And that's why you don't teach lessons to your son.

I was an avid fan of BtVS/AtS, but I never saw "Firefly." The premise didn't interest me (WTF cowboys in space? I don't even like cowboys in their natural habitat), and it never got a chance to really take off and change my mind before it was canceled. So I had no earthly clue what "Serenity" was until early this morning ... and then it was just, "Oh, okay." But now I hear that it's screening where I live, and though it's sold out, there are always ways to try and get into these things. But the real question is, should I even bother? Would someone who hasn't seen "Firefly" even understand it? Is Gina Torres more tolerable in it than she was as Jasmine or Anna Espinosa? Is Nathan Fillion a murderous Southern preacher man? Haven't watched the trailer because you have to download QuickTime. And to download QuickTime, they also make you download iTunes. Well fuck that. I hate that shit. DON'T MAKE ME DOWNLOAD THINGS I DON'T WANT TO FURTHER YOUR OWN AGENDA. I'm so freaking tired of seeing Mac products all over TV shows, as if it's even realistic that apparently, 99% of computer users use Macs. Talk about fantasy.
