My husband looks a LOT like the actor who plays Wash, so that particular scene was really difficult for me to take, even more so because I liked Wash a lot as a character.
I like to joke that there was a popular uprising where the Red Shirts took over and forced the Gold Shirts to be the buttmonkeys of the system. The movie era uniforms (where everybody wore red jackets) was obviously a failed attempt at reform to avert the oncoming uprising.
So yeah, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Love this thing.
Alright, call me a party pooper, but the lore universes of Star Trek and Firefly shouldn’t mix; ever. Someone should throw that flashing red blasphemy text from the recent post with Robert Pattinson onto this one.
I’m a Browncoat, but I don’t agree. As long as the shirt assignments are correct, I’m cool. Besides, I would pay money to hear Simon say, “It’s worse than that; he’s dead, Mal.” or something.
And not so much a ripoff as an homage, I would think. Seeing as how Bebop is about bounty hunters and the Firefly crew have almost all had bounties on their heads at one point or another. But both Cowboy Bebop and Firefly being “space westerns” puts them in a small, yet-to-be-explored genre that more people need to create stuff for.
As a fan of both shows (though woefully undereducated in Trek lore, just started to watch Original and haven’t seen much beyond a few scattered episodes of the other series), I find this concept… intriguing. It would imply that the crew are on the right side of the law, rather than outlaws, which was part of their charm. But I could definitely see Mal as a starship captain known for disrespecting authority and having controversial taste in crew members.
…Actually that sounds like it would be a pretty good series.
Not sure River or Inarra should be in a uniform – neither was technically part of the crew initially. Inarra was NEVER part of the crew, technically. River became part of the crew after Wash… still can’t say it… so – if we’re pre-Serenity, River and Inarra should be in tacky clothes that have absolutely NO function and could not easily be worn in real life and have to be taped in place, like original Trek did to most of their female guest stars!!
And further… if we’re going with the idea that Inarra is ‘medical,’ as in “counselor,” (which I think would be appropriate), then they should be in TNG outfits and colors, River & Jayne would be in Security colors, and Book should be in a Guinan outfit!!!!!! That’d be a screaming HOOT!!!!
Meanwhile, putting all the Firefly bashers on my “first against the wall when the revolution comes” list.
The fact that Firefly only got 14 episodes, while “The Bachelor” has had 14 seasons, is the best argument that human civilization has failed and needs to be destroyed.
The only thing that’s saving you meatbags from extinction is that you brought “Futurama” back.
Does it bother anyone else that they put Kaylee’s head on a black body? It makes me giggle a little, but it also supports the argument that the two cultures can’t be fused perfectly.
I’m clearly the only person here who has no idea what “Firefly” is or why it is a “nerdgasm” that they are in Star Trek uniforms. Perhaps I shall use teh Google machine and do some websearch.
I’d love to see someone do this with the SG-Atlantis mob. All colour coded.
Red – Command(Zoey & Mal), Blue – Science(?Book/Inara?), Yellow – Medics(Simon), Green – Engineers(Kaylee), Black – Marines/Etc (Jayne & River). Or something. IYKWIM.
*hyperventilating* OMG OMG OMG! Total nerdgasm!!
Lol ino rite!
So… BEAUTIFUL! The traditional velour, and everyone in the appropriate colors! *weeps*
That’s the kicker right there, that they got all the colors right and even the rank stripes!
I need this BIG for my desktop!!! MUST HAVE!!!!
This is SO AWESOME! WHERE IS THE FAVORITE BUTTON?!
In what universe does Jayne outrank Kayley?
unfortuately he does. when both Mal and Zoe are gone Jayne gets left in charge.
however the one time that becomes significant Simon drugs him so he doesnt get to give any orders.
what sucks is this actually looks really frackin awsome
Shouldn’t Wash be in a red shirt?
That was my first thought.
poor Wash *sniffle*
aww! Leave poor wash alone!
My husband looks a LOT like the actor who plays Wash, so that particular scene was really difficult for me to take, even more so because I liked Wash a lot as a character.
Wash is the pilot, pilots are command. Look at Sulu.
Shouldn’t Book be in a red shirt as well?(for the same reason as Wash)
Is there a bigger version out there so I can have this as my Wallpaper?
Bigger version: http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6fowyQk9h1qbykh0o1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0RYTHV9YYQ4W5Q3HQMG2&Expires=1281054551&Signature=zcRNoVMcKWdn5dshJAjXq5v4xT0%3D
Much thanks for the big version!
Does anyone know of a clean version without the creases/weathering?
I like the creases/weathering makes it look vintage! : )
Shouldn’t Kaylee be in a yellow shirt?
Kaylee is Engineering. Scotty wears red.
@Roxy – Red is Engineering; gold is Command; blue is Science/Medical. Kaylee’s role is most like Scotty, who was in Engineering.
If gold is always command, why did Picard and Riker wear red in TOS?
the uniform colors changed. in the TNG era, red is command, gold is security/ops, blue is still science/medical.
I like to joke that there was a popular uprising where the Red Shirts took over and forced the Gold Shirts to be the buttmonkeys of the system. The movie era uniforms (where everybody wore red jackets) was obviously a failed attempt at reform to avert the oncoming uprising.
So yeah, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Love this thing.
It got changed for The next Gen. these are Original shirts and colors.
Neither Picard nor Riker ever appeared in TOS.
Nope, in TOS engineers wore red, just look at Scottie.
This just made my day. And my day really needed to be made.
River was right. He does look better in red.
^^win. Poor Jayne though I admit he deserved that.
By the way, so does she…
look better in red I mean.
Alright, call me a party pooper, but the lore universes of Star Trek and Firefly shouldn’t mix; ever. Someone should throw that flashing red blasphemy text from the recent post with Robert Pattinson onto this one.
Any other Browncoats out there agree with me?
I’m a Browncoat, but I don’t agree. As long as the shirt assignments are correct, I’m cool. Besides, I would pay money to hear Simon say, “It’s worse than that; he’s dead, Mal.” or something.
“I’m a doctor, not a gunslinger damnit!”
and
“He’s dead, Mal”
And I’d have loved to see Mal shirtless a bit more.
Well, Captain, it would seem that somebody thought it was a good idea. And this is not Blasphemy, this is fanfic. Nothing wrong with imagination.
Speaking of Fanfic; Am I alone in wanting the TARDIS to land on Firefly?
I would not necessarily say “Blasphemy” but I would still see Mal and company as outsiders in the Trek universe, not as a Federation crew.
I guess that’s what I meant to say, you wouldn’t catch Cap’n Mal in a Federation/Alliance costume unless he was pulling a heist.
Perhaps blasphemy was too strong of a word.
Cheers all!
Oh Firefly, the poor Outlaw Star ripoff.
I would say more of a Cowboy Bebop rip off. Outlaw Star while good in its own right wasn’t quite as epic.
And not so much a ripoff as an homage, I would think. Seeing as how Bebop is about bounty hunters and the Firefly crew have almost all had bounties on their heads at one point or another. But both Cowboy Bebop and Firefly being “space westerns” puts them in a small, yet-to-be-explored genre that more people need to create stuff for.

