Joe, Actually they speak (when swearing mostly!) in Chinese; in this particular future, English and Chinese are the two surviving languages of Earth's decendants. Too bad you didn't watch Firefly first; Serenity makes a lot more sense (and has much more emotional impact) after getting to know the characters in Firefly; it's like watching season two before watching season one. Anyway, glad you liked it. I also know many Dr. Who fans, but could never get through enough of any particular show to get hooked (they just seem... I dunno, silly/cheesy -- is that how they are supposed to be, not to be taken seriously?); like Chuck I just don't get the appeal. I suppose if I just start at the beginning, like anything else... --- Joe Bauman <bau@desnews.com> wrote:
Back in September several members of the discussion group recommended the Firefly series that was cancelled by Fox and the related movie, Serenity. Last night I checked out Serenity from Holliwood Video and I was impressed (though it could have used a bit more editing). It had great atmosphere, particularly the use of Japanese characters, and odds and ends like a coffee mug. Thanks for the tip! I'll have to check out the Firefly episodes. Now if I could only find the new Doctor Who episodes on DVD. -- Joe
