Great trailer for Serenity.

It's the trailer for Serenity, a movie based on the Firefly series. It's a very good trailer that makes me, a non-Firefly fan (I haven't seen it), definitely want to see the movie.

I really should watch the series, but unfortunately the series takes up about 5.34GB. I need a bigger harddrive...
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Now why on Earth would you need a bigger hard drive to buy or rent the DVDs? :doubt:

Looks great, but I literally fell asleep during the last quarter of the trailer.

I guess it's for fans only.

I'm afraid it doesn't really look that interesting to me.

Great trailer for Serenity.
It was a Sci-Fi series set in kind of a Western theme.  The main characters were smugglers and bandits of a sorts, living in the systems outside the primary control of the ruling alliance.  2 of the main characters fought in a civil war some years before to challange the formation of the alliance, but lost.  The ship they fly in is Firefly class.  They have a prostitute living aboard, although its a respected profession in that culture (to those who are trained and certified, which she is).  The series also had a priest riding with them as a "passenger", but I don't recall seeing him in the trailer.  My favorite character was always Wash.  On a slightly wierder note, a common language in this future culture is Mandarin, so they sometimes utter words in that language.  They usually curse in it or exchange angry words in it, though no subtitles are provided.  Its up to the viewer to either A), know Mandarin (and get past the accent), or B), infer what was said by the subsequent reactions.

I wanna say "YAY!", but I saw half of one episode and didn't really get what was going on.  Wasn't there some impressively unique about that bloody spaceship?
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Oh yeah, I recall seeing a few episodes on late at night.

It was definitly a strange show. The western theme at first didn't really appeal to me. But the show and characters to grow on you after a while.
It can also be seen as a breath of fresh air from Star Trek etc.

A movie eh? Dunno how well that will go...

You need to watch the DVD's, they put the show in order, the problem with the TV release is they didn't start the show with the actual pilot that explains everything :)

I am excited about the movie, I like the captain, he's like Han Solo before the editing of the Greedo shooting ;) He shoots first :)


"I'm unarmed"

"Good" *BANG*

The random cursing in chinese was nifty too, and all the space scenes were entirely silent.

One of my favorite scene with Capt. Renolds was just after he won the duel on Persephonie (SP?).  He's disarmed his opponent and they're all like, 'You're not allowed to humiliate him like this.  Kill him and be done with it', and he's like 'its said that mercy is the sign of a great man', then he jabs the guy a few times in the stomach with his sword and then says 'well, I guess I'm just a good man', then jabs him a couple more times and they says 'well, I guess I'm OK' and walks off.

Both Kaylee and the Preacher were in it, in the scenes with all of them in the cockpit.
