I was just looking at Amazon and got a surprise when I noticed Firefly is still #19 in the Top Sellers list. Serenity is sitting at #25.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.

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.

In comparison with the USian poster, the International poster practically screams, "Watch me!" Just in comparison, but it begins to make more sense that Serenity did so much better, relatively, overseas.
That said, I don't really like either poster all that much. I like the Serenity logo much better.

Wait, wrong show....
Not necessarily. I say the cast should take a page from Farscape's book and audition for roles on BSG... renewal by infiltration.

Art Crawl!!!
Sure, or like Buffy alum Eric Balfour and Angel alum JAR -- they could be on Conviction.
Why isn't there a Firefly alum on there already?

TWoP has done a recap of Serenity! I just started reading it, but I'm already in love with this nailing of Mal:
He loves his ship more than anything, but like with anything else he loves, he has no idea what's going on inside her.

Ah, I was just coming here to pimp for Jacob. He's the Nice One. Also, the Verbose One.

I would be very entertained to see Adam Baldwin standing next to Jamie Bamber. And by "standing next to" I mean "looming over."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oooh, looking forward to that recap. I haven't read Firefly recaps, but Jacob's recaps of the Apprentice, especially the late season episodes and especially the last five minutes of the last episode, were masterpieces.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
There's another crash and shake, and Simon looks nervous. "Fear is nothing to be ashamed of, Doctor." Simon explains that it is not fear, but anger that he is feeling. Mal says it's hard to tell, and Simon gives him a snippy over-explanation in reply: "Well, I imagine if it were fear, my eyes would be wider." Mal says he'll look out for that next time, knowing full well that Simon's wrong: it's fear.
This feels very incorrect to me. He seemed neither nervous nor afraid to me for the majority of the film, this scene in particular.

I don't think Simon is afraid for himself, but he is afraid of what might happen to River. The only real disagreement I have with this beautiful recap is that I feel we do see multiple aspects to Jayne. Namely, when he agrees with Mal (quoting Book) after Mal's St. Crispin, and more subtly during the EMP when he makes sure to strap down everybody else before securing himself.
There were also a couple of minor errors, such as the two guys monitoring River and Simon's escape in the beginning are not blue hands. They might be meant to evoke them though as a sort of injoke for fans of the show. There's also a few misquotes probably because of the subtitles.
But overall, a great recap.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Jacob finds the deeper meaning in EVERYTHING. It's amazing.
