I just ran across this site http://www.mosquitoverse.com

It's hilarious. They are doing a short film spoofing Firefly (all in good fun, of course)
Check it out.

I just love their theme song:

"Take my dog, take my cat
Western without cowboy hats

Look at me I’m on TV
You can’t take this show from me

Take our doctor, make him squeal
I’m told our whore is quite a deal

We say Zed instead of Zee
You can’t take this show from me

They’re airing baseball yet again
We might not break episode ten

But you can’t take this show from me"

hee, hee. Too funny.

OMFG that’s high-larious! I’m nearly looking forward to this as much as I’m looking forward to the BDM!

When is the full version out?

Based on that trailer I think something very bad is going to happen to "Dr. Samuel"!

I'm thinkin' sumbuddy's about to get sued-to-death by F*x. Those guys are really serious about keeping Firefly in its grave...

From what I’ve read the people who made “Mosquito” are in Canada and hopefully out of reach of the FuX Corporation. Plus Parody is generally considered “Fair Use” under US Copyright law.

Yep - I agree with Gunrunner - Mosquito is parody of the likes of "Galaxy Quest." As far as I know, that's fair game legally whether you say 'zed' OR 'zee'.

As one who has made spoofs himself I know it comes from love, but spoofing works best on things that take themselves seriously. Spoofing anything Joss is difficult, since his material is so self-aware. No spoof ever made would be as funny as the funny moments in his original work.
Sorry, I just don't see the need.

Firstly, this was first mentioned weeks ago, or is this a crazy de ja vu?
Secondly, you are a party pooper! You don't see the need? They are honouring joss's work, and tho i've only seent he opening credit pilot type trailer, they're doing a good job. Okay, it's never gonna be immensly wittier than JW himself, but that's okay. It's pretty funny i reckon. Lighten up!

Gotta say, I'm totally with The Duke on this one. My feeling has consistently been, if you can't poke fun at yourself (if Browncoats can't poke fun at themselves), then you're probably psychopathically aggessive to some degree, and you ought not poke fun at others.

I thought the Mosquito trailer was entertaining, funny, even, and well done, especially considering the amateur production. Bravo Mosquitofolk! I patiently await the finished flick, and confidently assume that when I view it, it will brighten my day.

And, damn, doesn't the actress portraying the Kaylee-alternate look like a dead ringer, eh?

My computer is acting slow today. But my first thought is: HOW DARE ANYONE SPOOF "Firefly." my next thought is: The teaser would be funnier if I could view it!
