Serenity Now
So I’ve been wracking my brain to find a way to make this blog about the CW when I haven’t seen anything new on the CW in about a month. So, here goes.
Last night we decided to watch a movie on our new TV (I’ll probably stop talking about it eventually) and we chose Serenity. I just got the collector’s edition for Christmas and I was really interested to see how it would be on the big screen with surround sound. (Awesome, btw).
So the way I got here? Serenity was the movie version of Firefly (which aired on Fox, so that was no help) written and produced by Joss Whedon, who was also the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which was on both the WB and UPN, which joined together to make the CW. See? See how I did that? I used to like to do that on the Serenity movie site, as well. The six degrees of Joss Whedon. I think that stuff is a lot of fun, but only if I have the time to sit around and randomly web surf. Which I just don’t.
My husband has just recently taken to counting the number of times I use the word “random” each day. So far the count is - several.
Back to Serenity. If you haven’t seen it, you should. (You should actually see all 15 episodes of the series, Firefly, and then see the movie, cause it will make it all that much better.) I saw that Serenity is On Demand right now, too. I think on Starz. It’s really such a great movie. I cry and I laugh at the same stuff every single time I watch it. And I’ve seen it many times. Don’t ask me to count.
I also cry every time when I think how incredible it is and how much I love that gorram ship and its shiny crew and now they are just gone, gone, gone. Do you think Joss will ever do another movie? I’d watch it.
(Just so you know, we are having a little problem with comments. If you comment and it doesn’t show up right away, not to worry. I’ll try to make sure they get approved as soon as possible.)

Love, love, love this show and I am also so sad that this shiny crew is no longer flying … well, they fly in my dreams, just not on our television screens.

Don’t you think that if they had given the show a better intro that it might have caught on a little better? I LOVED the show, the movie was great, but the intro just didn’t pull me into it. I never even saw it until after it was off the air… too bad, Joss’s stuff is just awesome.

Part of the problem when the show was originally aired was that Fox chose to air the eps all out of sequence. I watched from the very beginning, cause I already loved Joss, but I think if the network had promoted the show more, let the eps air in the correct order and not placed it in the Friday night “slot of death” it would have stood a better chance of finding an audience. They paired it with another new show (John Doe) as well, which isn’t a good sign either. Why couldn’t it have followed something like American Idol or House (of course, they might have been on yet back then, but you know what I mean.) Sorry, I get all impassioned when I talk about how much I hate the Fox network.

[...] Not just the fact that it was Terminator, but also because it stars Summer Glau, from Firefly and Serenity. And if anyone cares, she was also in one ep of Angel. I actually thought she was gonna be Sarah [...]
