  • Summary

  • Up this week, we have our second and final part recapping the Firefly movie, “Serenity.” Last week we left off with Mal finally meeting the Operative and Inara coming back aboard Serenity. The group (minus River) have a house meeting, where Jayne actually makes some pretty good points about how River is a liability and can take care of herself. Mal is turned all the way up in the brooding department after Jayne says he could captain this boat better than Mal. Jayne has a botched attempt at kidnapping River (she bests him) and she is loose on the ship for all of two seconds before Mal finds her surfing AOL to find Miranda—a black-rocked planet just this side of Reaver-land. Now this is where the story takes a bit of sharp turn to ‘huh?’ territory. We lose a well-loved character; we get a convoluted backstory about the origin of Reavers; we’re supposed to believe that the Alliance cares that River knew about this deep down; we lose ANOTHER well-loved character; we get some good fight scenes; and then it just sort of ends. Of course there’s things tying all of these together but it’s all very strange. Does it make for a bad movie over all? You’ll have to listen to hear our thoughts on that. Plus, Meaghan tries to manifest the comeback of America’s Next Top Model. George wonders where his nerd-brain went. And we ask ourselves if we’d watch “Serenity: The Sequel.”
