I'd sacrifice a goat.

I'd probably run to sacrificing two goats.

Or maybe sell my soul. It's not being much use to me at the moment.

All my goats, kittens, and wishes on stars are dedicated to getting a Democrat back into the White House.

Eh, save your goats (or donate them to Betsy). We aren't getting more series and you'll be able to see the movie for the price of a ticket.

I think some think that Serenity will be the most amazing thing ever ... and others are lamenting the fact that it is no longer a continuing television series.

I may be naive, but I continue to hope for both multiple movies and a tv series of some sort, even if it's somewhat different from the original. It's not as good as having multiple seasons of Firefly, but I'll take whatever I can get and beg for more. I never would have thought we would have actually gotten the movie either, but that didn't stop me from pimping like crazy.

signed, conflicted about whether or not to pay over $500 to come to a party by Allyson for the opening (with the bonus of meeting laistas and seeing LA), or to just use that money to see the movie many times at home, either of which may give some idea of how much I adore that bright bug.

how much I adore that bright bug

What a great phrase!

I've given up on the renewed series only because I think the BDM is going to be a very different animal than the BDTS. Cattle to beagles really.

I'm desperately wanting to love the movie and am, therefore, depriving myself of the show dvds until the premiere so that I won't be too prone to comparison.

It seems like one of those 'you can't go home again' kinds of things. I remember when the first Star Trek movie spawned rumors of a 'reimagined' series. Well, yeah, totally different seri (plural of series is what? ) but not ever the same feel.

Thanks Beej!

I understand that futures seri (love that) would have to be different, but I love the Fireflyverse so much that I think it would be worthwhile.

I am a teensy bit worried, because I expect to love the movie so much that I may be setting myself up for disappointment. I'm just so invested in it (not literally). On the other hand, I may be so out of touch with reality that I wouldn't let myself not like it. We'll see.

I'm seriously with you on the nervousness.

On the other hand, I'm consoling myself with the fact that I've loved everything Joss has done. I even liked the Buffy movie when it came out, despite the near deafening shouting down it got.

So I'm counting on the fact that I am the perfect sucker for his mindset, even if the Fireflyverse is a bit different than the one I fell in love with.

A lot like a marriage, I guess. Things change. You adjust.

In one of his interviews, Joss said that he writes things to create cults. I've never been a joiner before but hey, I'd be happy to push his bandwagon up a hill if it ever broke a wheel.

After receiving it on three different accounts, I was finally able to open the 'message from Joss' just now.

I keep rushing over to appledotcom to see if it is Tuesday yet.

::twitching::

Hell I'd love more movies, and I'd love more TV episodes, but hey... I'm just very grateful, glad and super-excited that we're even getting this movie.

I understand that futures seri (love that) would have to be different, but I love the Fireflyverse so much that I think it would be worthwhile.

But would they?

Hmmm. Maybe so. I'm thinking about how the X-Files movie didn't really alter the series much, but then, the X-Files wasn't prematurely cancelled after only 13 eps. Also the movie in that case was pretty much just a two-part episode with a bigger budget and extra pretties.

Whereas, from what I am hearing (and a big THANK YOU to Tamara for not spoiling the plot for me when we talked at the Lost party), Serenity is an actual Movie. Of the BD kind.

So I guess...

It seems like one of those 'you can't go home again' kinds of things.

Sums it up quite well.
