''{{w|Firefly (TV series)|Firefly}}'' was a television series aired by Fox in 2002 that got cancelled midway through, but it has a large fan base nowadays. The star of the show was Captain Malcolm (or Mal) Reynolds, played by [[Nathan Fillion]]. Other members of his crew were Kaylee (played by [[Jewel Staite]]), the ship's mechanic, Inara Serra (played by {{w|Morena Baccarin}}) was a Companion (or, as Mal would say: whore) that helped ''Serenity'' (the spaceship) gain a landing on many planets that otherwise would have nothing to do with Mal. River Tam (played by [[Summer Glau]]) was the seemingly crazy younger sister of Dr. Simon Tam (played by {{w|Sean Maher}}), and due to her latent psionic powers and the damage from the experiments she had undergone, she was known for making odd, out-of-context statements. Randall is a fan of ''Firefly'', and makes reference to it (and Summer Glau in particular) in various other comics - see under 'Categories' below.

When [[Cueball]] is introduced to the first two women, he learns that they behave in real life as on the Firefly show (Summer is strange and Jewel is a mechanical wizard) - this is why he begins to ask about Morena Baccarin, and also why the other two say "No." before he can finish the question "Is she really a ''prostitute''?". In the last panel, Kaylee apparently wired-up Mal's controller to broadcast on the frequency of Cueball's skateboard, so it took control of his board, where Mal's stood still. (Buy a few RC models ({{w|Radio-controlled model}}) to play with friends and inevitably this will happen. Where two controllers broadcast on the same frequency, so the two models are confused by the signals they receive.)
