The trailer for **Serenity** , the eagerly awaited movie follow-on to the much loved Joss Whedon show **Firefly** , is up on [quicktime.com](http://quicktime.com).  
Oh man, I can not wait.

I just watched it, full screen. Wow. I need to go rewatch the series again.

The trailer looks pretty cool for the most part, but what the hell did Zoe and Wash do to their hair? They both look far too glam. And I didn’t see Book either, where’d he go?

I thought Zoe’s looked strange. Wash has never been one to settle on a style for all I can tell.

As for Book and Kaylee, they’re both in it. Just probably nothing teaser-type in their scenes, maybe.

I actually arranged a get together tonight to watch it at my apartment. Trailer’s downloaded, computer’s wired into in my entertainment center. Showtime. Hopefully I’ll be able to talk my friends into watching an episode or two. Again. 😃

You can see Kaylee in brief glimpses in the trailer, but there isn’t a single shot of Book. I know he’s in it; he and Kaylee will probably both be more prominent in the next trailer.

It just occurred to me that Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character seems very, very similar to Jubal Early from “Objects In Space.” I wonder if Joss originally intended him to be Jubal, but changed the character when the actor wasn’t available?

Too much Mal, too much River, not nearly enough Kaylee-cuteness.

The link was inaccurate when you posted. I bought two tickets (in Atlanta) over an hour later.

After my purchase, there were still ten left.
