Serenity
So Ron and I finally saw Serenity last night. And I have to
agree with most of what
xparrot said about it in
her post two weeks ago. Great opening. Same great, snarky dialogue that
marked the show. Satisfying (and spinechilling) look into River's
background--and isn't her brother just too cool and so *hot* in his
rescue of her?! River definitely gets her heroic Yoda moment.
Shepherd's death hurt, but it felt right for the circumstances, and Mal
and the crew's reactions to it were believable. But the other
unmentionable crew death: absolutely, totally pointless! And
unforgiveable of Joss Whedon not to have sent that character out--if he
was going to do it at all--with a worthwhile, heroic death and
appropriately mourned by Mal, Zoe, and co. Overall, I really liked it.
Thought it was a great sequel to Firefly even if we didn't find
out about Shepherd's mysterious past, and thought enough background was
supplied to make it of interest to action/adventure/sci-fi fans who
haven't seen the show, as well. 'Twould certainly be nice if it led to
a revival of the show.

So, I'm glad you finally found me and friended me back, and I'm looking forward to reading your journal. I've checked it out a couple times in recent weeks and had assumed you rarely used it since it appeared to be updated quite infrequently. Which reminds me... why aren't your entries dated so one can tell when they were posted?
