I have some cream for it, but it just won't go away.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
I finally got my new issue of Entertainment Weekly, and in the TV day-by-day highlights section, this Friday's featured entry is:
Firefly: Although it may be hard to envision a future where horses and spaceships seamlessly coexist, Buffy creator Joss Whedon's space Western did just that. The short-lived series starring Nathan Fillion as Capt. Mal Reynolds rides again, including three episodes that never aired during its original run on Fox, which is bound to make the show's devoted fans happier than a ranch hand on payday. As a bonus, the rebroadcast leads into the Sept. 30 theatrical release of Serenity, a full-length feature film--with the original cast intact--based on the show. Saddle up! A-
Accompanying the entry is a wonderful picture of Capt. Tightpants himself.
Did anyone here see Serenity stuff at ComicCon? I hear it went well, but not from anyone who knew enough Jossy stuff to give me details.
I heard it went great, and Joss showed the world premiere of the final cut.
the last 2 samples beathen linked may be slightly spoilerish
I'm staying spoiler free as regards to plot and most everything else (I won't even read spoilery reviews) so the last two track names mean nothing to me.
So, it looks like such was the clamour for tickets they've added an extra two nights in Edinburgh.
A-
Minus! What's with that?!
eta: There are three viewings listed for Edinburgh. All are sold out.
The minus is probably a good idea. People are often wary of A+ ratings, as they tend to be indicative of a lack of objectivity (read: tainted by nerdery) that probably wouldn't reflect their Joe-Sixpack opinion.

Forgive me if I'm repeating, but there was a panel--with everybody but that guy in Spamalot. Just good natured palaver. The closest thing to hard news was that the movie is finished. Funniest bit: Nathan gave us the secret to soap opera acting--a good three part reaction shot. When another character tells yours something, and the camera is on you, just think: did I leave the stove on?; yes, I did; no--I didn't. Facial expressions that work every time.
Joss was seen shopping for Harry Potter.
And there was a screening of said finished film at a downtown multiplex. Shiny.
Excellent.
