Warning! Spoilers for Serenity (the movie, of course). And also some serious rambling. You have been warned! So ever since I've gotten back on the 'net (lost our service last weekend of all weekends) I've been pretty disheartened by the animosity that seems to be growing between fans. There seems to be a divide between those who hate Serenity and think Joss betrayed everyone and everything and those who love it. What disheartened me the most was the viciousness displayed in many posts (this was mostly at the 'versal boards and to a lesser extent the OB, I haven't noticed it much here, but I also couldn't get on here at the time so it could all be archived by now. Either way I still love this place best :biggrin:). Anyway, my main query/question/pondering is this: Most of the dislike towards Serenity seems to revolved around the decision to kill Wash, I've seen countless threads saying that while there may have been some character development as a result, there was no effect on the plot and was therefore gratuitous and only done to scare the audience into thinking everyone would die. (And to be fair, during the last 20 or so minutes I was actually wondering if all the talk of a sequel was just a ruse and that [i]everyone[/i] was going to die). But I thought that there was an effect on the plot. Zoe's decision to hold the crew's position by the blast doors seems to be a response to the fact that her husband is dead, and the realization that it's unlikely any of them were going to live. [i]Mal wanted them all to stay together,[/i] but he trusted Zoe's decision. And if that doesn't affect plot development I don't know what does. Imagine if Mal had the rest of the crew with him during the final fight with the Operative. I imagine it may have ended quite differently (and not necessarily for the better). Am I just reading too much into the exchange between Mal and Zoe? Because I don't understand why everyone is so mad. I also don't understand why anyone would line up at 8am(!) outside a store to buy butter(!) but that's a story for another time...

I feel a bit guilty. I stole my mom's issue of Entertainment Weekly with the Nathan Fillion Article. The picture is now on my ceiling... *feels like a total fangirl* Then again, now I look up at it... Nevermind, I don't feel guilty... But he really isn't the only reason I watched Firefly. Firefly=love oh and of course chocoalte=love... hehe. Nathan Fillion=chocolate... :wink:

So yeah, I guess this will be my little blog dedicated to firefly. Anything else you want to know, travel to livejournal to see my general blog. www.livejournal.com/users/punkkoneko Rant for today. I think Firefly should definitely come back on TV with more seasons. TV shows = in depthness of all the aspects. Don't get me wrong, movies are great. I'm all for movies. As long as there's a show to answer any mystery questions. (Book! Who the hell are you?!?!) (River! Why do you kick ass?!?!) It's all about consumer demands! I'm a consumer, damn it! And I demand more Firefly!!!

JACQUI

Ooooh!! Daniel Vs Jonah!!! Finally found a scene to overcome my crippling writer's block when it comes to this series. Of course, that may be because I just don't want it to end, but there you go. I can't not finish it, the series deserves better than that. Chapter 11 is on it's way, peoples. This is, of course, assuming that people are still reading and/or caring about it.

YOU KNOW, I WAS UPSET WITH THE LOSS OF TWO OF OUR HEROES.I JUST COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW JOSS COULD DO THIS TO US! THEN AFTER SOME THOUGHT I REALIZED SOMETHING.HE HAS DONE THIS TO US SO MANY TIMES BEFORE IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS. I'VE READ SOME VERY INTERESTING THINGS TODAY THAT WOULD SUGGEST OUR PILOT DIDN'T DIE. DOES ANYONE RECALL THE CREW ACTUALLY BURYING HIS BODY? NO. WASH WAS NEVER SEEN AFTER THE CREW RUSHED OFF OF SERENITY.WE ALL ASSUMED HE WAS DEAD. JOSS HAS DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES BEFORE ON BUFFY AND ANGEL.CREATIVITY IS HIS BUSINESS,SO LET HIM BE CREATIVE AND ENTERTAIN US EVEN MORE. NOW, LETS WATCH SERENITY ONCE MORE WITH THAT IN MIND. MAL "WE'RE STILL FLYIN." SIMON "THAT'S NOT MUCH." MAL "IT'S ENOUGH."

This is it. It was fun folks, but... I dunno. We needed, according to a responder to one of my later posts, to rake in about $80 million for a sequel. Hows it look so far? Hm? Are we doin alright? No, of course not. I would like to side with another poster in news and events about how people are sitting there in fantasy land saying, "Numbers are irrelevant" or "Can't stop the signal", or sitting there humming the Firefly theme song with a far away look in their eye whilst outside of lala land, our movie is dieing. Unless we get a lot more people to help and see the movie, or Bill Gates gives $80 million to the sequel, Serenity is gonna flop. I hope I don't wind up in troll country for this, but no one reads my posts anyway, so I can rant all I want to an empty stadium. I want Serenity to pull through, and I'm pretty darn sure you all want it too. I'm a young one who was only introduced to Firefly late last year, so I don't really know what it's like for all of the really whole-hearted fans to see a movie the love die. I love Firefly and Serenity too, and I don't openly love much. I just want it to pull through.

Here are each of my games available for download (and their expansion(s), if any). You'll need a a printer (preferably color) and lots of cardstock, paper and ink (unless you have a laser printer) handy. I hear tell they're worth it, but I'll let you decide. I hope you enjoy my labors of love! TCM ================================================ [b]Firefly Cardgames by Tenth CrewMember (TCM)[/b] direct links: BWAH!

Ok, so I bought the companion guide for Serenity and have been reading it cover to cover and my synopsis is this, nothing can compare to Serenity or Firefly in all of its greatness. For real people! You will never find a cast more tight knit than the cast of Firefly, these people are best friends. I can't get over it, and it totaly adds to their on screen performances knowing this! I also cannot get over how dedicated Joss is, for real. He has a lot of respect in me, he is on my list of the uber forces in the movie industry! Now, all of that asside, there really is not much I can say, its Thanksgiving here where I am and so I have been visiting and filling my belly with sweet sweet turkey meat. I got some money from some grandparents and went and bought myself some new clothes. A 128$ Boston Red Sox jersery amongst them, its wicked sweet. I have been very busy, two jobs, school, writing, drawing, and maintaining my Serenity RPG. I guess I should go into a little detail as to why I call it a Serenity RPG and not a Firefly RPG. I actually like explaining it to be honest. I call it Serenity because Firefly entails to the ship the crew flys, and yes I understand they call it Serenity as well. But Serenity was also a battle that actually near crippled the Indapendents and plays a big part in the world of Firefly we know today. So we needed a name people could familiarise themselves with best. Its sub name is Dark Skies, this is in no way meant to be threatening or gothic in some way. Its more so a face value deal. They refer to space as the sky or the black, so the idea of Dark Skies just seemed to come naturaly. Anyway, thats all I am going to put for now, don't forget to stop by the site at,
