This should be fun, since we’ve not done a liveblog on the new site with the new comment system. If this is your first liveblog ever, welcome and sit down for a brief instruction on how these things go down.
1) This is where the liveblog will take place. You can bookmark this page.
2) The liveblog starts at 11am PST. That’s 2pm on the east coast and 7pm in London. Consult a world clock if you aren’t sure what time it starts!
3) At exactly 11am PST, press play on your copy of Serenity! Inevitably, you may be a few seconds ahead or behind other people, but that’s ok.
4) COMMENT. That’s it. We are all going to be sharing our thoughts, emotions, reactions, and CAPS LOCK GIF PARTIES throughout the duration of the film.
It is literally that simple!
I will post a recap tomorrow afternoon with my thoughts of the film and then ask for what you guys thought. And then everything will be sad because that’s it. 🙁
Well…actually, I’m going to get ahold of the graphic novels ASAP and I’ll post one-off reviews of those over on Mark Reads! And then it will all be over. Sad times.
Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know. See you tomorrow!
Shoot him in the HEAD you muppet!
Wasn't exactly "Plan A".
Oh, Mal.
Nathan is so perfect in this scene. I can't take it.
That ain't exactly plan A
THIS IS SO GODDAMN INTENSE
My roommate says "Uh, WORD"
Every. Goram. Time.
And we got trouble here, folks, yes, right here in REAVER CITY!
Music Man reference right here? I think I love you.
OMG I WAS HAROLD HILL IN THE MUSIC MAN IN HIGH SCHOOL.
IT'S KIND OF AN AWFUL SHOW.
KAYLEE WTF NO
NOOO!!!! Not Kaylee too!!!
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO SHIT
And it this point, you're thinking "oh god. Joss Whedon is going to kill EVERYONE. He's going to do it."
SERIOUSLY. There's no hope.
Yeah, me too.
I honestly believed that. Honestly did. I was just "oh no, oh no, Joss is so bitter about Firefly being canceled that he is going to KILL EVERYONE oh god no, no, nooooo!!"
I mean, Wash died. Wash was my favourite for a very long time. Everyone starts getting seriously injured. And then Simon, my favourite, gets shot, and I completely lose my shit. And then River, my other favourite, goes to get the med kit, and I am gone. GONE.
And River in five…four…three…two…
Aw shit, now they've done it. River doesn't like you shooting SImon.
FGJKHDFLKJGHDLFKGJH WILL EVERYBODY STOP GETTING SHOT.
SIMON WTF THIS IS BULLSHIT STOP IT JOSS
SIMON!!
Why is everybody dying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH FUCK ALL IS LOST
I CAN'T
SIMONNNNNNNNNNN
SIMON SHOT OH NO NOT SIMON
In the early scene she has a long bow. They later cgi in a crossbow because it looked cooler.
"Three full mags and my swingin' cod."
I laugh so hard every time. "Mah swingin' cod" -LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY-
WTF SIMON NO. WHY IS EVERYONE HURT.
My turn.
I love you River!
OH, NO! Simon's shot!!!
Riiiiiveer!
AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! SSSIIIIMMMOOOONNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
'My turn.'
And run.
"My turn."
This is such a beautiful moment. It gives me goosebumps.
My turn!
RIVER TAM YOU STUNNING WOMAN I LOVE YOU TO PIECES.
My Turn
"You've always taken care of me. My turn."

HOLY FUCK THIS MOMENT IS THE CRAZIEST SHIT EVER AND I LOVE IT.
MOVIE TAKES TURN FOR BETTER.
Best part of the film. Shivers. So badass. I can't even.
ILU RIVER. SO. DAMN. MUCH!
*cries*
"My turn."
OH FUCK
And River kicks butt again! And again…. again…. Go, GIRL!
why is this SAD TIMES CITY, population EVERYONE
Because Joss FEEDS ON ANGST
River has got so much love for everyone on Serenity. It's so heartbreaking.
I know! Even when they haven't always deserved it. She's so wonderful.
And in the middle of all this epic they still find time to do the big knife/little knife gag!
Mal you need a better sword
'Do you know what your sin is, Mal?'
'Ah, hell. I'm a fan of all seven.'
Such classic Mal.
River!!!! That shot after she throws the bag always gives me chills.
Also, when will the world just accept that Nathan Fillion is the new Harrison Ford. Please cast him in all movies ever.
