Can you believe that it has been 10 years since the launch of Firefly?
For those of you unfamiliar, Firefly is the short-lived FOX series from Joss Whedon (the man behind Buffy, Angel and Dollhouse) that starred Nathan Fillion (Castle), Morena Baccarin (Homeland), Gina Torres (Suits), Summer Glau (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), Adam Baldwin (Chuck), Ron Glass (Barney Miller), Jewel Staite (Stargate Atlantis) and Sean Maher (The Playboy Club).
Well, it has and according to the folks over at Firefly: The 10th Anniversary, it was back on Tuesday, March 5, 2002, that filming on Firefly began, officially launching what would go on to become one of the most infamously short-lived television series of all time, albeit one with a seemingly long-lived, and very busy, fandom.
To commemorate a decade of flying, Firefly: The 10th Anniversary will tip you to celebrations both major and minor, post obscure ephemera from back in the day, and maybe finagle a guest post or two — from those who made the show, those who watched the show, and those who helped make ten years of Firefly fandom what it was and continues to be.

Can’t Stop the Serenity is also celebrating the 10th anniversary with a mini contest. We’re asking people what their first memory of Firefly is. Details at http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com
