Done the Impossible

The title is taken from a line of dialogue, spoken by Malcolm Reynolds in the pilot episode of Firefly. In context, it referred to the Independents' achievement of (temporarily) holding Serenity Valley against the Alliance: "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."

Adam Baldwin serves as host with Jewel Staite doing a voice-over, and has interviews with cast, crew and numerous fans.

IGN Reviewer Eric Goldman noted "It's fun to see the interviews and the joy the show has brought to many.... The extras are well done and informative, in some ways doing a much better job than the documentary of presenting facts about the series to a novice, who doesn't know a Companion from an Operative."{{cite web |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/08/07/done-the-impossible-the-fans-tale-of-firefly-serenity |title=Done the Impossible: The Fans' Tale of Firefly & Serenity A look at the passionate following of Joss Whedon's sci-fi series |first=Eric |last=Goldman |date=7 August 2006 |work=IGN |accessdate=2007-08-28 |archive-date=October 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241002115428/https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/08/07/done-the-impossible-the-fans-tale-of-firefly-serenity |url-status=live }}

Adam Arseneau of DVD Verdict describes it as "the ultimate expression of fanboy love" and explains that the film is more about the fan community than a documentary about Firefly itself. He warns "this one is for fans only. Even then, it's a bit obsessive at times", but as a fan himself he enjoyed it.{{cite web |url=http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/donetheimpossible.php |first=Adam |last=Arseneau |date=August 31, 2006 |title=Review: Done The Impossible |website=DVD Verdict |url-status=dead |archivedate= 2007-09-27 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20070927194712/http://www.dvdverdict.com/reviews/donetheimpossible.php}}
