Mark Watches ‘Serenity’ LIVEBLOG!

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!

  27. ravendaine says:

    OMG River, you are soooo haunting.

  28. hpfish13 says:

    So ridiculously terrifying!!

  29. Mogatrat says:

    I love Fillion's acting here. He's pitch-perfect.

  30. EldaTaluta says:

    Zoe ♥♥♥

  31. sara_subrosa says:

    "There could be tears."

    Whatever, Mal, I saw you rushing River out of there like an old mother hen.

  32. Narcissaa says:

    THEY WANT US ALIVE WHEN THEY EAT US HOW FUCKING SCARY IS THAT.

  33. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    REAVERS ARE THE WORST THINGS EVER.

  34. canyonoflight says:

  35. hpfish13 says:

    Faster would be better!!!

  36. Mogatrat says:

    FASTER WOULD BE BETTER

  37. CollegeBookworm says:

    REAVERS ARE ONE OF THE SCARIEST IDEAS EVER. WTFUCK JOSS WHEDON. REAVERS. HIS BRAIN SCARES ME.

  38. Laurel says:

    "They want us alive when they eat us" UGGGGGH -SHUDDERS-

  39. Tam says:

    Get them inside the VAULT!!!

  40. Fuchsia says:

    "They want us alive when they eat us." So creepy, River.

  41. pica_scribit says:

    I believe you mentioned wanting to see Reavers, Mark?

  42. Asta says:

    "They want us alive when they eat us."
    River I love you.

  43. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    'Boy, sure'd be nice if we had some GRENADES, doncha think!'

  44. hpfish13 says:

    Grenades would be good!!!

  45. Pseudonymph says:

    "Well don't shoot me first!" Love you Jayne!

  46. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    I do love when Mal is negotiating which type of wound to give the guard to make it seem like he fought back.

    BACK TO PANIC ABOUT REAVERS

  47. Anonymouse says:

    OMG!!! REAVERS!!!! Those are some disgusting looking creatures.
    Also "They want us alive when they eat us." Not helping, River.

  48. fireflyfan says:

    faster would be better was a ad-lib line by nathan

  49. Mogatrat says:

    Oh no JAYNE!!!!

  50. Mreeb says:

    "Well, DON'T SHOOT ME FIRST!" Ahahahahahahaha!!

  51. hpfish13 says:

    OW!!! Harpoon in the leg!

  52. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    oh my god Jayne's leg.

  53. Neb989 says:

    "I swallowed a bug" best ever!!!!

  54. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    OH GOD JAYNE.

    Shoot me if they take me! …well don't shoot me first! <3<3<3

  55. CollegeBookworm says:

    Reavers are seriously just one of the most terrifying concepts ever. Seriously.

  56. Mogatrat says:

    Dude you're like more than an hour ahead.

  57. hpfish13 says:

    This movie is just so awesome

  58. Jerssica says:

    Adam Baldwin is all sorts of amazing in this ENTIRE scene. From his reaction to the Reaver-star thingy nearly taking off his hand and telling Mal to shoot him, but not yet. love it

  59. Narcissaa says:

    I swallowed a bug.

    DON'T YOU EVER CHANGE MISS TAM. NEVER.

  60. Laurel says:

    "O_O I swallowed a bug…"

  61. Fuchsia says:

    Hahaha the screen shot when they turn the mule around is pretty much the funniest thing ever. Freeze frame it when you get a chance.

  62. Mogatrat says:

    WASH FTW!

  63. katherinemh says:

    I love how calm and matter-of-fact Wash is when he's telling Zoe what to do. Perfect pilot.

  64. pica_scribit says:

    You are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ahead. We're 24 minutes in.

  65. sara_subrosa says:

    It's really kind of agonizing how slow their little speeder-car goes. Most scifi would have them zooming along but this really builds tension. Like I might die. GO GO GO GO GO GO

  66. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    I swallowed a bug.

  67. hpfish13 says:

    Run!!! Run now!

  68. hpfish13 says:

    River!!! You are the best

  69. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    "I swallowed a bug."

  70. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    Is there anyway to refresh without going back to the first page of comments. >:(

  71. CollegeBookworm says:

    I SWALLOWED A BUG.

    A BUG.

    HAHAHAHA.

    Oh god Reaver on the ship.

  72. Laurel says:

    Omg Wash <3333
    "Anybody here? ….Hello?"

  73. Mogatrat says:

    "Is he okay?!"

  74. NB2000 says:

    I swallowed a bug!

    ILU RIVER

  75. swimmingtrunks says:

    Yay for netflix and jumping in! My first Liveblog!

  76. Fuchsia says:

    Kaylee: "Are you okay?!" Hahaha Kaylee, I love your concern for the person WHO WASN'T INVOLVED.

  77. canyonoflight says:

    looool "I swallowed a bug." I forgot that line.

  78. Pseudonymph says:

    I swallowed a bug.

    And is Simon wearing heavier make up than usual?

  79. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    I love how Jayne pours alcohol on his wound, and then takes a shot.

  80. Laurel says:

    CHILLLLLLS at River's line.

  81. Asta says:

    So creepy, River. Argh.

  82. swimmingtrunks says:

    Mal is making the tough decisions!

  83. hpfish13 says:

    Don't get off the ship!

  84. monkeybutter says:

    Oh River…

  85. Narcissaa says:

    I love that Zoe questions Mal here. You are a boss Zoe. <3

  86. CollegeBookworm says:

    I kind of want to cry over Simon and River leaving. Not okay.

  87. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    thanks!

  88. Anonymouse says:

    River, honey, why are you being creepy again? And Mal, you can't kick Simon and River out! NO NO NO!

  89. Fuchsia says:

    And now the very, very intense intro is over… OR IS IT?

  90. hpfish13 says:

    You are so practical it hurts

  91. Becca says:

    Well, Jayne…
    xD

  92. Cartman86 says:

    "The girl, or you, or Jayne?!?! Oh Jayne…"

    one of my favorites.

  93. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    'Maybe that's why we lost.'
    Mal, you make me want to cry.

  94. Laurel says:

    "Maybe that's why we lost" :C Soul-crushing sadness, Malcolm.

  95. Mogatrat says:

    "Maybe that's why we lost." Oh, cold.

  96. ravendaine says:

    Oh Mal…your moral code is sooo…situational. Realest hero ever.

  97. hpfish13 says:

    Jayne you are so simple its wonderful

  98. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    I love Jayne's reasons for fighting. '…mostly when I'm getting paid.'
