[NEWS] - Finding Life After Firefly
Stan Jensen
Morena Baccarin, who stars in the upcoming Fox supernatural series
Still Life, told SCI FI Wire that the show has a surprisingly
lighthearted tone. "It's really just a beautiful show about humanity,"
the former Firefly star said in an interview at the Los Angeles Comic
Book and Science Fiction Convention. "I think it can be dark at times,
but in those moments of sorrow we really find a lot of comedy, and it
has a good combination of both."
Baccarin is best known for her role as high-class interstellar
prostitute Inara Serra on Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss
Whedon's canceled SF western Firefly. Still Life is a one-hour drama
from Buffy executive producer Marti Noxon and centers on a family
dealing with the death of their oldest son, Jake, who watches over
them from beyond the grave. Baccarin plays Jake's former fiancee. She
recently completed filming the first seven episodes on location in
Vancouver, B.C.
Baccarin said the show has been favorably compared to HBO's critically
acclaimed series Six Feet Under, which also examines the subject of
death, albeit from a less grave point of view. "A lot of people have
been comparing it to Six Feet Under, because it's somewhat dark, but
it's not depressing," she said. "It's very lifelike. You wouldn't just
necessarily be crying your eyes out all the time." Still Life is
expected to debut on Fox at midseason.

Part of me perversely hopes the show sucks. That way, Fox will keep it
on the air and I'll get to look a Morena on TV every week.
If it's any good, it'll get cancelled and I'll lose myy preccciousss
again.
Seriously, I hope it does well. She deserves success.

Am I the only person who cannot get used to seeing photos of Morena
Baccarin in normal clothes and make-up. I have got so use to seeing
her beautifully turned out in all the gorgeous dresses that Inara used
to wear, jeans and t-shirts just do not look right. To paraphrase
what Terry Pratchett said in "Pyramids", you can put a beautiful woman
in a skimpy outfit, and she is attractive, but it is not until she is
in layers of silk, lace and brocade that she becomes gorgeous.

Well it's a supernatural series on Fox. Either way, it's doomed.
