And the countdown has begun...

It's T-minus-one-day and counting until the release of the Serenity DVD.

Serenity will definitely be under our Christmas tree this year, and will probably be gifted to a few of our other friends. I just checked the Amazon.com sales rank and it's at number 2 in DVD sales. For those who haven't seen Serenity and are unfamiliar with its parent, the tragically-cancelled Firely TV series, the show has been called a western set in space. It's funny, smart and character driven, written and directed by Joss Whedon, the creator of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer empire. I never watched Firefly when it was originally aired on FOX, but became a huge fan after impulsively buying the series thanks to an Amazon recommendation. I just saw that Firefly is still hanging strong at number 7 in DVD sales.

I hope the post-movie release success translates into additional life for the Serenity and its crew - it's the best sci-fi in years and deserves to continue on the big screen.
