[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. ;)

actually don't read comic books as a category. It's difficult for me.

Ditto. Especially if they are black and white, because then I can't _see_ what's going on. My eyes don't parse black and white graphics very well.

In the case of Serenity, the three comics are sufficiently small and thin and not-dense that they read quickly even for me. (A couple of times I had to double back and make sure I caught something, but since there was little enough there, it wasn't _too_ much trouble.

Ah! Hmm. I may have to see if anyone I know has them, then. Thanks. :)
