It was like seeing the original <I>Star Wars</I> in 1977: People were into the film, they laughed at the jokes, and gasped at the shocking stuff. It was a blast. I loved it.<BR/><BR/>But you know what? If Joss had missed with that audience we would have all been in biiiig trouble.<BR/><BR/>As for me, well, I honestly thought that the movie was really a two hour episode. It felt like a made for the Sci Fi Channel film. Okay, a made for the Sci Fi Channel film that was <I>good</I>, but you get the idea. I loved it, and I happily own one of the British posters, but it's more because of what <I>Firefly</I> meant to me rather than what the BDM was.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, at least he offered some closure. Not a lot, but some.<BR/><BR/>Alas, it's all over know. Rest in peace, <I>Firefly</I>Avindairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025041690296714527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457468.post-1142926160260429812006-03-21T03:29:00.000-04:002006-03-21T03:29:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457468.post-1142442597315084872006-03-15T13:09:00.000-04:002006-03-15T13:09:00.000-04:00I saw one of the preview showings, and I was sucke...I saw one of the preview showings, and I was sucked in, but I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was a special screening, and I was in a theater packed with fans, and I was sitting right behind the actors who played Simon and Inara.<BR/><BR/>But the moment Wash died, that was it for me.<BR/><BR/>And then once I was tossed out like that, I started thinking about what I'd seen, and it started falling apart. I never went back to see the final cut, and didn't pay for the DVD, but instead borrowed it from a friend.<BR/><BR/>*shrug* At least it was enough of a flop that I don't have to worry about seeing Firefly come back without Wash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457468.post-1142431087032107392006-03-15T09:58:00.000-04:002006-03-15T09:58:00.000-04:00I have to disagree with you on this; I loved Seren...I have to disagree with you on this; I loved Serenity. But then, I love how Joss Whedon does dramatic emotional stuff just as much as I love his humor, and River has always been one of my favorite characters from Firefly :)Zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702478924392188540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457468.post-1142394747202386792006-03-14T23:52:00.000-04:002006-03-14T23:52:00.000-04:00Have to say I agree to an extent.

It was good to see the gang again, was hoping for a lot better story and more of 'the gang'. -- The series had some of the most quotable smartass comments ever created for television.<BR/><BR/>Bring back the series!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
