Years later the truth regarding the cancellation for Firefly, finally comes out.

I don't know how many hear have seen Rocky Horror Picture Show, or how many like it. I know I do. But when I ran across this article comparing Once More With Feeling to Rocky Horror, it peaked my attention and I had to read it.

I know AoD has said that OMWF was the one episode that really really impressed him.

Stuck at work and can't go see Serenity again. Relive it in 2000 Words. Umm of course this does contains spoliers as it details the whole friggin movie. But it's a funny read. I know AoD can relate to a few of the lines.

If anyone wants to re-watch the first 9 minutes of the movie, you can now at

So part of being able to go see Serenity last night was that I post something on our blog about the movie, be it positive or negative. Wanna guess which way I'm going? And no TML I won't spoil it for you.

Having now seen the movie twice, I can say that it easily stands up to multiple viewings. The movie is absolutely what I wanted out of the big screen adaptation of the cancelled series we all love.

It's also got enough in there that it draws in people who haven't seen it. At the screening I was at there were a lot of Firefly virgins. On the way out I stopped one of them, who I had overheard say he had never seen the show, and asked him what he thought of the movie. He loved it, said he got everything that was going on, but knew that there's stuff he'd understand more when he saw the DVD's. He wasn't the only one. I overheard a few conversations like that afterwards.

I will say this for the movie, Joss raises the stakes to a level rarely seen in movies. Everyone I talked to had the same feeling about it. You'll know what I'm referring to after you've seen it, unfortunately I can't give away anymore now.

The movie, is of course a great movie. It's also a great metaphor, for the battle that Joss went through on behalf of the rest of us browncoats to get the movie made. Now it's our part. 80 million worldwide and there will be two more. At the end of 2002 we were left stranded, much like the browncoats were left stranded on Serenity Valley. They thought we'd go quietly, accept it. But then the Amazon.com uprising began. And it was clear that the browncoats were a bunch of rebels that wouldn't go quietly.

Universal Studios became our Lafayette. And now the Box Office battle begins. Fortunately for us Joss Whedon has loaded our weapons with some mighty shiny ammo with the movie Serenity.

So Guess where I'll get to be tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m.? Want a hint. I'll give you one.

Joss Whedon, the Oscar® - and Emmy - nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.

And so it seems the "Session" saga comes to an end, at the same spot where it all started.
