Sure, I May Be A Massive Geek, But...
...I am so looking forward to Serenity!
I'm not really sure how I missed the series when it first aired, but suffice it to say that I did. Truth is, I'm not normally up on the latest fall series, so I wind up missing a lot of shows from the beginning, only to catch up on them later in the season after all the buzz. [This, for example, explains how I didn't even hear about Lost until about 6 episodes in.] Obviously, with how short-lived Firefly was, I didn't get that chance. However, with all the talk about the movie, I wound up deciding to watch the series when Sci Fi started airing it again this summer. At first, I liked it, but didn't think it was mega-fantastic. But then, as I kept watching, I was well and truly hooked. So hooked that I wound up putting the episodes I hadn't seen on my Netflix queue so I could watch it that much faster.
Why isn't September 30th here yet? Okay, so I probably won't see it until October 1st. In which case, why isn't October 1st here yet?

I watched "Firefly" back when itt first came out...didn't like it. It's hard to mix the sci-fi and western genres and make them work. So, as you may imagine, "Serenity" doesn't really interest me.
I was into "Lost" when it came out last year, and I'm still into it. Have you been watching "Battlestar Galactica"? It's a totally excellent show...and I can't wait for new episodes to start in January.

I do watch "Battlestar Galactica" and am looking forward to the second half of the second season starting in January.

Hey, credit where credit due. I was the one who turned you onto Firefly by incessently talking about it and Serenity. Randy, I think the the sci-fi and western genres mix well. It's a cool, stylish, and funny show, one that was too short lived. I hope the movie spurs the return of the show.

And yes, you are a massive geek.

You're aware that bloggers (at least those who signed up, no idea if they are still taking requests) are getting to see it for free on the 27th and 28th, right?
I would have gone, but I'll be babysitting tomorrow night when they do the press preview here in Denver.

Crap. If only I had known. They're full up by now.
