Serenity

You know I don't see a lot of movies. Usually figure it as a waste of money. But last night we went to see Serenity. It was violent, somewhat predictable, goofy jokes, sappy ending. In short, just the Firefly we've come to know and love. I enjoyed it. I liked that it wrapped things up (sorta) neatly, so if there are no miracles that bring the show back I can be somewhat satisfied that I wasn't left hanging. But it also left me wanting more. Obviously I'm not too intellectual in my tastes...But I did grow to love these characters, this version of "space opera". From what Matthew says it had a following at his engineering school. He says its a geek thing. But then he also followed Enterprise and Arrested Development, so I'm a little concerned. And then there's the fact that I followed DS-9 and watched everything I could find on DVD. But when you think about it, it was kind of a space western too; The small town, the constable, the saloon, the natives vs. the cowboys. Maybe I'm just a Bonanza kind of girl.
