Which, honestly, to be 100 percent honest, it wasn’t. I hated the movie. I understand its my fatal flaw, but I look at works holistically. One of the things that got me into firefly was it’s pacing; the promise that everything was going to have room to breathe. I would rather just have the first season; the movie crammed plot threads and character arcs meant to sustain an entire 5 season series into a 2 hour movie. Except its worse, because I got to see what the slow burn was like.
