I wouldn't know either if my husband didn't stick the titles under my nose and tell me I'd like them, and he's usually right.
Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
I get yet another toaster. I may not have had time to read b.org for two weeks, nor to read Natter for even longer, but sharing Firefly ? There's always time for that.
Random question: does anyone know or can point me to a list of shooting dates for Firefly? The reason I want to know is that I'm curious if OiS was shot after they knew it was over.
It must have been, because they bumped it up in the shooting order to have it be the last episode.
Am I remembering right that "The Message" was the last one they shot?

Yup. The got the word of cancellation while shooting it.

You also know this was the last because in the interview with the composer he mentioned that the song at the end of the episode was more geared towards the sadness of the ending of the series rather than the funeral.
Many of the shooting scripts have the episode # (may or may not equal episode # as aired; writing order isn't always the same as intended airing order) and revision dates on them, which will at least tell you when they were written (which again, may vary from the order they were shot/aired). You can find the scripts at [link]
