^ I Agree, serenity before Firefly is a NONO. It's so much more epic when you're a deprived Firefly fan who explodes when finally seeing SERENITY! I am sadly one of those people that saw Serenity before Firefly and I feel that it really took something away from seeing the movie esp. when my Firefly fanatic friends are crying because of Wash's Death and I just wasn't as in touch with the character like they were. I really liked him in the movie but I found my love for Wash in the tv show! By the way, I am with Scoobie. Drop whatever you are doing and GET. FIREFLY. NOW! |

I just finished watching Firefly-- minus the pilot episode, and I'm so upset it was canceled! I know it's a few years overdue, but there are so many unanswered questions. Like with River, and the Shepherd... I'm going to watch Serenity next week so hopefully it'll answer some of my questions but I'm getting that new-fan syndrome and canceled-show depression all at the same time.

I think that Serenity answers a good deal of questions about characters. I won't promise that they all get answered but I hope you will be satisfied with the movie! I still get sad about the show being cancelled. I know that there were still so many places Joss could have taken us if he had been given the opportunity! Anywho, let us know what you think of Serenity when you watch it!  |

And there are official comics too don't forget. As for questions... well, fan fic it! get scribbling! some of the best fan fic i've ever read is firefly/serenity based. And i hope you enjoy the movie! Will you go back and watch the pilot after? i hope you will, it has a lot to offer - even more so after watching Serenity. |

Thanks Meliafairy and Wytchcroft I'll be back with my thoughts on the movie when I see it. I have a couple of Firefly friends who promise to lend me their copies this week. I've thought about writing fan fic a couple of times, but I have an incredibly short attention span, lol. I'll keep it in mind though. Right now I just show my love with graphic-making, which I also find very relaxing. I do plan on watching the pilot eventually. Maybe after the movie. Now that I have the series in a new perspective, I think I can appreciate it better. |

Anywho, let us know what you think of Serenity when you watch it! I just finished it, and I am in shock. Here are my thoughts.... The Shepherd-- WTF?!?!? I did NOT expect him to die like that, especially with all the unanswered questions surrounding his history and whereabouts. Do they cover this in the comics? Why did he set up Haven? When did he leave the ship? Wash-- Let me just say, his death makes me want to make like a thousand tribute banners. I actually knew he was going to die because I mistakenly read a spoiler, but I didn't know how he was going to go down. Where did those sharp barbs come from anyway? Like a leaf on the wind.... so sad. And River-- she just kicked so much reaver ass in the end. I wish she had snapped to action a little bit faster, but it's all part of the suspense I suppose. Mr. Universe's robot-wife-- Hey, I got a Buffybot flashback! I guess that's it.  |

The sharp barbs came from the Reavers that landed right after Serenity did. Book's history has yet to be covered, but Joss announced at ComicCon that plans were still being made to produce a comic book on his background. |

Drusillacakes I'm SO glad you decided to go for Firefly and fell in love with it! I still get serverely depressed when I rewatch it and know it's ending, but on the other hand I've come to terms with the reality of it, and the comics and the moivie did fill a little bit of the void! I definately recommend reading the two comic arcs. They're kind of set out like an episode and they add a bit of extra knowledge to the 'verse.

Ah okay... that explains it, thanks HH Next time I'll watch more closely for that... As I was watching the film, I was getting really curious about those reavers. They're flesh-hungry monsters, yet they have enough brainpower to fly a spaceship. Doesn't it kind of makes you wonder what goes on in their their heads? Like, do they have their own Reaver-versions of the Serenity crew? How do they fix engine problems...? LOL, Secret Scoobie. I know what you mean. I'm getting withdrawl right now! We should have trans-continental Firefly marathons.  |

I just finished it, and I am in shock. Here are my thoughts.... Ah the 'bot, Leonora... yeah, a nice touch i thought. I thought River's arc was paced about right - but her character story really split the fandom at the time the film came out. Great movie! |

Firefly/Serenity is all new to me so I'm curious to know what the opinion was back then. Right now I'm watching the pilot episode (finally) in pieces. I'm trying to savor the last little bits. I'm loving it so far. Kaylee and Mal are so cute. That part where she kissed him on the cheek and said "I love my captain" was so aww-worthy. Also, about this: Wow, look at those glasses!   Too bad they had no occasion for him to wear those during the rest of the series. |

That is by far one of my absolute favorite moments of the show. |

I personally don't connect the movie and TV show versions So i don't even consider Wash and Shepard dying as part of the TV show story |
