Ok, this is for Malslave, don't read if you don't want somewhat specific details about the movie's love scenes. I'm warning you guys, this is too big a spoiler for most to read. Don't read it if you want things to be a surprise. Because the movie takes place 6 months after the show ends, things aren't exactly the same.

Select to view spoiler:

Ok, I don't know the show, but it was obvious to me that Mal and Inara were a couple or potential couple at some point. I'll tell you that there is a overly awkward conversation between them (that the whole crew eavesdrops on), but she's not exactly a member of the crew at the time the movie takes place. I don't know if that's part of the show either. As far as Kaylee and Simon, there's an admission of feelings, but I won't say more.

I can only imagine when us actual fans do go to see it, since we've seen all 12 episodes, that will probably get the inside jokes, references, and probably remember some of the visual props.

For someone who's never seen it, it will be good. For someone who's a fan and see's it... It will be AWESOME.

One more episode or movie is more than we had in a long time. I believe we'll take what we can get and be very appreciative. Serenity (the ship) carries more than the 10 people on board... It carries all of us as its crew. Come September 30th, This board will be on fire!

Just a comment on the Kaylee line which some people didn't like. I was at the London screening and the whole place pretty much erupted in laughter when this line came out. I wasn't really that surprised by it, I think it was important that Kaylee wasn't portrayed as being so innocent.

I wonder how many were imagining Kaylee's custom engineering for Jayne's bunk

Malslave,
Yeah I plan on watching the episodes as soon as I get a chance. I'm anxious to see more of what I saw in the movie. I'm probably going to wish I hadn't done this backwards, but I'm sure that seeing the movie again in September would be a totally different experience for me after having familiarized myself with the characters.

I'm sure many of us would be interested in your Firefly experience, if you can take the time to come back with that. We've heard of various paths, but AFAIK none yet going via Serenity. And welcome to the community, by the way

Ah, I'm glad you asked for my opinon!
I am always quick to read the "I saw Serenity" threads, just to see how much is being given away about our movie..!!! Luckily it hasn't been a whole lot, and there are still many surprises to be had for those of you who haven't seen the film yet.
It is so funny to see your reactions (those of you who have seen it) to that line of Kaylee's! I can tell you that when I read the script for the first time, I was howling with laughter when I read that line. Nothing could be MORE appropriate to show Kaylee's true nature.
Some of you still haven't seen the series yet, so I can understand why a line like that could come as a bit of an inappropriate shock. But for those of you who HAVE seen all the episodes of the show, how could you expect any less of Kaylee? She may be sweet and sensitive, but she's also very sexual, and very blunt. I remember while delivering that line during the filming of that scene, my first instinct was to sort of mock-whisper it, but Joss said, "No, no, no..! Kaylee's not that way! She's not shy about this! She says it because she wants everyone around her to know about it!" He wanted me to sort of yell it out, loud and proud!
It wasn't meant to be offensive. Well, maybe it was a little, knowing Joss. He does write true to his characters, and we have to remember that these are HIS characters. He knows them inside out, better than us actors do. He wouldn't write something that was inappropriate to the character. He's much smarter than that!
There will be many things in this movie that will shock you and may even make you angry, but it's Joss's vision, and no matter what, he has to stay true to that, right?
Anyway, there's my two cents.

Jewel AKA the infamous and completely inappropriate KAYLEE :)

if i would have known that a simple "where's jewel when you need her?" works so well i would have asked "where's jewel when you need the house cleaned?" months ago (and can i say that right of this moment i am very glad about this little ocean that is protecting me from the consequences of this comment ,-) )

anyway, glad to hear the line is pure kaylee, saying that kind of thing without warning and just as if it would be totally normal. kind of making you go all "huh" on her before realizing that her being so natural about it is part of her "innocence". does that make any sense to anyone? no? ok, i'll be off then looking for professional help or something.

I am not surprised at "The whole point of swearing is that it aint appropriate" Kaylee's line. I agree completely with you Jewel, the important thing is that Joss tells his story, and gives us what we need, not what we want. I have absolute confidence that Serenity will be a great story and a great expansion to what I think will be an ever-growing 'verse.

Sincerly can't wait till the Big Damn Movie's released.
