That’s my wife’s reaction to the trailer for Serenity, the upcoming big-screen follow-up to the short-lived sci-fi series Firefly. She always liked the fact that space was silent on the TV show, as indeed it is in real life. But apparently it won’t be in the movie.
FWIW, she’s a bigger fan of the show than I am, but then, she’s got the Joss Whedon background, via Buffy, whereas I do not. I have refrained from saying anything about this series online until I get a chance to watch the entire thing — I have only seen about half of the episodes so far — but for now, suffice to say I prefer the military adventures of Star Trek and Babylon 5 (all that pulling of rank, all those lines to cross, all those orders to disobey), and I have never been a big fan of westerns, and Firefly is nothing if not a western set in space. And something about the relentlessly sexy women, so many of whom kick butt, gets on my nerves, too.
