Boy, was I ever late to the Firefly/Serenity party.

I didn’t hear about it until last year, when people started raving about how good the series was. Well, recently I managed to get a copy of both the movie and every episode in the short-lived TV series.

I sat down and watched everything in two days.

I won’t bother with in-depth reviews or comparisons to other shows (OK fine… Cowboy Bebop). Let’s just say that I was completely blown away. The story, the characters, even the music–all touched me in a way that no other TV show or movie ever has. Firefly is that good.

Maybe it’s the central theme to the series–living a deliberate life in order to be free–that spoke to me. Man, I just don’t know what else to say.

Great storytelling, great sci-fi. Joss Whedon rules.

Fuck you, Fox.
