Serenity is Firefly ...

Firefly is the Star Trek of recent history.  It ran for one season.  It was
the best show on telivision during that time, but the WB canceled for some
unexplanable reason (perhaps they aren't in favor of TV that's actually
good)

Because the show was so good, after it got cancelled, they got a movie deal,
which became Serenity.

(Historical show data: Serenity is the _name_ of the spaceship in the show.
Firefly is the model of the spaceship.  Even more historical trivia: Serenity
was the name of the deciding battle where the galactic civil war ended ...
I don't know if it was the planet Serenity, or the city Serenity on some
planet.  Captain Mal named the ship after that battle.)

Anyway, anyone who knows me knows how much I bitched and whined when
Firefly was cancelled, so I've been jumping around like a drunken idiot
with excitement every time more information about the movie is released.

I need to purchase the Firefly DVD set, and have a DVD party before the
movie comes out ...
