Serenity Preview - No Spoilers

[Shadowdancer]

I always have said it would have been better if Carter had made The X-Files movie a stand-alone story (like a monster-of-the-week episode) rather than try to tie in with all the series' mythology. Let's hope he learned his lesson and doesn't make the same mistake with the second movie.

(-Huh. I'm expecting the alien invasion in the next X-Files movie.)

 

[Plane Sailing]

Before I saw Firefly, I said that Babylon 5 was the best scifi show ever made. Then I saw Firefly and my opinion was forever altered. Buy the DVDs. You'll never regret it.

Ok, thanks. I'll give it a go (is it nice to be trusted on the internet?)

Cheers

 

[Plane Sailing]

OK, I bought the Firefly DVDs.

I've never been so impressed by a series in my life. The stories, the acting, the sets and props. Absolutely astonishing. I can't imagine how this got cancelled when dross goes on and on - a tv tragedy.

I'm halfway through the series now, looking forward to the second half

You won't be disappointed Plane Sailing. It only gets better, and the last episode's the best of 'em all, IMHO.

I had the fine luck to be at the second advanced screening of the movie last night, here in Boston.

Damned fine flick. Shiny.

Note, you don't have to buy the DVDs to see this before the movie goes into full release. The Sci Fi Channel will be airing all 15 episodes of the series starting July 22nd.

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

Really? I find large parts of "Out of Gas" nearly unwatchable. The flashbacks are great, but the frame story is boring after one watching. Then again, I can be kind of claustrophobic and the idea of slowing suffocating in a little space kinda wigs me, so that might have something to do with this!

Glad you're enjoying it, Plane. It really is the best TV made in quite a while. Umbran, wanna go somewhere and talk about the movie where the other kids can't hear? Is Joss not a rat bastard?!

Not to derail Serenity too muchm but the best way to describe that story is painful, but gripping, because the first time you watch it you have no idea what the heck is going on exactly.

And the funniest part comes in the middle, with Mal and his repair part.

I assume you mean something to do with the movie and not the fact that they keep teasing people like me with advanced screenings months before the movie officially comes out and I can see it. I keep hoping someone at Universal changes their minds again and moves up the date to say...next week. I really want something to wash away the disappointment I felt at Revenge of the Sith, and I think Serenity will be the best movie to do that.
