So, I watched Serenity.



Wash's death was a cheap trick, not because of how it happened but because his supposed wife showed no reaction. I know she's ex-military, but you'd think there'd be SOME reaction. I was fine with the death until it came to the bad acting decision of making Zoe a blank face, because it bled into her "sacrafice" and "losing control" scene.

I loved the rest of the movie, even though I don't like Simon and Kaylee getting together. Jayne was great, wanted more Kaylee, Simon actually made me like him, and River was frankly awesome, which I wasn't expecting. I cried so hard when Book died-- one of the better death scenes I've seen lately (granted I was affected similarly by Alias.... yeah.

I liked the reavers touch, and laughed because in a way, Joss wrote a zombie flick. XD



Top movie of the Fall. Would gave been #3 movie when factored against the summer movies.

Time for work ;.;

But the movie was good despite the deaths! Joss always kills people on his shows (notorious-- just look at Angel's last season!). I think he has issues, but I love him even so.

Seriously? You need to see the movie. I've never laughed and cried so much watching a genre film-- a lot of it is honest humor, not cheap jokes. Plus, I love Jayne and he was awesome in this movie XD

Wash is my fav.....so I suppose that won't stop me from seeing it. It would have been better had Zoe bit the bullet though...then we would have seen Rambo Wash. XD Jayne IS cool too....

You know, I think Joss missed a HUGE op. Wash would have been a better choice to live because the actress who plays Zoe did *nothing* with the ripe material of having your loved one killed so suddenly. But Wash? Totally would have been kick ass like he was in War Stories. Granted then there'd be Wash/Mal grief-sex fics running around like mad, but it's a small price to pay XD

Honestly though? Wash's death was well done, it was just Zoe's reaction that killed it for me.
