Jewel Staite (Kaylee): "...I was given a copy of Done The Impossible, a documentary of the Firefly/Serenity journey that was produced by browncoats, featuring browncoats, and it really blew me away."

Michael Fairman (Niska): "I just finished watching the documentary. It is really great work. It wonderfully captures what the magic of Firefly and Serenity is, and how the fans personify that magic. The interviews were enthralling. It made me want to buy the DVDs. We really are a special group on many levels and I’m fortunate and thrilled to be a part of it."

Nathan Fillion (Malcolm Reynolds): "You have to see this."

Terry Sunday: "I was a little hesitant about buying Done The Impossible at first, since I didn’t think a 'fan-produced' DVD could possibly have much to offer. Was I ever wrong! Every Firefly fan should have this."

QuoterGal: "It was moving and sweet – I found just about everyone entirely endearing. The whole thing was pretty inspiring."

Orson Scott Card: Read Full Review. Excerpt: "You can view this documentary as an anthropological adventure, moving you into a culture that is more influential in American life than you think, yet which remains largely invisible – and is ridiculed whenever it surfaces in the local news....Think of it as a freelance "special features" DVD and you'll recognize it as one of the best ever created. Think of it as National Geographic doing a special on one of America's most fascinating tribes, and it'll be even better."

Eclipse Magazine: Read Full Review. They rated the Movie a B, Soundtrack A, DVD B+, and Special Features A. Excerpt: "This is one of those 'if-I-had-a-camera-I'd-do-this' films that usually wind up boring people to tears at family gatherings. The big difference between those vanity projects and Done The Impossible is simple - Done The Impossible is a very good documentary. If you know a Browncoat who doesn't have Done The Impossible, or its soundtrack, you can't go wrong giving them one or both. Chances are that you'll enjoy them, too. If you are a Browncoat and don't have one or both... what were you thinking?"

Sci Fi Weekly: Read Full Review. They awarded the DVD an "A". Exerpt: "Firsthand accounts of cancellation come not only from the cast and crew, but from the fans as well. The Browncoat Campaign, a case of guerilla marketing that many might learn from, was launched after Fox's own attempt at promotion, which was nothing more than an online banner ad contest. The campaign included fans buying multiple Firefly DVD sets and putting them into the hands of unsuspecting soon-to-be fans. Even SF novelist Orson Scott Card received a set from his son, and declares Firefly 'the greatest science-fiction television series ever created' during his interview. Another nice touch is the documentary's attention to Universal vice chairman Mary Parent's instrumental role in making the film Serenity a reality, proving that the good guys can indeed be on the other side of the board meeting, as well."

DVD Talk: Read Full Review. Exerpt: "What is interesting about the Browncoats is that it's more than just fans watching from home. It's the writers and producers and actors and musicians and effects experts and everyone involved with the project. Their love for the work they've done cannot be ignored, and it oozes all over the convention floors and message boards and this documentary. When you see an interview or a panel with someone from this show, and he or she really gets honest about the feelings inside, you realize that it's as important to those who actually created the work as it is to those who watch it. It is more than just another job, but something truly special that is meaningful in their lives. The fans are a huge part of it, pestering executives, flaunting their buying power, and giving emotional support to those fighting the battle on the inside, but at the end of the day, Serenity exists because people like Joss Whedon and Mary Parent refused to let it die, and while this film is mostly about the fans, it does a decent job presenting just how this cancelled television series actually became a film in terms of the real business behind it, and kudos to them for interviewing Mary Parent, one of the unsung heroes of this tale."

DVD Talk – Easter Eggs: "Finally (for the main DVD, that is), there is a Trivia Quiz ... If you get 10 out of 10 questions right on the "Hard" level (I'm embarrassed to say that I did), you reach the first Easter Egg on the disc. I won't spoil what it is, simply because it is so absolutely hilarious and unlike anything I've ever seen...

Egg #2 can be accessed from the DVD Credits section by pressing the up arrow on the Bonus Menu button. This is by far the most creative, most hilarious, most downright geeky Easter Egg access I have ever seen, and I'm still laughing at it as I type this. If you can get past this, not only will you get 30 lives, but you'll see a video of some outtakes and additional material (9:27) that didn't make it into the final product. This piece is edited very, very well, and it is absolutely hilarious.

Egg #3 can be found while watching the documentary itself. When you see the image of Thor pop up, click on him. You'll be treated to a beautiful segment (6:04) that chronicles his historic moment in Firefly fandom. Egg #4 is a trailer for the documentary (1:45) and can be reached by hitting the right arrow from the Main Menu button on the Bonus Features menu."

HONORS

Done The Impossible was featured in Firefly: Still Flying from Titan Books in the "Fan Films" section. They interviewed Brian Wiser who said as a producer, "We couldn't let the Firefly fan community and their major efforts be forgotten. What the fans accomplished and the way they did it was unparalleled and unexpected.

We wanted to share the unique journey from Firefly to Serenity and contribute something to the ‘Verse that people could enjoy and connect with. Additionally, we wanted to create something for existing Browncoats, as well as people who were new to the ‘Verse, to keep the Browncoat momentum moving forward."

Done the Impossible began production in 2005. "During that time," Wiser says, "I arranged interviews with fans, cast, crew and executives. We were filming, editing and developing unique special features. We felt it was very important to have someone from the series help convey the story and Adam Baldwin was a perfect fit. When I asked Adam at DragonCon if he would be willing to host the documentary, he was genuinely interested in a way that demonstrated he not only believed in our film, but in the importance of the message of Firefly and the fans.

Jewel Staite took her vacation time to record timeline and trivia voiceover. The fans and cast were incredibly cooperative. People were very eager to share their feelings about why Firefly has such a following and how it affected their lives. Firefly composer Greg Edmonson invited us into his home and Tim Minear took time away from a very important engagement. I was surprised at how many people had stories and experiences we can all relate to, and how willing and excited people were to be involved. I also contacted Joss and several executives – they were all very supportive of our project."
