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.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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.

What is even happening?
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.

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.

With the talk around here, you'd think the movie was personally responsible for killing the series dead dead dead.
I'm bitter as hell and always will be bitter about the lack of TV Fireflyness. (We should be gearing up for season 4 right now. *sniffles*)
But that's not going to stop me from being excited as all hell about the movie. I've already seen the movie in rough form, but you know what? That's only made me want to see the final product more.

Oh, no, I totally blame the network. But that doesn't change the fact that I prefer TV as a storytelling venue to movies.

Yeah. This. And because my joy faded, I want something shiny and new, instead.

Nah. It's like I needed a little help making my last car payment, but didn't get any. Then my friends pooled their resources, and got me a night in a limo. The last car payment would have served me longer and better, but a limo ride is always swell.
