All too often in life, things get overwhelming and everything seems impossible (like stuff I talked about in my previous blog).. sometimes aren’t.

Any regular reader will know I’m a big fan of the cancelled TV series Firefly and big screen movie Serenity - people said it was impossible for anything to be revived after the series was cancelled but through continued support of fans the movie Serenity was born. Firefly fans are passionate to say the least, but they’re also some pretty amazing people. There’s a documentary DVD that goes behind the scenes of the Firefly world and illustrates just how possible it really is to do the impossible!

I hesitate to call this a “fan” documentary because it’s so much more than you’d expect - a totally professional production so jam packed full of extra material including a bunch of extended interviews with cast members and a fully interactive PC component that lets you do so much more than just watch a documentary. I hesitated to buy this earlier but was very surprised at how good it was when I eventually did get it. If you’re a fan and you haven’t got it yet, trust me when I say it’s time you did.

If you enjoy the music used throughout the DVD you can also buy the soundtrack.

I finished watching the three seasons of Stargate Atlantis on DVD and really enjoyed it. I’d seen the first two seasons already, but decided to start by watching them again before starting on the 3rd season. I think it was a good move, got me right into all the characters again. I started watching the extras on the DVDs including some of the commentaries, very enjoyable. Finally, SG1 arrived in the mail and I’m working my way through those in a hurry given that I haven’t been well and therefore had plenty time on my hands. While I’m certainly enjoying the episodes, I haven’t developed anything close to the connection to the characters as I have with the Atlantian crew. I know a number of new characters come into it at some stage and maybe that will change the dynamic. I have still had a lot of enjoyment from SG1 though, so no complaints here….well… except about how long I have to wait till the next season of Atlantis comes out on DVD!
