What, is a little imagination too much to ask? ;)
Right - so what we're looking for here is "give us a list of movies we've previously discussed, but also the feature-length version of Firefly because duh, obviously it needs to be discussed." I got up on the wrong side of the bed today (actually, the discount Ross-purchased yoga mat and furnie pad underneath the mixer) but this shit ain't helpin'.
There's a joke in here somewhere about art imitating life.movies where the protagonists would much rather not be in space
Okay well if we're ONLY doing Serenity, I am going to say it's a Western in space. The place doesn't really matter. But background and context matters right?: If we are going by Firefly, I'm going to say it's part of the "Space Genre" because there are reasons that they need to be in space, space plays a big role in some of the drama in the show and the distances the crew are from home.
Good answer. The episodes "Out of Gas" and "Objects in Space" are, I think, clearly space, um, movie-like things. Most of the other episodes are space Westerns.
