"I am a leaf on the wind; watch how I soar."

Sadly, I am done with the Firefly series. I have watched the movie now, and while it was an incredible movie, I still feel rather unsatisfied. However, I think that is a feeling experienced by everyone who's seen Firefly and its accompanying movie, Serenity. I wish there was a way for someone to pick up where the movie left off and continue the series, but it seems unlikely, especially since so much time has passed since the first season. Alas, all of us Browncoats will be frustrated for quite some time. At least I can watch the series and movie any time I please!

15. Serenity - I'm impressed with how the film can stand alone as its own production for those who haven't seen the series, yet it also was a wonderful complement to the show. I'm thankful that the movie provides some character history, particularly Simon's and River's, and that they explain why the Alliance is so hell-bent on finding River. However, there were some character inconsistencies. For instance, Mal was a lot more aggressive than he normally was in the series, and I was a bit surprised to see him and Simon fighting so often and intensely. Still, the characters did a good job at maintaining their personalities from the show, especially Wash and Jayne. The action scenes were impressive and exciting, and I loved watching River go "Kill Bill" in her two fight scenes. I was definitely taken aback with some of the more tragic scenes; one in particular seemed to come from nowhere. Assuming that this film is the final installment of the Firefly series, Serenity was a superb finale to an incredible story.

Lists aside, the Wisconsin unions were put to death yesterday. It's a sad time for the middle class in America. I'm just waiting to see how long it takes before the middle class is completely gone. They're already starting to do the same in Michigan : http://michiganmessenger.com/47158/emergency-financial-manager-bill-on-the-verge-of-passage. The last thing I'm going to say about the whole situation is that people need to prepare themselves for much harder times.
