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!

  16. Jerssica says:

    This is Wash's moment (and duh, he's a leaf on the wind, he's AMAZING) but I love Jayne running around and checking on everyone before taking care of himself.

  29. Karen says:

    Joss Whedon is a cold hearted bastard.

  30. CollegeBookworm says:

    I am typing this as the worst moment in the entire movie is coming. I will not submit until after, for spoilers.

    But DEAR GOD THIS IS SO MUCH HARDER WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT IS COMING RIGHT THIS MOMENT. I AM A LEAF ON THE WIND. Mark, we weren't quoting that with joy. No joy. Leaf on the wind = tears. TEARS.

    I MEAN IT. TEARS. So much harder. Here it comes. Deep breaths. And he opens his mouth and OH GOD N. JOSS WHEDON HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

  31. pica_scribit says:

    WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!!!!

    This is like the Joss version of JKR killing Hedwig. Seriously. If Wash can die, ANYONE can die.

  32. ravendaine says:

    Oh god, oh god, oh god….whew, ok. Breathe. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  33. Fuchsia says:

    NOOOOOO WAAASSSHHHHHHHHH </3

    Noooooooooo

  36. totiebinds says:

    I have an eyebrow piercing and normally I don't even remember it's there but if my facial muscles tighten in certain ways, it starts to hurt.

    This epic chase with Serenity and the ship going down makes my eyebrow hurt TONS.

  37. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    WASH WASH WASH!!!!!!!

  38. NB2000 says:

    FUCK YOU JOSS WHEDON! You evil genius

  39. Jerssica says:

  45. NB2000 says:

    Oh god Zoe

  46. pica_scribit says:

  48. hpfish13 says:

    Zoe, so stalwart even in utter crushing despair

  49. canyonoflight says:

  50. Pineappletastic says:

    But the grenades, at least.

  52. Narcissaa says:

    'well I might'

    JAYNE YOU COMPLETE ME.

  53. hpfish13 says:

    Thank goodness for Jayne's grenades

  54. monkeybutter says:

    I love Zoe for being on top of everything no matter what. It's why she's my favorite and Wash's death makes me so sad for her.

    "he ain't comin'."

  55. quizzabella says:

    Sometimes I hate you with the power of a thousand suns Whedon you evil genius.

  57. Mogatrat says:

    OH MY GOD the next time my friends are depending on me in a vidjagame
    it will be time to be a leaf on the wind and sacrifice myself for my fellows
    that it my decision for quotes from now on.

  58. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    Zoe – Do you really think any of us will make it through this?
    Jayne – Well, I might.

    Oh Jayne, never change.
