All I have to say is "Doing the impossible makes us mighty".
Just because "Star Wars" defined the Sci-Fi genre doesn't mean that "Serenity" will redefine the Sci-Fi genre or even the Western, Dramatic, War, etc... genre. Hell, can Firefly really even be put in a genre. It really does go beyond almost every known genre. The only reason why we define Firefly as Sci-Fi and a Western is because it is the look of the show. a friend of mine said that Firefly is really something new set in a future fontier.
But I think it would be awesome if "Serenity" did take home the Oscar for Best Picture. I mean when the show was cancelled, many said that Firefly would simply disappear. When it was rumored to be put out on DVD, many said it wouldn't happen. When it it was rumored that Universal wanted to make a movie, many said who would make a movie of a cancelled 'failed' tv show. I get these same responses when I say that "Serenity" could replace "Titantic" as number one box office hit of all time. Remember the long trek that Firefly has taken and look at its come back. Lets not give up hope because it seems impossible. Becaus,e as we have already proven, the impossible can happen.
Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.
