Joss once said "If it makes you cry to see it, know that it made me cry when I wrote it". The man knows what he is doing.
"I love my captain."
That's actually quite touching. I think I might cry. Yes, the man sure knows what he is doing and I appauld him. Keep up the great work, Joss!
JOSS IS BOSS.

Tired of the "Buffy did this too" exprawations.
Personally never did like that hoaky, campy piece of $hit. pure pop trash - that was.
Like Fireflyfans.net?

Well then it's good that you never watched it.
Oh...wait...I guess maybe you DID watch it.
And, oh my goodness, it wasn't for you! Imagine that!
I hope you got over it and moved on to something else.
Me? I liked Buffy but never got around to seeing it regularly.
It's now in my Netflix queue. Just after the last disc of Angel.
It's not about Buffy, dearie.
It's about a writer not afraid to go to places that aren't "safe" for the audience.
People get shot. People get hurt. People are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Friends of "the wrong people" get caught in the shite storm. ("When your quarry goes to ground..." - The Operative)

Tallgrrl...
Hate the game baby...don't hate the playa! 
Me myself...thought the "you know whats" were cheap ploys at illiciting emotions. A better writer can evoke emotion in his audience in a slightly less "in your face" manner. All in all though...I ain't loosin' any sleep over it. My point was that there is no need to impugn someone's parenting skills and start calling them names (heel) for no other reason than they disliked something that you...cherish? And let me see if I've got this straight...because I didn't like something that you adore (didn't hate it either, BTW) you are able to discern that am illiterate and otherwise relatively uneducated? Wow! Can't argue with that logic! 
Finally...Joss as great literary luminary? Buffy, Angel, Slither...I'm guessing Firefly was a fluke. There! I said it! I feel liberated! And Tallgrrl...relaaaaax.
Much love...

Hey, not hatin'.
I'm not droppin a heel bomb because someone didn't like what I liked.
I'm saying that someone who takes a child to movie that's rated above that child's ability to handle it is a heel.
Serenity is rated PG-13 for a reason. For lots of reasons, actually.
It's not about whether I "adored" the piece or not. Even if I didn't like the piece, my opinion would be the same.
Then to bitch about it with: "Joss made my 11 year old daughter cry!"?
Excuse me, but I wasn't gonna let that slide on by.
And "literary luminary"? Um, yer words. Not mine.
I'm just saying that Joss knew exactly what he was doing when he wrote the script for Serenity.
And I ain't mad at him.
(Well, I was for about 15 seconds.)
Like I said: not hatin'.
Peace

And, people, I didn't say that crying was bad. It's funny to see all the various reactions to a couple of statements.
BTW, my daughter loves firefly, wants to catch all the re-runs on Sci-Fi and wants to buy the movie on DVD.
I told her a while back that I posted that she cried about the movie and she said, "It was sad!" while giving me a "of course I cried, Dummy!" look.
Select to view spoiler:
I didn't like the deaths
because I liked the characters so much but I do really love the writing and the artist that wrote Firefly and Serenity. I tip my hat to you, Joss.
