...you can't take the sky from me...

I love that bit...

I enjoyed the TV show thoroughly, but voted no to the poll as I swore I would never go to a public movie theater again, I concluded it is all about hiding in the dark and eating junk food where no one can see you... I was thoroughly grossed out last time I went to a movie theater, that was about seven years ago. I will not brush shoulders with the rabble in the movie theaters ever again, I'm not interested in listening to other people eat.

When the DVD comes out, I will definitely check it out. Looking forward to it.

Bingo, I will get the DVD.

Can't stand mass movie theaters...   There used to be a small one I would see stuff at in The People's Republic of Chapel Hill (NC) that only sat about 20 people per showing. 

But they never had the really good stuff and haven't found one around here yet...

Actually generally I hit them in the early afternoon if the multiplex is open.
Monday afternoon/Tuesdays are usually pretty good, there's like 6-7 people tops in the whole theatre.

Course it doesn't work as well if you have a real job..

And just for the record, I assumed all the Gorn,Hydrans & Fed pilots would go for option C so
I'm not actually surprised at the turnout..

Although I will be severely dissapointed in anyone who doesn't go and see it..

And no t00l, you can't shave them, the poll explicity states they have to be furry
Otherwise the Klinks would all take that option as well..



don't underestimate the advantages of a little fur..... ;D

.. Assuming this is a valid question..

Serenity is the Film "sequel" to a short lived show called Firefly done by Joss Whedon (the Buffy Guy)
It was cancelled after @ 11(ish) episodes by Fox in one of the odder cancellations recently. They essentially
gave it a bad timeslot, advertised it as done "by the Buffy guy" and aired the episodes out of order which completely screwed
up the storyline.
Fox finally let Whedon get the series set up on DVD (I'm not actually sure if Fox even retained any rights to it) where sales went through the roof
Universal agreed to do a big screen feature of it to help wrap up some of the loose ends in the story. There is actually rumours/talk that they've optioned the rights
for sequels, but I (unfortunately) doubt they'll happen.

Essentially it's a story of a space ship & crew, the stories are (imho) Far superior to any Star Trek season- and that was in it's first year.
It is actually a story where the crew does have problems and there is some conflict amongts the crew.
-And real conflict and storylines- Not something stupid like Voyageur's or DS9's alleged " conflicts between crew members"

I honestly can't say enough about hte show-  I'm one who paid no attention to it when it aired and only picked up the DVD set- and it's
probably my favourite Sci Fi series ever - I'n a way I'm actually kinda happy it got cancelled- the first season seemed to hit a stride of
acting/ storytelling and continuity that arguably Star Trek never reached, and certainly not in it's first seasons.

thx Hexx, I had never heard of this show myself, but then again perhaps it never played up in my parts of the woods.

Has some links to vids that kinda explain it.

if you like (and I'd assume you do) Sci Fi shows and aren't
one of those (very strange) people who insist that Star Trek Series whatever
is the pinacle of Sci Fi and can never be beaten check it out-

It's a great show.

Never heard of Serenity or Firefly?  That's a shame.  I think it was on for one or two seasons on Fox.  Sort of the Old West in space.  Think of the captain as Han Solo without the smarminess.  It's was a good character-based show with some nice science fiction settings.  It is currently airing on the Sci-Fi Channel at 7 pm Eastern/ 4pm Pacific on Fridays.
