I can’t think of a movie that I’ve ever anticipated more. ---

We watched the Wonderfalls DVD’s just last week and it was interesting to see Jewel Staite in a very different role than Kaylee. –Cliffy ---

Jewel also makes an appearance in a _Dead Like Me_ episode (towards the end of the first season), playing a punk rocker music-store girl who gets shagged by Mason the British male Reaper. As if fantasies about Kaylee weren’t enough for me… 😃 ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Foremost, we must bear in mind that we may be lucky that the series died before we had to sit through “Firefly, the Musical”. If this is meant to impugn the greatness that is _Once More With Feeling_ then consider yourself persona non grata in _my_ house. As to the OP, I am actively trying to convert everyone I know to _Firefly_ so that they will also be anticipating the movie. I went to _Constantine_ opening night with a group. They better plan on going to _Serenity_ with me. ---

Speaking of shows that have a musical episode, my wife watches _7th Heaven_. Recently it had a musical episode, which _really_ showed how bad such can be. _Once More With Feeling_ was unbelievably fantastic in comparison. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > Was that the Buffy Musicalmy stepdaughter watched? _Once More With Feeling_ is the Buffy musical episode. It was a 5-star episode that was easily one of the top 10 episodes. ---
