I propose a game: Six Degrees of Firefly.

Much like similarly named games, the object is to connect one actor to another in 6 links or less.

I hope this is the most appropriate forum. If not, please move to the correct forum.

The Rules.
1. The 2 actors to be connected must be players from any Firefly production - episode, Pilot, BDM.
2. The first poster to connect these players in 6 links or less will propose the next Job (selecting the next 2 Firefly players to link).
3. No Firefly production (ep, Pilot, BDM) may be used in an in-between link.
4. Any other movie may be used as a link. Individual episodes of TV are not valid links. However, primary cast of a TV series are allowed. Also, Made-for-TV movies are valid, as well as 2-hour Pilots (except Serenity). For example, Jewel would be a valid link to other primary cast on SG:Atlantis, but not for any link on X-Files. Primary cast would be in the normal show's credits.
5. If a Job has been solved in 6 links or less and a new Job not posted, we must Keep Flying. So, after 3 days have elapsed without a new Job from the last solver, another poster may re-solve the last Job in fewer links than the last solution, and may then propose the new Job.
6. For the sake of manageable thread lengths, every 50th Job (#50, 100, 150, etc) the solver will post the solution on the current thread, but then not the new Job, but will please propose the new Job at the start of a new thread.
7. If a Job has not been solved in 4 days, the proposer may solve their own Job, and propose another.

Example Job:
Mr. Universe Adam Krumholtz to Capt Nathan Fillion.

Adam Krumholtz was in The Santa Clause with 1. Tim Allen,
who was in Galaxy Quest with 2. Justin Long,
who was in Live Free or Die Hard with 3. Bruce Willis,
who was in The Sixth Sense with 4. Joel Haley Osmet,
who was in Forrest Gump with 5. Tom Hanks,
who was in Saving Private Ryan with 6. Nathan Fillion.
(6 degrees)

or
Adam Krumholtz was in The Santa Clause with 1. Judge Reinhold,
who was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High with 2. Nicholas Cage,
who was in Con Air with 3. Danny Trejo,
who was in Halloween with 4. Hanna Hall,
who was in Forrest Gump with 5. Tom Hanks,
who was in Saving Private Ryan with 6. Nathan Fillion.
(6 degrees)

or
Adam Krumholtz was in The Santa Clause with 1. Tim Allen,
who was in Galaxy Quest with 2. Sam Rockwell,
who was in The Green Mile with 3. Tom Hanks,
who was in Saving Private Ryan with 4. Nathan Fillion.
(4 degrees)

Well, how about this :

1 Sean Maher : Living til the End, w/ Stephen Tobolowsky
2 Steven Toblowski : Wild Hogs, w/ Tim Allen
3 Tim Allen : Christmas with the Kranks, w/ Dan Akroyd
4 Dan Akroyd : Pearl Harbor, w/ Tom Sizemore
5 Tom Sizemore : Saving Private Ryan w/ Nathan Fillion

Tough one, as Sean Maher does not have a lot of connects !

(invites the thread starter to pose the next set)

I chose that one to start because I had resolved a 2 or 3 link solution to it, figured that would be easy enough. It would have used his primary cast connection in a TV series.

To keep flying, I'll accept your invite, this one should be easier in terms of connectability.

Job #2: Sheriff Gregg Henry (Train Job) to Jayne Adam Baldwin.

Ooops !

I misread the rules, read them too quick ...
I thought you could use movies,
so I was ignoring TV entirely ...

So, it was not "supposed" to be that hard

Ho Forge! The name Drill Bit mean anything to you?

Gina Torres was in Matrix Revolutions with Keanu Reeves
Reeves did a voice for the Animatrix as did Melinda Clark

Hows about Ron Glass and Mark Sheppard.

Job #4 Badger Mark Sheppard to Book Ron Glass.

Mark Sheppard was in Lady In the Box with 1. Paige Rowland (wonderful movie if you haven't seen),
who was in Glimmer Man with 2. Steven Tobolowsky,
who was in Wild Hogs with 3. Steve Landesburg,
who was a primary cast member of Barney Miller with 4. Ron Glass.
(4 degrees)

There was no valid solution to Job #2, although one does exist. The solution posted used non-primary cast in a TV series for both links, both of which are invalid. That post proposed Job #3 Zoe to Nandi. The first solution posted for this Job was also invalid, using non-primary cast in a TV series, and "Guest Stars", totalling 4 different invalid links. This post proposed Job #4.
However, a 2nd solution for Job #3 was posted with apparently valid links. I don't link with Voice Only roles, but this is much more valid than the previous solution. This post Proposed Job #4 as Book to Badger.
In the interest of Keep Flying, under the current situation the most recent valid proposed Job is accepted and solved.

Job #5 is "Lenore" Nectar Rose (BDM) to "Womack" Richard Burgi (The Message).

Ok so I guess I am not following your logic on this.

My reply for Gregg Henry and Adam Baldwin were both linked through David James Elliot (Harmon Rabb) from JAG, main character.

Then the solution to mine:

Gina Torres worked with (1) Ron Livingston on "Standoff" (Matt Flannery) main character
Ron Livingston guest starred on an episode of "House" with (2) Lisa Edelstein (Dr. Lisa Cuddy) main character
Lisa Edelstein appared on an episode of "Without a Trace" with (3) Anthony LaPaglia (Jack Malone) main character
Anthony LaPaglia guest starred on an episode of CSI with (4) William Peterson (Gil Grissom) main Character
William Peterson worked with (5) Melinda Clark when she was a recurring guest star on CSI

From the way I read your instructions this seemed valid to me, but if I'm wrong then I am not sure what you were looking for

This is just another sign of your tragic space dementia, all paranoid and crotchety...breaks the heart.

On the show JAG, Links between primary cast members would be valid between
David James Elliott,
Catherine Bell,
Patrick Labyorteaux,
John M Jackson,
Chuck Carrington,
who would have all been credited in the main title sequence. There may be more that I'm not aware of, but I think the 2 you used were merely "Guest Stars" or single episode characters. This is also why Jewel would not have been a valid reference on X-Files.

I understand that Jewel Is now a primary cast member on Stargate: Atlantis and would be a valid link with other primary cast like:
Joe Flanigan,
Rachel Luttrell,
David Hewlett,
Torri Higginson,
Paul McGillion,
Jason Momoa,
and perhaps others I'm not aware of.

On Firefly, the primary cast members were Nathan, Gina, Alan, Adam, Jewel, Morena, Ron, Sean, Summer - although they cannot be used as links in this game. Everybody else on the series would not be considered primary cast.
In movies, every bit part counts. Most games like this don't allow TV, but I thought that excluding "Barney Miller" for Ron would be a waste.
