Fresh thoughtss on Firefly and Serenity

I never got into Firefly, like at all. I think the extent of my watching was the first ep they played, Train Job, and a few parts here and there. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed when it came out. All I had heard was Joss Whedon and something about a spaceship. Now I'm a big sci-fi fan. I especially tend to love the more sterile and futuristic shows too, like Andromeda and ST: Voyager. I love Stargate too, but that's neither here nor there. Also, I am so not a big western fan. It's partly just the whole dirty and grungy sort of life. So when I saw the Train Job and whatever else I saw, I was mostly just put off. Part of the problem really was that Fox played the eps out of order I think. I probably would have been a little more interested in watching, though maybe not. Basically, I wanted nothing to do with the show ever again, which was easy enough, as it got canned so quickly. That was, of course, until I saw the short little preview for Serenity, and heard it was a little more sci-fi-ish than western.

( Just on the off-chance someone hasn't seen the movie yet )

All told though, I enjoyed watching the show and the movie, but I'm not terribly gung-ho about the whole thing. I'm most definitely going to have to start saying "shiny" for things, and I'll probably see the movie another time or two when it comes out, but I think that's going to about be it.
