Serenity.

I have a favorite show. You probably don't know it or anything, because not very many people do. It's called Firefly. You might remember my mentioning it before: you helped me decide to go as Kaylee for Halloween. I'm not going to sit here and pitch it to you and tell you all the plot details and how perfect the characters are, because I don't need to. If you saw ten minutes of it, you'd be hooked. It is, simply put, absolute genius.

I love The X-Files. It's probably my favorite show ever. But in just fourteen episodes, Firefly completely took over my brain and my heart, and nearly uprooted the first place love I have for The X-Files-- or at the very least matched it. It's amazing.

Firefly was cancelled a few years ago after barely getting off the ground. Because it was so expensive, because the advertising campaign was so bad, because FOX wouldn't know a good thing if it kicked them in the pants (hello to the network that cancelled Arrested Development)... whatever the reason, Firefly was kicked out the door.

And then they gave the world the giant middle finger... and made Serenity, a full-length motion picture, to be released in September 2005.

The trailer came out today.

Please excuse me while I simultaneously:

squeal, call everyone I know, dissect the trailer into tiny bits, have a heart attack, have an asthma attack, squeal again, feel like I might wet myself, dance in my chair at work, do a cartwheel, shout in the streets, and hug Joss Whedon if I could only find him.

I could die right now and never ask for anything else. Do you understand?!
