Still getting tingly...

I haven't been paying close attention to ALL things Firefly lately. Full time work and full time school tends to do that. Even so, certain music still brings it to mind, and often, certain articles of clothing and shoes... So for me this was a bit of a shock.

I was in Borders Book Store for something else entirely - Astronomy Magazine. It was for a character in an RP over on StoryCrafter. Haven't been in Borders' news stand section much though so I was wandering a bit until I turned around and there it was.

Serenity. Still in the Gawd-awful Parchment font (currently top of the list of Anti-fonts at my school above Myriad and Times New Roman), but on the cover of a comic book . With Mal giving me that devil-may-care grin. Zoe looking like she knows something I don't and never will. Wash being... just Wash.

I'm all tingly now just thinking about it.

Grabbed it, opened it, started reading, then realized my lunch hour was getting short. I did find Astronomy Magazine, and made it to check out. Then I sat in my car in the mall parking lot and read the first issue of Serenity: Better Days while dining on barbecue pork bao from Big Bowl.

Even if the sun hadn't been shining that day, my entire outlook got brighter by degrees.

It got me to thinking about how fabulous it would be if the series were to get another chance. I could see Nathan Fillion or Adam Baldwin going to the higher-ups on Castle and Chuck, respectively, and saying something to the effect of:

"Okay, so it's been fun and whatever but I gotta go. There's crime to be done."
