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.
She just... she just did the math.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

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?

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

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.

I delurk, therefore I am.
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]

Thanks for the info, guys. What set me to wondering was I saw the RQG:
RIVER
She understands. She doesn't comprehend.
And for some reason it made me feel like a stunned Joss was saying those words in response to Firefly's cancellation.