No its Outlaw Star.
Malcolm Reynolds- Gene Starwind
Kaylee- James “Jim” Hawking
River Tam -Melfina
Jayne Cobb- Aisha Clanclan
Zoe Washburne- Suzuka
The only real difference is Firefly got canned before they could rip it off more.
That’s amazing. My faith in this site is (almost) restored
i had never heard of this show until two days ago when my step mom bought and now i see it everywhere, except on t.v.
Ouch.
(But actually, if you watch the right shows, you can still at least see references to it sometimes. Halloween episode of Castle, anyone?
)
First Daily Squee: The pic itself.
Second Daily Squee: Your comment! I -loved- the Castle Halloween episode, for exactly that reason!
I…I…. wow…awesome.
Am I the only who hates to see Zoe like that? She would refuse to wear a uniform like that!
I was thinking just the same, you could try to get her into that but I’m pretty sure you’d end up dead for your troubles.
Not necessarily. The that getup does have some slink.
As far as I recall, Zoe had no issues with sexy. Her only issue was that sexy dresses ain’t very conductive for field operations.
the only good thing about either: the women
I do believe that I have just totally, utterly lost my s**t.
I am crying over how awesome this is.
No, really, I am.
Not floods of tears, but enough to blur my screen…
that is not funny

Kudos to the photo-shop. It is brilliant.
Guh. Wha. Holy mother of toast that is awesome
BLASPHEMY.
Still the best looking crew in the Verse!
Ugh. I thought Abrams messed up Star Trek. Turns out it COULD have been worse.
Nerdgasm.
Meanwhile, putting all the Firefly bashers on my “first against the wall when the revolution comes” list.

Firefly: Too good to last.
Am I the only one who have absolutely no idea what this is about?
Apparently
I just ah..nerdgasmed..a bit..there. X0
My brain is now fully enveloped in the bosom of insanity.
Does it bother anyone else that they put Kaylee’s head on a black body? It makes me giggle a little, but it also supports the argument that the two cultures can’t be fused perfectly.

LOLOLOL Zoe in a minidress. Not in this lifetime. Or, you know… that one.
Why not? it’s got some slink to it…
I’d love to see someone do this with the SG-Atlantis mob. All colour coded.
Red – Command(Zoey & Mal), Blue – Science(?Book/Inara?), Yellow – Medics(Simon), Green – Engineers(Kaylee), Black – Marines/Etc (Jayne & River). Or something. IYKWIM.
Yes PLZ! This site needs more Stargate!!
Win.
Shouldn’t Wash and Book be redshirts? Just sayin’….
ah, adam. *drool*
ahahaha awesome! and ya i was pissed when wash died
Maybe this is what could’ve happened if the Independents won the war.
Love it.
Kaylee – Still hotter than Inara, even in Starfleet uniforms.
What the…? No, Shepherd and Wash get red shirts!
Photoshop god!!!!!!!!!!
seriousley who ever did this is a photoshop god
Why isnt r2 d2 in it? doesnt he have a purple shirt? loljk
I want this poster. I WANT IT!
LLink for the big picture is not working, anyone have a functioning link to it? I’d LOVE a bigger/higer res version…..thanks ahead of time
I would have given all my money away to have this poster when i was younger lol . Nice one.
