From here to the eyes and the ears of the 'verse, that's my motto. Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on.Watching the video of River taking down dozens of men in a bar.You guys always bring me the very best violence.Eating people alive?

Expect you'd want to say your famous last words right now. So I hear a word out of any of you that ain't helping me out or taking your leave, I will shoot you down. Maybe find something I can use to get clear of this. I ain't waiting for the Alliance to choose mine. Anybody doesn't wanna fly with me anymore, this is your port of harbor. This job goes south, there well may not be another. Come a day there won’t be room for naughty men like us to slip about at all. Put this crew together with the promise of work, which the Alliance makes harder every year. But it also means I got to step twice as fast to avoid them and that means turning down plenty of jobs. Now you stuck a thorn in the Alliance's paw. That don't include you 'less I conjure it does.

So bottom line - if you didn't watch Firefly, you probably won't get it, may not like it very much, and you might be confused why there are such great reviews.River Tam People don't like to be meddled with. It was also nice to see the characters again after the series ended (even on DVD). I felt like I knew the characters and story so much better and I really loved how they tied some loose ends together. The characters were more 3D, the one-liners were amusing, the music didn't bother me a bit (I was starting to like it), and I really liked all the nuances from the actors (I changed my mind - not bad acting). When I re-watched Serenity again after seeing the TV series, I thought it was excellent. After just a couple episodes I was really enjoying myself. OK, I'll give it another shot since clearly we *must* be missing something! And that did it. We were going to give up when a friend loaned us the Firefly DVDs. Were we missing something? We even watched Serenity again giving it a second chance. However, I have heard only excellent things about the series Firefly and the following movie Serenity. The cowboy theme music didn't sit well with us either. We thought the one-liners were kind of cheesy, the acting a bit poor, and we weren't at all impressed (except for maybe the fight scenes with River). I must say, we were a little puzzled about the great reviews. My husband and I first saw this movie after just reading these excellent reviews and not knowing anything else about the movie or characters.
