Short mention of Firefly in his review of Superbowl ads, under the Moon Office ad. Not sure if it is ment to be negative or positive, but any mention like this may draw interest into what is Firefly.

I'd say its definitely positive. He said it was his favorite ad. For those who didn't catch said ad, a guy is giving a tour of an office building on the moon (lots of goofy stuff, papers floating everywhere, a guy slurping up his coffee as it drifts out of his cop) and then he takes the people in the tour group outside in space suits and says check out the view. One guy asks, "How will we handle shipping?" when suddenly a a fedex space ship flys up very dramaticlly.

I don't see how it could have been an ad for Firefly as the guy says I mean, maybe the ship remotely resembled Serenity, but thats only remotely. I guess I could see it in flying around in the 'verse if you painted Blue Sun over the Fedex logo.

The ship in the FedEx commercial reminded me more of an Eagle from Space 1999 than anything else.

Somebody should've told the FedEx people that the Moon actually has gravity!

Another Serenity reference, this time on a list of movies geeks should see before they die. Favorable review.
