Serenity Preview - No Spoilers

[KaosDevice]

I really, really hate all of you advanced screening people. The second one in Kansas City sold out before I had a chance to get a ticket. Good gawd ya'all I was pissed. I've been inflicting the DVDs on just about anyone I can since I got them last year. Going to be a loooooong wait for the movie.

When you get to "Out of Gas", let me know. Best darned one of the series, if you ask me.

Just watched it. It was probably me least favourite of the series so far - probably because the big accident 'just happened', unlike most of the others to date when I swear it looks as if there is a Rat-Bastard DM running things behind the scenes.

I did like the way that it gave an opportunity to introduce Wash and Kaylee, and the fact that Zoe took an instant dislike to Walsh seemed like a funny nod to the film tradition of a couple starting out hating each other and eventually falling in love

Favourites of the ones I've seen so far? There is only a hairs-breadth between them and the others but I've particularly enjoyed Serenity, the Train Job, Shindig, Our Mrs Reynolds and Jaynestown.

Cheers

I was there for the Atlanta early screening on Thursday, with about twenty of my closest friends.

Holy cow. What a great movie! I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats, I'll see it again and again.

I spent most of this afternoon getting another of my friends addicted to Firefly. I consider this to be an afternoon well spent.

And, to quote Scott Kurtz... "Joss Whedon is my master now."

What do you mean with "just happened"? (Interestingly, the whole problem is already hinted at in an earlier episode - maybe one of the pilots. I can´t remember exactly which episode it was in...)

Yes and no (and "sorta") answers only, since this is a "no spoiler" thread:

Do we find out more about Shepherd Book's past?

Do we find out more about River's abilities?

Do the blue-hands make an appearance?

Do we get to see Niska again?

Do Mal and Inara patch things up?

How about Simon and Kaylee, anything there?

Okay, the last couple of questions don't need to be answered, since answering them is spoiler in itself...

Still, I won't see the movie until it hits DVD (I HATE movie theaters), so I would like to know a little bit about what's going on. I'm watching the series again, and am just starting "Shindig." We'll see how much I remember...

Please tell that to who ever broke my car last year. Driving around for 5 years with no problems. Just drove 25 miles to my friends house, no problem. Drove to get myself lunch, no problem on the way there, then when I go to start my car, BAM clutch cable snaps. Car won't run, basically dead there in the parking lot.

They were always short cash and parts wheren't easy to come by or cheap when they could be found. I always imagined poor Kaylee refurbishing parts when she wasn't busy keeping Serenity running. Poor girl, she worked to hard.

Edited to remove spoilers -- which were spoiler-texted, but still spoilers.

Incidentally, I would love a spoiler-filled thread somwhere. Perhpas at the Rat-Bastard Boards, or I have boards that I normally use for my own campaign that has a general forum I could offer up. A couple of other folks there saw the screening, and it would make a nice out of the way place to talk.

If there's interest, let me know. The Rat-Bastard boards are linked in my sig, or my own forums are at crystalmarch.com

I'm sorry Kid Charlemagne, and heretic Apostate, but this is supposed to be a spoiler free thread. Says so right in the title. Not "spoiler hidden" or "no spoilers for a while then we'll start answering questions". Free. Not supposed to be here.

Now that you've started, someone else might decide it is okay to spoil even more. Please, for the sake of the spoile-sensitive, could you please remove that first step down the slipperly slope?

Favourites of the ones I've seen so far? There is only a hairs-breadth between them and the others but I've particularly enjoyed Serenity, the Train Job, Shindig, Our Mrs Reynolds and Jaynestown.

Those are my favorite episodes as well, though Objects in space was definately fun.

The Train Job was the first one that appeared on TV, even though Serenity was the pilot, and though almost everyone hates that Fox decided to air them out of order, I'm not sure I was all that displeased.

I wanted to see Firefly from the first ad I saw, but the opening scene in The Train Job was what hooked me. It may not tell you exactly who the characters are, but it defines Mal, Zoe, and Jayne better than the exposition ever did.
