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.
Bless you, Nilly. You've added back a little shine to my tarnished view of Serenity. I'm so glad you got to see it, and so happy that you let us see it through your eyes.
I'm often awed by the fact that I got to discuss Firefly with you, a little, in Deb's kitchen. I treasure that memory.
It was probably one of the hardest things he's ever had to do in his life. And he did it. He saved the crew. He saved his ship. He saved his wife. He was proud of himself. That man who knew he wasn't a warrior and in most places would be shot down first. That man who was willing to live openly with his weaknesses, and wasn't afraid to love such a strong powerful woman. He was probably the most fragile of them all, along with Kaylee - good-natured, looking for the non-violent solution. And still, he chose to live there, on that ship, facing those dangers, with those people who in many cases didn't even follow his jokes all the way. And he saved them.
Nilly, you made me sniffle. Bless you, darling one.
Yes, bless you, Nilly.
From boxofficemojo.com:
Serenity displayed some relatively strong holds. The sci-fi thriller had a $2 million weekend internationally, led by the U.K.'s $868,664–a drop of 39 percent for a $3.3 million total there. Russia was the picture's sole opening, grossing a respectable $711,201 from 232 screens. Next weekend, Serenity lands in France and Spain.
Looks like I need to find me a spare hour for the Nilly. Really girl, you gotta to learn to say what you think, instead of holding back on us. ;)
Aw crap! Nilly review and I have to go to class. Will digest it properly later.
Nilly! I saw the movie just last weekend. I love your review, it feels so very much like hearing you talk about it.
Nilly. Dude. Seriously, put that on a website or a blog and get it put on Whedonesque.
It's probably the most in depth, insightful review of the movie I've actually seen - and given it's been in general release for 3 weeks that's saying something.
Regarding Nathan Fillion's acting and Mal, Nilly, I just want to stress one point: I agree with Nathan's assertation that he isn't like Mal at all. Because he's so NOT Mal. So, apparently, he really can act.
Kevin, it'll be on the Nilly review site soon. Her writing up of each FF episode is there.

We've asked that folks not do that.
