Firefly bravely asks the question “What if an entire space crew was autistic”

Does anyone see my vision. Can anyone hear me. Are you picking up what I am putting down.

Firefly - It's one of my favorite shows of all time, so much so, I named my blog after it.

In the early 2000s, my dad liked the Firefly theme song so much that he went to the trouble of figuring out how to get around the copy protection on his dvd box set of the show just so he could get a recording of just the song by itself that he could burn onto a cd with a bunch of other regular, not-theme-song songs he liked to listen to while driving.

An unintended consequence of this is that I grew up just assuming that it was just like. a normal country song. Like, the first time I listened to it I was young enough that I didn’t really have any understanding of normal music conventions, so I never payed any mind to how short it was. I thought that “you can’t take the sky from me” was like. a metaphor for the perseverance of the indomitable human spirit or whatever. Without context there was no reason for me to think it was an honest to god space cowboy thing.

I was a lurker in online fandom spaces starting in the early 2010s, and by point jokes and references to Firefly and its cancellation were still relatively common, so from at least age eight onwards I knew about the show, and I knew the song, I just didn’t think that they were in any way related to one another. The thought never even once crossed my mind.

This was the state of all things Firefly related in my head until only a couple of years ago when I finally watched the show and was like “hey wait what the fuck,” when I saw the intro for the first time. For a second I was like “maybe it was a pre-existing song that they just licensed for the show” but no, of course it wasn’t.
