orangerfulI just want to say, 'Serenity' (the pilot episode of 'Firefly', not the movie) is a fantastic episode(s). Watching it again today, I still get so very tense at that moment in the cargo bay, with Mal, Simon, Book, Jayne, the Fed, and Kaylee...okay, the entire cast is in there. It's just a freaking fantastic bit of writing, acting, directing, and editing. I've seen it a thousand times, but when Kaylee walks thru that door and gets shot, my heart skips a beat. The way Inara runs down the steps to be next to her and immediately covers her with her coat. The look on Mal's face when he argues with Simon over saving Kaylee. Jayne getting ready to kill the fed for shooting her and Book holding him back.
Just. AAAAAH! I love this show. I know, I know, I gush about Joss enough as it is, but the characters on this show and their relationships are just so mature. Perhaps that's why Firefly was doomed; it wasn't another show where everyone wanted to sleep with everyone else and secretly hated the rest of their companions. They were a family.
Jayne crouched down and staring thru the little window into the infirmary to check on Kaylee...that's a beautiful moment. It says so much in that one shot. That Jayne will talk tough and embarass Kaylee but really he loves her. He's her big brother, poking fun and rough housing but he would never hurt her.
I'll stop there. I could go on and on but I think just about everyone on my flist is a Firefly fan, so I'm really just preaching to the choir. But if you haven't watched your copy of 'Serenity' recently, pull it back out this weekend. Everyone gave 110% while making that episode.
Yeah, so, let's make this post interactive! Reply here with a favorite Firefly moment and gush with me! Any moment or moments!
