Saw Serenity and it was shiny...in a Firefly sort of way

Opening: whoa

Let's see, reactions without spoilers, not necessarily in order:
Woohoo! Ow! Wash & Kaylee! River--Oh my goodness! Book--yea! Inara--yea! Stunning as ever. Eeek a Dr. Zee set! Reavers!!!!!!! No!!!!! About Reavers: didn't expect that, though makes perfect sense. Alliance: truly evil. Mal: sometimes I wanted to wallop some kindness his way. Youwsers! What a battle! I think it was better than the Sith capital ship one. Landings!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!! Zoey Jayne--perfect lines. Wash--really great lines. The signal wasn't what I expected. Changes of heart! Ending.

You don't need to know anything about Firefly to see this movie and like it. (My spouse even liked it.)

Thanks Joss. It was a great ride. I'll be telling more friends about it tomorrow.

My Brother (Huge Sci-Fi Fan) came home to visit for the weekend and brought all the copies of the shows home on disk for me to watch.

I have to say I extremely enjoued the shows - right mix of action, comedy along with a good story and plot line with interesting characters. Really love the engineer Kaylee!

Damn shame they canceled the show - I never seen it while it was on the regular schedule. Too damn bad. Was a good show, much better than some of the tripe they have on regularly.

I've always liked the ensemble formula that Joss has used for all his stuff, certain actresses which look like actresses, followed by at least one actress who looks like the average woman you would find somewhere in your neighborhood. Buffy had Willow, Angel had Fred, and Firefly/Serenity has Kaylee.
