Firefly and Serenity

Joss Whedon's TV series *Firefly* was canceled by Fox in December of 2002. Fox has never been really one to give science fiction shows a real chance to build an audience, so this move by executives didn't surprise me in the least. I consider myself a sci-fan fan, and I couldn't really even get through an episode of the show without being really confused. I promise, dear readers that I will borrow the Firefly - The Complete Series DVD set and give it another try before I try and watch the movie Serenity.

What did surprise me was how the Browncoats (that's the name for the fans of Firefly) were able to garner enough attention for them to bring Firefly back to the big screen, and just how well Serenity is doing at the theaters (#2 in overall box office sales in the United States)
