Serenity NOW!!!!!

Dictionary.com defines serenity as “The state or quality of being serene” and “a disposition free from stress or emotion.” I've been inexplicably achieving it lately despite all outside conditions. I've developed a “whatever” attitude for all the insignificant things that I used to place far, far too much importance on. I've been relaxed behind the wheel, and taking the long way home along the coast. Is it like Frank Costanza's ”Serenity now”? Am I a ticking time bomb waiting for some little pinprick to burst my balloon of zen? I don't think so. It hit me today driving home that the way I've been feeling lately, is like myself. I have no idea what that means. I also thought “I'm back”, which makes little sense as well. I don't know who I've been or where I was, but it's good to be me. However, all my talk of calmness and a relaxed state of being flew out the window a few hours ago when I saw THIS TRAILER and nearly screamed like a girl, remembering at the last second that I was still at work as were many people.

If only EVERY show FOX prematurely canceled got a feature film like Firefly. It'd be very easy for me to go off on a tangent about how they canceled Tru Calling six episodes into the second season, waited until a month ago to air them, and then only showed five out of six, arguably the best five of the series with a lot of plot seeds left to now wither. This trailer looks HOT and while I'm hoping the sounds in space are just for the trailer and not for the film, I could live with marketing pushing Whedon to put the sounds in for the dumb general public because otherwise, I am excited. Ron Glass is conspicuously absent from the trailer, but everyone else is there. Nathan Fillion is still one of the baddest mofo captains of any sci fi series, and Summer Glau's River gets to seriously cut loose. You do NOT mess with either of these two and not suffer consequences. And I think I saw a R****r, but I'll block out that for anyone who doesn't want to be spoiled. Adam Baldwin is in full form as Jayne and Alan Tudyk gets in the kind of wisecrack that only a Whedon character could. The ships look a little clean and CG but it may be too early to judge that. Hopefully, they can get into this story with minimal exposition for newcomers. All I know is September 30th seems very far away, and I wonder if anyone is still reading at this point. If it was me reading my own blog, I don't think I would have gotten past the words THIS TRAILER.
