What a shame.

This is a terrific series. Though it’s in the oft-ridiculed sci-fi genre, everyone seems to love it. Perhaps it the more character driven way the story and conflict play out. Or perhaps the “Wagon Train to the Stars” setting, so different than the many favoured incarnations of Star Trek, Star Wars, and Babylon 5, keeps stories fresh and fun? Or maybe it’s because there are no aliens? That’s right, no rubber heads in this tv show!

In fact, Firefly is so good that we don’t want the meager 13 episodes to end! Joanne and I have been rationing the DVDs carefully.

“Should we watch one tonight, honey?”
“I don’t know… how many are left?”
“Only two,” I say.
“Nah, let’s wait a little longer.”

What we’re waiting for is the new feature film, to be released September 30th. The movie is called “Serenity,” named for the “Firefly class” spaceship. Pre-screening tickets have been selling out online within five minutes, with no advertising!

That’s a big difference between most movies lately, and if that’s an indication of how good this movie is, you’re not going to want to miss it!
