One fan's lament - The Firefly that was.

Tuesday, February 8, 2005 1:19 PM

I suppose it has finally struck home. Some 234 days out from the premier.... and despite everything that's been said, or what I've heard, etc... reading bits and pieces of spoilers has made me come to the conclusion that our quaint lil Firefly show really is gone - for good. And I miss it. Sure, the ship and her crew will be on the big screen come next Fall, but it won't be the same. Seems so many of the little things that set Firefly apart will be white washed and pushed aside.

It's not a question of whether or not I'll go SEE the BDM. And I'll probably like it ... I hope I do. But I can't help but think about what would have happened to our BDH's in the series and how things are now irrevocably altered . Sure this or that might have very well played out as it does in the movie, but it would have taken time. Charachters would have moved on in one fashion or another,but I sense that things in the movie are now greatly hastened. And losing that part of the story is tough to take, even if we get to see a little more ..before the end.

" Yeah, but were it not for the movie, we'd NEVER see 'em fly again.... ". I know, I know. It's just that it won't be the same. Not in some ways, it won't. I'm sure we'll see flashes of this or that which will *seem* familar.....but as for Black Market Beagals, Shan U, Stupid hats and ...well, that 'special hell'. Too many to count.

I know....can't please anyone if you try to please everyone.

....still, glad I got those DVDs
