siochan, I have now at last seen Firefly. All of it. Great show, really. I can finally understand why everyone was so pissed off about it being cancelled.
Also saw Serenity. Unpopular fannish opinion time: it had its moments, and I liked the plot in general, but I thought it was vastly inferior to the show. I don't know. There was way too much fighting and too little character development. And I'm very glad I waited to see Firefly rather than going out to see Serenity when it was in theaters, because I think if all I'd seen was the movie, I wouldn't have been interested in watching the show. I'm not entirely sure why I didn't like it much (aside from, um, killing off my favorite character for no particular reason except to make the audience cry, but I'm well aware that's a particularly biased opinion). I'd have to watch it again to be able to properly express why I was so disappointed in it, but frankly, I don't have the inclination. I'd rather stick to the show and pretend the movie doesn't exist.
But, hey, Firefly! Was good! Which everyone already knew and the fandom seems to have mostly deactivated, but, y'know, still.
In other news, christ, could anything ELSE go wrong with my show proposal? No, really, bring it on, it still just barely has a snowball's chance in hell of passing and we can't have THAT, now can we?
