My one character-related bitch is the lack of scenes showing Kaylee's mechanical wizardry.
I had this, too. I would have like to seen a little more of Kaylee's Serenity love.
I kept thinking "He'll get better! He'll have a space-age cure, right?" right up until I saw the gravestone.
Yep. It's funny. Firefly is the show I'm newest to (I've only seen each ep once.) But, aside from possibly Wesley in Angel, and that less so, because I was so completely spoiled, I'm hard pressed to think of a Whedonverse death that has broken me more. Maybe because it was so unexpected and abrupt, maybe because Wash was so damned lovable, maybe it's because I only saw it yesterday, I don't know. It's hurty, though.
I saw the first really really rough screening in December and last night I. WAS.BLOWN. AWAY.
I didn't think it could be better but the CGI (what was finished) is amazing. The shockers get easier to bear on repeat viewing (but the crying remains). I don't remember some of the shocking dreams that River has when Reavers grab her from the previous viewing. I think those were added.
I couldn't believe I forgot tissue and I am officially Summer Glau's bitch.
Sorry to have missed you, Lilty! I totally forgot you were supposed to have been there. Happily, I at least got to see Jon and Frank for a sweet bit.
Crazy slayer from Angel season 5. The episode with Andrew.
Oh right. I was thinking of Buffista Dana and was very confused.
I still kept thinking "He'll be ok." for a minute or so after. As if he wasn't so very, very impaled.
I cursed myself for not seeing it coming, but mostly I cursed Joss for making me forget to. See, during the whole flight-through-gigantic-battle bit, I kept thinking, "Oh crap oh crap oh crap at any moment someone's going to bite it who's going to bite it any second now oh god" and it kept not happening. Once they hit atmo and things changed to "how will we avoid crashing" rather than "who's going to blow us out of the sky" my thought process shifted and I forgot to keep asking myself who was going to die. Which is why it was only after THAT that someone finally did bite it. When I realized what he'd done, I though, "Crap, he did it to me again."
It was stupid of me. I don't know why, but the idea of a big death very honestly didn't even occur to me. When Book died, I was sad, but since he wasn't onboard Serenity anymore, it didn't seem as much like the core unit was being broken up.
It shocked me, but didn't anger me- if I didn't apparently enjoy having my heart ripped up and fed to me at unexpected times, I guess I would have gotten off the Joss train a long time ago.
