I didn't notice.

Wonder how talented you have to be as a writer to 'write' for them. KF

But just when teamwork seems ready to prevail, two people from the evil alliance come aboard and tell him a secret that puts everyone in danger…or something like that.

Allow me to demonstrate my full pettiness by not renewed my subscription next year. What would Mal say, "When you did it to my show and movie, you did it to me."

Writer/director Joss Whedon took a flop movie, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and turned it into a hit TV series. Now with Serenity, he hopes to take his flop 2002 TV show, Firefly, and turn it into a hit movie. You gotta admit, the guy has balls. Serenity picks up where the show left off, which is great for the seven people who watched it. In the movie, the captain of the Serenity ends up on the losing side of a galactic war with only his trusty crew to depend on. But just when teamwork seems ready to prevail, two people from the evil alliance come aboard and tell him a secret that puts everyone in danger…or something like that. The plot is slightly incomprehensible and the cast…well, let's just say members of the Nathan Fillion and Gina Torres fan clubs will be psyched. As with the original TV show, the no-namers help make this sci-fi/Indiana Jones—style hybrid into a fairly entertaining romp. But if people wouldn't watch this for free, what makes Whedon think they're gonna pay 10 bucks?

We’ve seen the future, and it ain’t pretty. You can imagine our excitement when we heard that Serenity (the spaceship the show follows around the galaxy) included a space-age prostitute on board among its ragtag crew of outlaws and degenerates. Then we got to watching this Spaceballs-meets-Young Guns mess, and a bunch of lame, Old West–style holdups dominated (a botched train robbery? C’mon, guys). The more we watched Serenity get itself into and out of trouble in the post–galactic civil war space world of the year 2500 (don’t ask), we couldn’t help but dream of John Candy dressing up as a dog alongside Bill Pullman for some real laughs.

Dang, 26 responses. I am going to arrested for inciting a riot. I guess I realize that the the reviewer has the right to their opinion, but I really feel that the show and movie has the best character development since Star Wars. I also feel that it was a show that was screwed from the beginning because a few idiotic network execs never believed in it. My little subscription won't mean much, but I'll be damned if it pays once sent so people can right things like the following.
