Random (spoilery) thoughts on Serenity

Spoilers are in invisi-text below.

  • Wow. Just...wow.
  • Waaaahhhh!
  • Great opening sequence--very witty, the way it pokes fun at clumsy exposition sequences, and keeps shifting scenes out from under the viewer.
  • Wanted more Book. Especially since I'd guess he ain't coming back.
  • Some great Wash scenes, but still--waaaahhh!
  • In the firefight with the Reavers, I wasn't sure anybody was getting out alive.
  • Joss is the Shan Yu of screenwriters.
  • You think River's creepy...try Miranda. *shudder*
  • Miss Isringhausen's cameo was great--heartbreaking and horrific.
  • Chiwetel Ejiafor--incredible. The Operative--coolest villain in a long, long time.
  • The Operative's face when he saw the Reaver ships--that alone was worth the price of admission.
  • Reavers vs. Alliance--way cooler than any space battle in Star Wars. Also, that encapsulated our BDHs' position throughout the series: caught between the Alliance and the Reavers (or other bad guys).
  • Wow. Just...wow.
