I'm rectifying the situation by buying the entire series to watch for myself, but I can't imagine it'll be quite the same.

In regards to some of the people posting negative comments, did the movie people, as is often the case - especially when going from book to movie form, veer so far left from what the TV series plot and characters had established that they'd get a bad taste in their mouths to not like this movie? I can't see any other reason because, as I got caught up in the story, I found myself truly entertained. Everything was so well done. The script and dialog were fantastic. The special effects weren't over done like so many movies these days. The Characters seemed so real it was kind of scary.

Well, here's my report for those that care. I'm still sitting on the last episode, but I feel comfortable going into this now. I see why there's such a strong fan base for a TV series that was so short lived. Once it gets it's hooks into you, it leaves you wanting more. Admittedly, it started a little slow for me. I wasn't REAL impressed with The Train Job. but they got better ever week until I got to the last one, and now I almost wish I hadn't burned though the whole series in a week... but I just couldn't help myself. I see a few story flaws from the TV series to the movie, but really, they stay pretty consistent. The only big plot change is how River comes to be with her brother and how they end up on Serenity. I guess we could be led to believe that the event that takes place in the movie isn't Serenity helping them out. I'll have to pay more attention to the ships underside next time I watch it. Other than that... it's just minor stuff. Maybe the only other thing I saw was when Mal threatens to shoot/abandon his crew members not willing to help out string the bodies and paint the ship to go through the Reavers. I get the distinct impression that goes against the persona that his TV character has fleshed out. He also refers to the Tams several times as "His Crew" which he flat out says they aren't in the movie... but that's all small potatoes really. Joss must be a big fan of either the original Star Wars flicks or of George Lucas. I see a lot of the space cowboy theme through out the whole thing mixed with more modern technology. I really like the idea of blending the two languages and cultures.

My question to you fine people is, what's been done to have our voices heard to get this series back on the air? The window is closing. Mal isn't getting any younger, and the rest of the cast is young, but they need to be to play the characters they filled out. I can't see them parading around a 35 year old Companion for instance. Obviously Joss wants to get this thing back on the air. What's been done so far hasn't worked. What's in the plans now as we move forward?
