Having been turned on to a review by Orson Scott Card (one of my favorite authors - Ender's Game, anyone?) several weeks ago, I decided to go out an check out the movie. Oh my goodness!  It was awesome!  I've rarely had a movie experience quite like that - fantastic!  Even not knowing the backstory one bit I was completely engrossed in the film and quickly fell in love with the characters.

After seeing it we decided to go out and purchase the complete series of Firefly, the FOX television series on which the movie was based.  I was very impressed!  I'm now an addict of the series and really want to see the movie again (though I'll probably wait until it comes out on DVD unless someone wants to go with me [hint, hint]).  It's too bad they didn't keep up a good series, though FOX, it seems, does that: throws out good, quality stuff for trash.  I can't think of the last time I actually watched something on FOX since the X Files or the occasional The Simpsons episode.

Oh well, Firefly is beautiful...what a cool show!
