SHINY IS AS SHINY DOES

Recent Firefly convert. (It only took me 5 years to discover it on my own, how it took me so long, I'll never know.) I was devastated to discover no further episodes after 'Objects in Space' - pretty sure a whole day of mourning went by clothed head to toe in black (and oh my, LOTS of chocolate consumption). To then discover Serenity the Movie was, well... you know that feeling when you've lost a precious something, wracked your mind searching every place your hands have already ransacked a hundred times over, only to see it shining happily up at you just waiting for your return? ...yeah.

In someways I am glad I didn't go through all of the go se that those from Day One went through. On the other hand I can't imagine how wonderful it must have felt to accomplish what Firefly's fan base was able to after cancellation.

I really love the premise Joss came up with: the blending Eastern & Western cultures, the central planets, the rim, Companions, defining morality where there are no clear lines, the continuation of human existence 500 years from today in a realistic and relatable realm... a person could get lost in that, and you know what? We did!