Seconded. Nathan Fillion is made of epic win.
Aww hell. I'm a fan of all seven.
But right now I would have to go with wrath.
Watching River being dragged away by the Reavers through the little hole in the door is the stuff of epic nightmares for years to come.
It just occurred to me… She is a reader. That had to make that about a zillion times worse, no?
-SHUDDERS-
Zoe's quiet confidence is so heartbreaking.
Mal, your refusal to cooperate is always awesome
How awful for everyone trapped in that little room, waiting to die. UGH.
ILU MAL FOREVER AND EVER
I'm going to show you a world without sin
PERFECT
"I'm going to show you a world without sin."
Would you like some aloe for your BURN, OPERATIVE?
"I'm gonna show you a world without sin."
Everything about this movie is perfect.
oh fuck yes, River, you deadly ballerina.
GO RIVER GO RIVER GO GO GO.
CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL NOW!
Oh my shit, River.
This gives me chills.
TIME FOR RIVER TO KICK SOME ASS!
SUMMER GLAU KICKS ASS.
FACT!
Even success isn't particularly satisfying because everything is so awful. Though River fighting is amazing
CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL OR THE GIRL, MOTHER FUCKERS!
That shot of River.
She is such a bamf, omg.
You can see in the Operative's face that the video finally broke his belief in the Alliance.
That shot is one INCREDIBLE piece of acting.
Coming this summer: RIVER TAMM BEATS UP EVERYONE
HAH I LOVE THAT COMIC.
Jayne looked a lot like Hugh Laurie there.
RIVE IS A LEAF ON THE WIND
I love this shot of River so so much.
Hero shots ftw
River standing there is the most epic shot in Serenity. Hell, ever.
River is just the most awesome ever for everything. The end.
Best shot ever:
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/kretch1967/gifs/Firefly/riverawesomestance.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
HELL YES
FUCKING. HELL. YES.
River you are crazy awesome
UGH MOTHER. MOTHER IS A PAIN IN THE ASS. I do not need to leave yet to pick up my brother. His flight was delayed. I can leave in ten minutes when the movie is over.
I love the part where blood is dripping of her axe, then she tightens her grip ready to do battle again.
River always did love to dance, now she does on the battlefield. I always tear up at the bit with her talking to Simon 🙁
No power in the 'verse can stop her
I like that they let Mal get truly beaten up, I mean, he looks terrible
His EYE freaks me out so bad.
I haven't commented in like five minutes because THIS IS AWFUL.
Awful sad or awful bad movie?
omg funeral so sad
River killing everything makes me feel slightly be–no, wait. Still sad about Wash.
RIP Derrial Book and Hoban Washburne :((((((
Oh shit I'm choked up.
Zoe you look so damn beautiful. This whole scene does.
All the tears.
STILL HEARTBROKEN
OH GOD ZOE'S SLINKY DRESS!! MY HEART IS BROKEN ALL OVER AGAIN!!!
So incredibly sad
Awwww sad funeral scene and Zoe looks so beautiful here and awwww Wash's headstone.
Saddest monuments ever? Y/Y
Zoe finally wears a slinky dress for Wash
YAY SIMON/KAYLEE FINALLY.
Hot Kaylee and Simon! HAWT!
But there's still life, and the crew's still there. Broken, but there.
Keep flying.
ceiling cat is watching you…
I absolutely love Zoe's dress in the memorial scene. And even Kaylee's in a skirt.
Ummm…Simon & Kaylee get together – and River watches.
CEILING RIVER IS WATCHING YOU DO THE NASTY.
CEILING RIVER IS WATCHING YOU HAVE SEX.
Mustn't cry. At the library…people will look at me funny. Damn it.
Gina Torres is the most beautiful woman in the world probably.
She is so beautiful it's painful.
ACTUALLY. All four females on this show are GORGEOUS.
Is it wrong that I want dinosaurs on Wash's tombstone? I do love that they're still on the console.
That would be an amazing tribute.
Zoe got her slinky dress…:(
I love that the Operative is so gracious in defeat. It was never personal for him; it's just what he does.
Funeral scene = EPIC SADNESS!
Zoe in a dress = so gorgeous
Shirtless Simon is back!!!
and better than ever!
I feel kind of bad for the Operative in this part. He's lost everything he believed in.
I always love that Zoe still had on her marriage necklace.
She's tore up plenty, but she'll fly true
