Andi and I are watching The Train Job with Joss and Tim commentary.
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

What is even happening?
I guess I should ammend that by saying that I don't share in the rosy glow of some of the fans being exploited for this marketing push. The movie, to me, just drives home the fact that we got screwed out of some really good tv.
The screwing stole my FF joy. I'd really like Joss to make me a brand new world. /where's my pony

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aye caramba, we've got a movie coming and a comic book too, but it's nothing but bitterness here.
I really don't get the burbling pit of negativity. Sucks they cancelled the series, but I'm thrilled to have the movie (and the comic for that matter).
I don't think the fans were exploited. I don't see that at all. What exactly do you expect from a marketing plan anyway?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sorry, Hec. My glass, she is half empty. That and they closed my comic store and I haven't found a new one yet to buy the comics.

I could pick up both issues for you. Would you like a Mal cover and a Kaylee cover?

That's very sweet and takes away a little of the bitter. Thank you.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hey, Hec, as long as you're going to the comic store anyway, can you pick me up a copy of #2, too, if there's an extra? It sold out fast around here.

I'm not bitter, I just lost the joy. It's the completist in me that will prompt me to see the movie.

You got it. They had a bunch.

Okay, joyless.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I also have some lingering bitterness despite being happy about the movie, because I like a brilliant TV series better than a brilliant movie in exactly the same way I prefer a brilliant doorstopper fantasy trilogy to an equally well-written novella. I like long stories. I like settling in with beloved characters for years and seeing how they and their world grow over time. That's more of a TV thing than a movie, so for me the movie is at best partial consolation.
