If you watch these, then watch the entire series of Firefly, and then watch the film Serenity, then you'll get the full, chronological Firefly experience!
WOW! I never knew these existed! A real treat to be enjoyed in the hindsight of the show and movie. If only there was more...😥 But at least, I found these. Thank you!
Wow, thank you! I completely missed these when they came out. AND, while watching them, I completely missed the fact that the doctor is Joss W. What a revelation!
"Will I still be allowed to dance?" To this day that still gives me goosebumps. In the TV series there's a moment in the episode "Safe" where she does in fact get to dance. On her own terms. To hell with the people around her. She may not be "allowed" to dance, but she doesn't require permission. She finds a moment when she can, no matter how briefly, even after everything the "Alliance" did to her. Everything they took from her. All the garbage they shoved into her mind. In the movie Serenity, when she saves her friends from The Reavers, she does so through dance. Weapons in hand, but she doesn't need permission. "Will I still be allowed to dance?" Yes, dear. You got to dance.
Just finished re watching the series and this came up (since our devices listen to us lol...) Thanks for the upload! I love River. She is my favourite character.
Thank you. I prefer things in order. These should be added to the back of the series dvd. Time to gain some new hard core brown coat fans to the ranks.
You are quite welcome. I knew that they were originally shown online in reverse order to drum up viral mystery and hype for the release of the film "Serenity", but I felt that after all this time, it was better fan service to now show them in consecutive order to provide some gritty background for why River Tam is the way she is.
I'm glad you did. Between these virals, created to promote the film Serenity, the series, and the film Serenity itself, now you have the full set of Firefly/Serenity crunchy, shiny goodness!
I've been a fan forever and I love that Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles also incoperated her dancing into Cameron's character. The look on Derek's face says it all.
Never seen these. Where did they come from? Also they remind me of the scenes she did in Sarah Connor Chronicles about the girl they used for her Terminator model
They were viral videos that Joss Whedon created to drum up buzz for the upcoming release of the film "Serenity".

The doctor that is interviewing her and that gets killed by River in the end of the series of clips is actually played by Joss Whedon himself.
I think it is more powerful the way it was intended with 416(?) first. You don't want to watch this before the series, it would spoil too much. Just my opinion.
Powerful as a viral in the order they were first shown in, yes, I agree. As it left the viewer thinking "WTF is going to happen next?" But for seasoned Browncoats like me, in the sequential order I've provided, to add interesting and useful backstory, before watching the series and then the film. Your mileage may vary. I see your point, though.
@@ObservantPiratePlus Let's just say both are useful. The original order for the intended dramatic effect, the chronological order for a clear sense of River's progression. Thanks for uploading this!
Nice one pal , The girl that changed soooo many young girls lives .. how many big name actresses ,can say that .. Summer has a massive presence talent genuinely awesome , glad she found her time for her family shes wanted for so long ,
I will watch anything with Summer Glau in it. I am still very emotionally hooked on TSCC, the Sarah Connor Chronicles. From day one I was hooked. Summer is so good as a Terminator!
I just happened upon this. I think it was one of the most innovative series ever put on the screen. The chemistry for the players was magic. They were REAL! I have the series, movie and books. Now I've found this incredible bit of work and my jaw hit the floor. Fox...what douche bags! I don't believe it can be revived and be the same magic. It's about family and the love of family. There's a lovely young lady Jess, th-cam.com/video/1y9BI81Ai7E/w-d-xo.html that blows me away with her portrayal of River. Brett rocks Mal. They are SO good at this so MAYBE Disney COULD bring it back. Don't know if Joss would still do it but I'd watch.

@@ObservantPiratePlus sir the part that bothers me about this is that one, it was Never seen in either the series or the film, and secondly, we never really had the chance to really see a full and complete background on all of the lead characters at all so there was far too much left Unsaid andUnexplored !!!
@@thomasvalenta1700 yeah Firefly was originally meant to be 8 seasons and explore each character over the seasons. There is a follow up comic (Shepherd's Tale) that gives you Book's past. My Dad and I had a bet on what he was, and we both lost.
What? Who? Where did this come from? Is it the raw footage to be used for flashbacks? Where was it used in the final series? Brilliant. A one-woman masterclass
This was a series of viral videos, originally shown in reverse order, that were meant to go viral to drum up publicity for the release of the film "Serenity". Fun fact: Joss Whedon plays the doctor interviewing River.

HUGE Firefly fan..... and today was the first time I'd heard of these. Glad to find them, and thank you for putting them in order.
You are welcome!

I think the first clip was the creepiest. Seeing her so put together knowing what will happen. She just wanted to dance😢
Yeah it's brutal

Well said.

Thanks for the upload! I love River. She is my favourite character.
I jumped at the end when River popped up. Also, "I can see you"?
That's fucking terrifying
Yeah, she's a spooky girl, alright.
Hadn't been aware these existed, despite watching many commentaries and interviews. Thanks for the upload.
You are quite welcome!
What is super amazing is that Joss Wheadon, the director, is the interviewer.
Unseen Firefly-related video footage?! That was Fucking Awesome, thanks!
She played that part so well !
Thank you.

@@ObservantPiratePlus It works better with the last one first, then showing how it got there
They are on my serenity box set
Wow. I am shooketh.
Watching the series for my 3-4th? time now and only just found these. :)
I'm glad you did. Between these virals, created to promote the film Serenity, the series, and the film Serenity itself, now you have the full set of Firefly/Serenity crunchy, shiny goodness!
Summer Glau is such a good actress. I became a fan thanks to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Me too.
Had a Huge Crush on her shes a Talented Beautiful Woman I loved her Terminator he Chemistry with Thomas Dekker was out of this World Beautiful 😍 😍😍😍😍
@@battlestar4293 I must admit I have a little crush on her.
I've been a fan forever and I love that Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles also incoperated her dancing into Cameron's character. The look on Derek's face says it all.
@@Headintodreams I became a fan cos of T2. In December, I met Summer Glau.
Just heard about these, wasn't even sure they'd be here. Thank you so much for posting them.
@Graxxor Anandro Vidhelssen Yes, these are canon. That is Joss Whedon playing the counselor. He made these shorts as viral Internet pieces.
I know she was gonna introduce that pen to a part of his body....lol.
Summer Glau is amazing. It was completely believable.
Two by two, hands of blue
Wow Summer Glau is so perfect for this role.
Just makes it more tragic what the alliance did to this character.
Thank you for this.
Morbid and creepifying, I got no problem with. Long as she does it quiet-like.

Amazing acting
1:18 she began to sense something’s off
Yup
you can literally see it in her face

Wow. Thanks for sharing!
Seriously, I wouldn't want Disney to touch this series. After what they did to Star Wars and the MCU, they would just ruin it.
sorry , i think there’s an error in my code’

Yes...and water is wet.

Omg wtf is this I've never seen this shit before! What are these missions!? They training her to assistant fools right? Wow i just seen this!
I like how some people say Summer Glau is loved universally, like the Keanu Reeves of actresses... and now here she kills a guy with a pencil.
Skillz.
Miss Babayaga!
These were not in the movie, I don't think (?)

Hi River :)
That thumbnail makes this show looks way more fucked then what it actually is
Will the crew ever reunite in something like a twenty-year-later sequel?
One can only hope.
Summer Glau.
For those of you who are not intuitive, who do not know what it's like to "SEE" others...I assure you - it is exactly this painful not being heard.
Hideous how they tortured River.
