Telling Firefly fans that their dreams are futile kinda broke my heart, but that’s because I’m one of them. I currently have copies of the complete Firefly series on Blu-ray, DVD and VHS — VHS tapes I made during the show’s original airing in 2002, which I would share with friends because “ohmigod, you have to watch this show!”

Ritter had seen Arthur’s video for his own band, Balthrop, Alabama, and the two discussed a possible collaboration. The result, débuting here, is “Galahad,” a previously unreleased song by Ritter, paired with...
