Years ago, my dad told me about a TV series he’d watched called “Firefly” and the movie “Serenity”. He went on and on about it. How good it was, how I should watch it, how much I’d love it, how I really really REALLY just had to give it a try. When it had all come out, I’d entirely missed the phenomenon and a bit of reading up about it at the urging of my dad didn’t particularly make me think it’d be worth it. A TV series that gets cancelled after 10 episodes and a movie made because the fans were upset it was cancelled didn’t sound that amazing to me. Grudgingly I watched the movie because there was no way I was going to sit through 10 episodes if it was bad.

Well of course I watched the movie and loved it, then watched the 10 episode series and loved it even more. Then I bought it all on DVD. I even bought Serenity on UMD for my Sony PSP, before buying it all over again on Blu-ray. I’ve watched them so many times I’ve lost count. Not that long ago, I was so proud when I came home one day to discover that one of my kids had seen the box set on the shelf and thought it looked interesting so decided to try it out on her own and loved it too. We then watched the rest of the series together!
