Serenity

[xparrot]

It rocks. You knew that already. It's got great lines. You knew that already.

And yes, some of us knew about this already, too. So. Yeah. Welcome to Denial, everybody's invited. Egypt's lovely this time of year, and I've got a bungalow right on the banks. With little plastic dinosaurs on the window sill.

Otherwise?

Opening was awesome. Switch and switch and switch again. (Not to mention finally hearing the basics of Earth That Was.)

When it comes down it - the fights are cool and all, but it's still the dialogue and the humor I love the most. Bits going too far to be hardcore action...it wasn't that they didn't pull it off, but...that being said, definitely need to rewatch. Plenty of lines to memorize. Mal's sputtering, "You can't!" about Jayne being captain.

And popcorn. Watching Mal & Inara with popcorn. And Inara even kicked a little ass herself - "That's not incense."

Book hurt in the right - not pointless just for shock value and to prove we CAN kill anybody - way. Even if we didn't entirely get his story...implications that he was an Operative, yes?

Serenity herself cosplaying - fuuuuck creepy. Actually that goes for a lot of it. fuuuuuck creepy. And Jayne cradling Vera (I think it was Vera?) as they fly through the Reavers, hee.

The coverup, the Reavers' origin...I'm not sure. Too pat, too...simplistic. (Not to mention, testing on an entire planet? The hell?? There's stupid and then there's George Bush.) But the Reavers themselves are still - Reavers. Brrr. And the theater cheered when the doors opened on River standing alone. For future reference - don't pick on her brother.

He's not dead. Screw the grave. Not dead, not in my happy little world.

And lastly: Mal x River OTP. Oh yeah.

Sigh... there's this funny little story.

See, I told some friends of mine that there was ONE reason why I was a bit happy that Firefly got cancelled. Joss Whedon does not like happy, stable relationships. Buffy-Angel/Riley/Spike, Xander-Cordelia/Anya, Willow-Oz/Tara, again and again he breaks his couples apart... but Wash and Zoe somehow made it through the series still together.

I thought they were safe. Silly me. He just couldn't resist it.

This is what Egypt is for!

I've never watched Buffy (this is less a case of not wanting to see it and more a case of active avoidance, e.g. I need another fandom like I need a hole in the head) but I'd had a friend tell me that not a single relationship worked out in it, which worried me greatly. But still. Man. Not fair. I loved the Z/W so damn much. ;__;
