Quote: if there's one thing I've learnt over the last seven years it's TRUST JOSS. I doubted him when I heard about the Dawn storyline I thought it would be really weird to fit in a new character but whether you like the character or not I think Joss fitted her in perfectly. I doubted him when I heard about the premise for Firefly and we all know how that turned out. I don't think Joss would do anything to compromise the quality of the Buffyverse.

Quote: Personally I feel strongly that what we see on the screen THIS time will be Joss' vision... the TV show involved constant compromises Joss had to make w/the suits at the network, but the movie is his pure vision (or so I believe) and there fore I will embrace and rejoice in any changes Joss makes!

Don't you get it? BIGGER SCREEN. . .BIGGER BUDGET. . .BIGGER AUDIENCE. . .BIGGER VISION!!!!!

A grand entrance would not go amiss."

Quote:Originally posted by makerofpaths: 2. When Serenity powers away from the Reaver ship in the pilot, just where does all that exhaust come from. There ain't nothing there to make that rocket-y smoke, other than the sidepods, which strike me more as manoeuvring jets, although quite powerful. Something on the butt of Serenity has to justify that kind of power. Mind you, the sight of that escape was a thing of beauty. Zoic rules!
Quote:3. When Wash's fingers dance over the controls, it's always over the same controls (the three magic switches, for example) and the setup tells me they haven't established too much of a layout. The designers need to work on that so whatever Wash does in -- I'm going to call it -- Serenity 2.0, the "dashboard" should be a little more convincing. And if you've ever seen an airliner cockpit (I know Static knows his way around a cockpit!), there's an eyeful of switches and gauges, partly because of the need for redundant controls. So there should be a secondary control station on Serenity, say to the right of Wash's.

Watch the show, enjoy the action and drama and laughs and quit obsessing over nitpicky little details that have nothing to do with the story.

Quote:Originally posted by makerofpaths: For the Big Damn Movie, though, where the image on the screen is 17 feet (see above :-), Wash, e.g., can't just be grabbing at imaginary switches and buttons. Every detail of the people and hardware is right in your face and so are the flaws.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
