Sad for a lot of reasons, but none greater than the fact that this show will never have another episode...
...I think the reason I wasn't hooked from the beginning is this isn't your average sci-fi show. You have to pay attention. You have to appreciate all the detail that went in, the complete ground-up creation of an entire culture, the style of language and speaking. So much detail, from the carefully crafted sets to the intricate design of a single prop only seen for a half-second shot. Then there is the cast synergy, the real human stories and on and on.
I found myself re-watching Serenity, seeing it in an entirely new light now that I loved the show. This made me even sadder, but it's a bittersweet kind of sadness you want to experience again. You don't want to let this show go. I see clearly why there are so many attempts to preserve or continue "The 'Verse". It's attachment, emotional attachment.
Well , " they kicked us down , then they kicked us when we were down..."
But , I'm thinking we'll rise again...One way or the t'other , we'll have more adventures in the 'Verse...Don't bet against the Browncoats !
Welcome to the boat...Send us some post , 'cause we all love getting post...
All the Love from the newish Folk helps keep 'er in the air !
