Hey neighbor! I have a bungalow right next to yours, on that Egyptian river. With a triple helping of "WTF??!!" and "But they didn't have to do that!"
Overall I really loved it (aside from that ONE LEEEEETLE THING) but discussing it in the car with my husband on the drive home, we both agreed that it feels like ... an ending. It didn't so much leave me clamoring for more, as feeling that the series has now been wrapped up -- and a great send-off it was, but it now feels finished. I don't know if Joss & Co. meant to leave that impression, and I don't know how much of it has to do with this massive load of denial I'm carrying around regarding a certain favorite character's untimely demise, but it now feels like the major mysteries have been solved, the one character who still had a lot of mystery in his past (Book) is clearly a mystery that will never be explored, River has found her place with the crew, and they sailed off into the sunset. It's interesting to imagine the characters' lives beyond the movie, but I don't feel as if I'm missing out on something huge and wonderful, the way I did after watching the last episode of the series.
