The previous rant was outdated, let's have a new one, eh?
This time around I will do nothing but mourn the greatest and by far most ingeniously written project ever broadcasted in any form of media. Call me shallow, for though I hold a deep admiration for Schindler's list, Ghandi and 'La cite', all dear favourites of mine, I must stress that Joss Whedon's (A name that until recently filled me with contempt for I detest Buffy) Firefly is quite possibly the best-written series ever aired. Most everything about it is, for lack of a better word, great - but as an aspiring writer and English Major, I tell you that what really shines is the dialogue and the characters.
I could further laud the actors or Joss, I could cast scorn and contempt upon FOX for canceling it in favour of reruns from the 80's, Indeed there are many things I could do but will not. I will leave this post nothing but a brief, and unmemorable praise of the mastery of written word displayed in the series. Most noone will read it and none at all remember, not even I, for it is really nothing. It serves only to sate the urge to praise it. Perhaps it will plant the seed of curiosity? I will move on.
It -is- a fairly heavy post, but it's pretty timeless so I don't have to feel bad about leaving it up there for a long time, hah! I needed to get some of the love out of my system before I blew up. I just picked up the Firefly comics they made (very few) so I had some extra.

There's a movie too! And I still have no idea what the series is about, except that it's set in the future, the dominant nations are China and USA, and there's some excellent english. And that the series got cancelled. I'm never gonna be able to wait till the easter break to find out what it's actually about....
Well, the series got canceled, but the fans formed a mob that forced them into making the movie, which isn't that good, because it's sole purpose is to provide some closure. The dominant nations are not US and China, they merged together to form a single, great galaxy-spanning government called the alliance. They speak mostly english, write and read Chinese, and all swears are in Mandarin. Beautiful.

Also, I'm going to borrow that series from a friend, so it's nice to know it might be worth spending some hours on!
