Okay, that one slo-mo punch was focused on- I'll let that go for the 'Buffy-esque-ness' of the moment...

I hear inaccurate opinions of things all day long.
Look how long it took for Christ's words to become the 'in' thing.
Serenity is one of the best movies EVER made, but classics are generally not instantly hailed as 'classics' until a comfortable time has passed.
Me? I'm comfortable enough already.

Christ Almighty, I didn't realize how many browncoats were not only completely superficial, but slaves to media ideals. This is disappointing as hell.
The superficial thing DOES help weed out the jerks, though.

Yeah.... I like Simon too. I got your back on that one. He's the only truly selfless character on the show... at least the only one who has proven it time and time again with his sister. Even if he does walk and talk like a wuss...
Still, his character in the BDM was completley different than what he was in the show; just one of the myriad of reasons that I'm not a fan of the movie at all.
What I like the most about the women of the show is that they don't get their feelings hurt easy and they know full well their strenghth and power and sexuality and wouldn't even waste their breath trying so hard to make everyone else recognize it, particularly men like me who don't just sit down like a good little boy and behave exactly like they'd like 24/7. If this were "The Real World - Serenity", and all of us were on the show with the crew, why do I have a feeling that Jayne and I would have been asked to leave the ship already?

I will admit that as a standalone movie, I probably would have enjoyed it immensely, but as it were the characters were changed, stories were uber-rushed, my favorite character Book dies, and the chemestry is irreversibly changed forever, barring some stupid "Dallas" type dream dismissial of the BDM.
Just another of my unpopular opinions. I'm full of them.

This thread went odd, odd places. I kind of like it. Some good, old-fashioned debate.
I don't think I have a lot of unpopular opinions about the series; I loved the movie, liked Kaylee well enough, blah blah blah.
I think as close as I come is not thinking Our Mrs. Reynolds and, as a sort-of result, Trash, are great episodes. I enjoy them well enough, but they never struck me as stand-out episodes as others seems to find them. Which is odd, because normally if Joss wrote and directed an episode, I'm all over it.
Still, I like it more than Heart of Gold.
I'm trying desperately to think of something else that would separate me from the masses... hummm... damn. I guess I'm just a regular, white sheep.

I don't, that's part of what makes it disappointing. Most of what I've seen of browncoats here has been all about finding what's beautiful, be it physical or something else. And when it's something physical it's often non-traditional.

False. They do. All the characters get their feelings hurt, feel threatened, act irrational, take something the 'wrong way' or something else like that that makes them, you know, human. They mess up, they fight, they take issue and have issues with things. I think you maybe need to watch the show again.
I really liked Trash, but Our Mrs Reynolds isn't on my list of favorite episodes either. It was good, but it loses the element of surprise on repeat viewing, whereas in Trash you already know that YoSafBridge is out to con someone. Plus it has the great "I can kill you with my brain" moment :)
