You people have no lives; Firefly/Serenity is just a piece of entertainment, y'know!!!

It just..... things felt off, unbalanced and wrong. Now don't get me wrong, it is a good movie and maybe one day I'll pop it into the tray, but as it stands it's not something I can watch over and over like some films. To me the movie is a shadow of the greatness that is Firefly. But that's my opinion and I wouldn't force it on anyone or argue with those that love it.

Now if this was done over time, spaced out over a year in small doses, like maybe a second season, but we never got that and Joss just fit too much into a two hour span. And the characters especially paid for it. JMHO.

Whoa... That is exactly my take on it too!

Mal was too... and Inara
wasn't enough... and well.. you get my drift.

Still an excellent movie on it's own. And I currently own all three versions of it. That speak volumes on how much I dispised it

Please.. if you have to throw something, make it softish somethings...please??

I actually hid my eyes and cringed when Wash got stuck by the Reaver rod at the Raleigh CSTS. And how many times have I seen it? Too many to count.

The next thing you'll be trying to convince me of is that Star Trek isn't real. Some people just don't have a grip on reality.

Had me goin' there for a tick, Chris! Thought maybe you'd gone from Browncoat to Turncoat, like I've seen some do.
Good to see I was wrong!

Well, actually, my all-time favorite is Steve McQueen's Le Mans. Must've watched that at least 237 times! (Wore out my table-top DVD player!)
First really super-realistic movie I saw as a kid — I've always been obsessed with the cinematography.
Somebody put together a great trailer for it...

Well.... I just finished my life-sized Serenity model in my front yard made solely from old tires, play-doh, and milk safety seal strippers (my cat loves these).

You sir have seriously dampened my FF enthusiasm.

Star Trek not real??? Blasphemy! Who is spreading these lies?

Rallem - I like your reality. Can I join you there?

Love that flick- saw it in the theatre first-run.
Side note; it was directed by Lee H. Katzen, who also directed the pilot for Man From Atlantis.
