I finally watched Serenity. I was frightfully busy while it was in theatres, plus I don't like watching amazingly choreographed flight sequences on a giant screen (sarcasm), but I finally saw it last night in the comfort of my cramped apartment. Like millions of others, I didn't even know about Firefly while it was airing on Fox, and only found out about it after I saw my friend's DVD collection. I thought it was a little much to buy several DVDs for a show that was so bad it had to be cancelled! Then I watched said DVDs and was blown away. I won't try to explain the appeal, but it's the best scifi series ever. Unlike many other fans of the series, I actually hate scifi tv shows. I love novels, and I can enjoy some movies, but shows just bore me to tears, not to mention making me cringe a little. The skimpy outfits, the anachronistic pop culture-speak, the humanoid aliens. Trekkie I am not. So Firefly was quite an experience for me, and I'm devoutly hoping it gets "uncancelled" (the exact lingo used in the industry, ya know). Serenity was quite, quite good, and I plan to buy the DVD after a while so I can watch it again and again. By "after a while", I'm delicately saying that I'm so broke I couldn't fork over the $20 bucks if I wanted to eat in the next week. Gorram student stipend.

And about time too
