rallamajoopSince the movie's coming out in a couple of months, my sister and I finally got around to watching all fourteen episodes of Firefly last week. By this stage I think we must have already ranted to... perhaps half of you? about our shared reactions to this show, so I'll sum up my overall impression in brief here:
OMFG they fsking CANCELED this show?!?
I mean, this is the show that *Mum* - the one who doesn't get science fiction at all, who never really got much out of Star Wars or LotR or any of the other classics - came in to watch with us whenever she caught us in the middle of an episode - even joined in with our communal grumbling about the insanity of American television network executives once we finished it. Watching Firefly has been one of those rare experiences like finding one of those stories you've wanted to see for ages but didn't think actually existed - it's dark and it's violent and it's cute and it's fun and it has nine of the most engaging characters I've seen on screen in a good while and if you haven't seen it already? Seriously, it is worth tracking down.
The movie comes out end of September. We'll be counting down.

Indeed! They do say non-swearwords in Chinese sometimes, from memory Mal buys a drink at some stage. But the concept of using Chinese fits very well with a futuristic world - isn't it the most spoken language in the world at the moment? :D
