I first heard about this at ComicCon, and I'm so glad I went straight here and bought it. If you are a "Firefly/Serenity" fan, it'll make you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time - just like the show. Like many others, I didn't even become a fan until "Firefly" had left the air, so I was spared the agony of its cancellation, but I can share the pain watching these Browncoats relate how it hit them and be inspired by their determination to "do the impossible" and keep the show flying. Watch this, and you find yourself loving the fans, loving the actors, loving the crew, and above all, loving Joss Whedon for everything he brings to his 'verse. And now that I'm one of those still begging those who haven't seen "Firefly" to just go ahead and BUY the DVDs - don't bother renting... who's given it for Christmas and birthdays, and who still hopes for more.... Well, I watched this and laughed and cried and sang along and really loved every minute of it.
