'cause I don't want to ruin it for anyone by my commenting...
So i've only seen an episode and a half of Firefly This is blasphemous!!!, but then again I'm quite sad.
... and the beginning of the movie was a bit confusing to me. I loved the beginning... but yeah, I can definitely see that. That was the problem... nine fairly complex characters ... all at once. It's beauty and it's curse. Though they fixed that didn't they? {sad smirk}.
I was all poking Mike as i tend to do and being like, wait wait! Is that the naked girl who was in the box?! Ohoh oh! Thats the cute dinosaur pilot guy! wait! he married the other chick?! Who's he?!! To which, of course, he was like, SHUSHHHHH. But not really, he just whispered that if i listened i'd figure it out. whatever! Not that I'd even have a clue, but hypothetically I often envy Mr.coffeewhore, there are however select occasions when I do not {smirk}. There's an episode ("Our Mrs.Reynolds") where Book tells Mal: "If you take sexually advantage of that girl you'll go a special section of hell which they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater ... a special hell"{smirk}.
But then it got intersting pretty fast, and you really didn't need to have watched much of the series to get into it. Good to hear... I was thinking more along the lines of it got 'too fast' pretty fast.
I have no geeky letdowns about this movie because i wasn't attached to the series or looking forward to it for months like mike was. And he loved it by the way, says its one of his new favorites. This was the best thing on television ever. I am full of geeky letdowns (see this entry, and others). It was a good movie, but it could've been so much better. At least it was made. Hopefully it will continue.
I just thought the concept was pretty neat. The whole quest to get to Miranda and what they found there, for some reason it never hit me that would happen. I had a concept of it ahead of time. It was still quite good (with numerous little exceptions).
And the whole killing of cute dinosaur guy. OMG I almost cried!!! I didn't cry, but it's a big letdown. They didn't really talk about it...
Perhaps Mr.coffeewhore told you... but the old Black Guy who died ('Book') was also a member of the crew, or was before the movie... and he had a big mystery. So in a way that's a bigger letdown... because now we may not find out... though depending, though they have to be able to make another one before that's even an issue (I was kinda hoping they would touch in it in this one).
While he was interesting, Wash was a better character. Not that all the other characters are devoid of humour, but they always gave him fairly funny tidbits... It's sad, I'm pissed.
The ending was really great too, although i started to get that deja vu feeling that i was watching the finale of Angel again and they were all going to go out dying in a frenzy of being heroes and never make it out alive and that made me mad. But then it didnt end that way and that made me happy. I was thinking the same thing, except I'm not happy, 'cause Wash is dead and they might not tell us what was going on with Book.
But all in all, i want cute dinosaur pilot back thank you. he was my favorite! I don't know if he was my favourite, but he was very cool. They're all terrific characters (or were on tv).
