So there I was hanging under the railing of Blofeld's armored speedboat racing down the Seine when it hit me.. I hadn't updated my blog in a long time!
I caught Serenity when it came out and was dazzled by the down to earth theatrics of a wild west set in solar system light years away. Joss Whedon has a knack for nailing dialog and characterization and Serenity is no different from his other efforts. But while I was watching it, I kept wishing I'd watched the TV show the movie was based on. So I picked up the DVD set of Firefly for my birthday.
I've got one thing to say about Firefly... Fox must have been idiots to screw something like that up. Almost every episode makes normal Fox fare look about as engrossing as 12am infomercials. But I guess when you don't show the pilot episode, then show other episodes out of order so the audience can't catch on, that's what happens. To put the cap on the donkey they switched the night it aired halfway through the (short) season.
Try to check it out if you can.
