Serenity vs Firefly

[tiggz]

i just watched the deleted scenes on the Serenity dvd. i have to say, if they had left a lot of those scenes in it would have been much more my movie. don't get me wrong, i loved it. i'm very much glad that Joss got to tell his story. however, River was never my favorite character. neither was Simon. i'm all about Inara, Mal, Wash and Zoe. i want to know more about them. i want to see more of what we did in Firefly with each character getting their fair share of screentime. i think that's why i've got a small, burning hope that this isn't the end. that in the next movie i will get to see more of the characters i love. it's also why i much prefer Firefly over Serenity.

oh and the Re-Lighting the Firefly special feature? made me weepy. i am, indeed, a sap.

see my favorite scene in the movie was the "why did you leave" mal/Inara scene. I dont know if that was one of the ones on the DVD but when I saw the completed movie I was so pissed about the cutting of it. River's character was one of the main reasons I was so so on the series so I hated that she was the main character of the movie.

that is on there! it was my favorite of the deleted scenes. for people who never saw Firefly i'm sure the whole Mal/Inara thing just flew over their heads and just simply didn't care. if that scene had been left in, it would have not only explained them a little bit to new people, but it also would have thrown existing fans some kind of bone.

i hated that River was the main character too. Joss just really has a thing for waif little girls kicking scary monster's asses.
