My story

I recently realized that for a browncoat, I am very strange. My first experience with firefly was when it was on tv for the first time. I would sit down and watch it while doing my homework, at least on nights that I was home when it was on. Then it was cancelled, but I really didn't notice that it was. Then serenity hit the theatres and one of my friends told me that there was a firefly movie. That got me thinking "I know I watched firefly, I know I liked it, but I can't remember a thing about it" so I decided to rent the dvds and watch the series again before going to see the movie.

Unfortunately, by the time I had fallen in love with the series again (amazing how everything came flooding back when I saw the opening credits) serenity was no longer in theatres and I had to wait for it to come to dvd so I could rent it. I saw that around Christmas.

It wasn't earth-shattering, and I certainly picked up on the continuity errors (when those that were with me didn't, even though we had just finished watching the series before sticking in serenity), but I think I'm still in shock over

WAIT.... DON'T GO ON IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!! IT'S NOT SAFE!!!



SERIOUSLY, DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE SPOILERS




THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE, TURN BACK NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!






Wash's death. I had accidentally run into a spoiler, so I knew that he died in the movie (Hence the dramatic warnings above), but it still gave me a shock. To go like that...no warning, no nothing, mid-sentance even....I literally felt as if that pole had hit me, especially after the way Zoe reacted. I still can't even THINK of heart of gold without getting all sad now.

After all this, it amazes me that there are browncoats that watched the movie first and still got hooked on the series. It just seems crazy that after seeing (what is currently) the end, that anyone would be able to watch the beginning without tainted eyes.

Anyways, I've gone off topic. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
