
* This brings a whole new meaning to Jayne claiming that Vera is "miles more worthy" than Saffron, and Mal's horrified reaction to that. In the short story Take the Sky, it's suggested Mal really DOES think Jayne cargo-ships guns, and speculates that's the way Jayne [[Out
Line 619:
== [[The Chronicles of Riddick]] is set in the 'Verse about a thousand years on from [[Firefly]]. ==
They both have a used future and some level of psychics. Riddick has higher tech yes but I could see most of it evolving from what exists in the 'Verse. In both, they still use projectile weapons except for a specific group. The Alliance in Firefly, who still primarily use projectile weapons, and the Necromongers in Riddick. Richard B. Riddick is a direct descendant of Jayne Cobb. Jayne Cobb was the first Furyan. Imam was a descendant of Shepherd Derrial Book thanks to an indiscretion back before Book found God. Jack/Kira is descended from River. Fry is descended from Kaylee and Simon. They used Kaylee's last name when they got married to help avoid Alliance trouble and the spelling got bastardized over the the intervening millennium or so. The guys who run Crematoria? Descended from Niska. The Captain at the beginning of Pitch Black? Descended from Wash. (Apparently getting {{spoiler|[[Impaled
* The ancestry stuff is a bit far fetched but that the Alliance turned into the Necromongers and the psychic abilities of the Lord Marshall could be the results of the experiments they did to River.
Line 667:
== Firefly shares the same Universe as [[
Set 500 years after Farscape finishes. The knowledge John Criton left on the moon was damaged, so they could't quite develop faster than light travel, and as it turn out, Earth is a lot further away from the rest of the Farscape Verse than originally thought.
* I always thought that they were at the other end of the Galaxy, if not another one altogether.
Line 686:
== The REAL reason Shepherd Book had his change of heart was that [[The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
Now he does unto others as was done unto him.
* He seems awfully quick to shoot people in the kneecap in War Stories.
