Serenity (Spoilers herein)

**loopydate** · 10-01-2005, 12:02 AM

Okay, who's seen it?

I was a huge fan of "Firefly," so I've been waiting for this movie for, oh, about three years now. And it totally didn't disappoint. Whedon did a fantastic job of tying up some of the loose ends from the series (the origin of the Reavers), while still leaving several unanswered (why did Book have Alliance ID?).

Now, here's where the spoilers come in (continue at your own risk):

I absolutely loved the movie. I really truly did. I'll see it several more times. But I was pissed as all hell that Wash died. Alan Tudyk is one of my favorite actors, and Wash was my favorite character on the show. I understand why Joss did it in terms of the story, but his death seriously took me out of the movie for about five minutes. There was a massive battle raging on screen and I was thinking "Holy fuck, why did he do that?" Eventually, the story brought me back in, but I was just devastated by that. There was a thread not long ago about "When was the last time you cried at a movie?" Well, I almost did tonight.

***END SPOILERS***

Like I said before, I like that they kept enough questions to warrant more sequels. I would love to see this show that was cancelled way too soon live on as a cinema franchise.

Okay, so discuss. Random thoughts.

* Jewel Staite is hot. So is Morena Baccarin.
* I always thought Zoe was the least interesting crew member on the series. Well, now she's got herself some serious motivation.
* Alan Tudyk is ready to be a comic lead. He's been the goofy sidekick in everything from "A Knight's Tale" to "Dodgeball." The man has phenomenal timing, and his facial expressions rule.
* The Operative was a scary-ass dude. Swords in spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!
* I totally saw Mal's "They won't see this coming" plan coming.
* REAVERS! I've wanted to see them since the pilot episode (other than the one stowaway guy). Did not disappoint.
* I understand why they needed the prologue thingy, but for those of us that have actually watched all 14 episodes, it just made me that much more aware that I wasn't quite watching the story yet.
* "Chronicles of Narnia" trailer? Yes, please.
