Firefly (2002). Although it might be from the film Serenity (2005).

I'm pretty sure the scenes from the show rather than the movie.

Well, one thing is for sure, it's not from Castle.

Kinda sus that only one is from Castle and the rest are from Firefly.

I think I am on solid grounds by using the term "reaction gif", which excludes the original gif :-P

But the GIF I reacted with is from Castle, and my interpretation is that that's your favorite 🤔

P.S. Leave it to me to get unnecessarily pedantic over anything trivial.

Facts should matter, so that's a good position to take.

I see that you are right! (Description) You already knew that ofc, but there's proof for anyone that needs it:-).

I believe we've discussed this topic before, but for one thing I forgot, and for another in the reaction gif the coloration, hairstyle, and such looks so very similar to Firefly! In fact I legitimately forgot that his name is Nathan Fillion and found the above clip from Castle by searching for the keywords "Malcolm Reynolds Castle reaction gif":-).

I hope this has been an enjoyable trip down memory lane for you:-). For myself, I prefer being correct, which sometimes requires me to be corrected, so thanks:-).

Being right is my favorite pastime >:-)

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Moreso than being left? Ba-dum-tiss!

Confirmed. Just watched that episode on Saturday.
