Please don't lose sight of the fact that Joss is STILL the man in charge, and NEVER was there a TV writer/producer/director/CREATOR who was better in touch with his audience.

Will you folks quit crying and TRUST that the movie is going to be wonderful? For chrissake!

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.

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!

Folks. . .April, 2005. . .Our beloved crew will climb aboard that beautiful flying tub once more and grace the BIG screen. Since we first learned that the movie had been greenlighted, we've had it presented to us that there are going to be a few things that are slightly different. Serenity herself will look a bit different. . .Wash's flight suits look a bit different. . .Kaylee's coveralls. . .Jayne's t-shirts. . .

These slight changes have some of our more die-hard and perhaps short-sighted fans up in arms. . .lamenting the changes. . ."Ooooohhhhhhhh, woe is us. . .the horrible corporate execs at Universal have forced them to get rid of the EVER CRUCIAL suspenders!!! Book with a beard?? Book doesn't wear a beard!!!! Wash's flight suit looks too 'official'! What are they thinking?"

Folks. . .get the heck over it. Our beloved Serenity is FLYING AGAIN. Don't you get it?

BIGGER SCREEN. . .BIGGER BUDGET. . .BIGGER AUDIENCE. . .BIGGER VISION!!!!!

Please don't lose sight of the fact that Joss is STILL the man in charge, and NEVER was there a TV writer/producer/director/CREATOR who was better in touch with his audience.

"Wash. . .we got some local color happening. A grand entrance would not go amiss."

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!

There is a engine cone looking things:
[url=] (Gorram how do you post a link!! Right click that X then go to that link and look around PG 10 for what I'm talking about)
that could have created that full burn explosion. Now according to the DVD extras Serenity has a Fusion Engine IE an "Orion Drive". Now for those who don't know the basic princeable is that a large Nuclear Explosion accures and is focused (maybe by the pannel things) sternwords providing a massave burst of thrust.

Now I assume the "Spinny Part" is some kind of Power Genrator/Nuclear Blast Creator.

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.

Joss has stated many times he is not a techie person and doesn't want a techie show. . . . 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.

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.
