[firefly] Serenity (spoilers behind the cut)

Holy... shit.

That felt like 2, maybe 3 seasons all squished into two hours.

Also, it's one of those movies that make me hide and cringe a lot. Is good that I went with someone I could hide behind! Gah!

Y'know, I don't _LIKE_ movies that make me want to hide and cringe, dammit. Briefly, sure. But that was not an insignificant amount of cringe! Still all cringe-y...

I wanted to know more about Book's past! Not going to find _that_ out, now...

Also... kept thinking "I see dead people".

Sheesh. No explanation of why the hell Book wasn't on the ship anymore, either. Meh. At least Inara had some _forewarning_ for not being around anymore.

Dancing/fighting River was neat, though. And, since River's was one of the mysteries I most wanted to know more about, that curiosity was at least fed.

Also? Most abrupt and least dealt with death _ever_ - even for Joss. Poor Wash. We lost our comic relief, dammit! And trading one couple for another is _NOT_ a fair trade! (Also, hello sudden and abrupt change from courtship to sex! I always got the sense that he was _shy_ - even with regrets and almost death and such, it'd not have happened _THAT_ fast!)

On the plus side, brynndragon is good to hide behind and cringe in the general direction of. ;)

Book: Someone also pointed out that... who are the two older black male characters with devout belief? Also, that conversation he had with Mal, where he told Mal that they were going to send an operative and waxed expansively about how they work.

*nod* I caught this, and had thought that this was probably where he came from before (he knows too much about the alliance). But I want to see them investigating it, even though I have strong suspicions. Y'know?
