I watched Serenity a while back (mid-January 2006). I tried the show (Firefly) before that when it was on SciFi. I never did get into the show. Today, I was a bit bored and tried the show again, on DVD. I watched the premiere episode and it was pretty damned good. I think with the SciFi showing before the movie, I had missed the first few episodes, so I was not completely in tune with the characters. I'll keep on watching the show on DVD and maybe rent Serenity again.
