Shiny.
Wow, that was a ride and a half. Some parts nailed, some not so much, some characters felt a little false, others rang true. Worth the wait, though.
Love the Reavers explanation. Whedon's still a bastard. Wish we would have found out more about Book. There was much discussion afterwards on whether the big battle at the end was the opportunity to cull *actors* who couldn't or wouldn't sign on for a sequel movie or series. Any one of them could have died, it just happened to be Wash... although it could have been a little more, y'know... heroic. Although I'm sure that would have just come across as melodramatic and staged, sooooo... *shrug* The randomness of life is one of the overall themes of the series and movie, so I guess it fits.

Having never seen the show
I have to admit, I wasn't disappointed by the face-fall when the reavers came out of the cloud cover . . . even as much as I was anticipating it, it was *still* worth it :).
And I want a 90# can of Whoop-Ass!
