Look at the pretty Browncoats site. Isn't it nice and shiny? You'll have to join it in order to see anything below the cut, alas, but it only requires an email address.

Warning! After the cut, this involves massive, massive Serenity (THAT MEANS "FIREFLY THE MOVIE" KTHX) spoilers! This summary contains spoilers! All of the links contain spoilers except for the ones above! In all probability, so will the very few comments this gets! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

It's also probably not worth it.



One day, Joss Whedon decides to let a whole bunch of people see a prescreening of his new movie. Everyone is so excited! After seeing it, they're emotionally drained. Most admit it is a work of PURE CINEMATIC GENIUS. Many are happy, but quiet. Many are conflicted. Many are deeply saddened. A precious, delicious few are really mad. You know, like every time Joss makes something. Also, they're all... articulate. You might notice a few people in common among all those threads; the angry people are few, but v. LOUD.

jacquelinepassey has started a dramatic campaign! On her website, which I have been referring to as "save(spoiler).com" because I'm THOUGHTFUL LIKE THAT, her first entry sparks rather more argument than she had anticipated. The debate rages politely but viciously all across the board for days. And days. And days. Three days, to be specific. Then the whole thing degrades into GIANT ESSAYS and a precious few petty insults. I can't wait for the "jacquelinepassey camp" to refute, but I'm a Whedon fan. I like giant polite essays on why everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot (as I'm sure you've noticed).

Oh, and I'm in there, but not as a participant. I just made a really great joke about it and didn't say anything else.
