Yep, we saw Serenity in its Toronto opening, to a packed house.
Joss Whedon ( as per the PVP tee shirt : Joss Whedon is my Master Now) did not disappoint. The Cast acted their Hearts out. Things were Reveled, and No Punches were pulled. There was much blowing up. Friends will be greatly missed. And they made a Difference. It was intense. ‘I Am A Leaf Of The Wind, Watch Me Soar’
This is how it’s done.
Now I can enjoy the spoilers, browse the FireFly Wiki, re-read the Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon Time Magazine Interview, and watch (Via SF Signal) again Mosquito, a
fan parody of Firefly, called Mosquito. This 10 minute film takes the form of a behind the scenes documentary of the short lived TV series, Mosquito. Very funny, especially the part about the Canadians and Ukranians being the ‘meek’ who inherit the Earth.
