Geek House

It's Christmas for all you motherfuckers on broadband/cable connections. T.V. Tome has made available online ALL the special features except the episode commentaries from the Battlestar Galactica Season 1 DVDs. I suppose it's a form of marketing, acknowledging that sampling is by far the best way to garner interest in your product. Yay for that!

The big geek event of the week, though, is the release on both sides of the pond of Serenity, the first big screen directorial outing for Joss Whedon. Fans of the shortlived Firefly television show are salivating right now because they just got some resolution to the show's main plot thread. Why did the government mess with the brain of a child prodigy? Why has it hunted her across the known cosmos? The movie - hey, Cinema Paradiso is a film; this is definitely a movie - doesn't repeat what we saw already but doesn't make the unititiated feel like they're missing information either. What's that? Impossible, you say? Well, that's why Joss fans love Joss. And, if the reviews in the press are anything to go by, plenty of former George Lucas fans are learning to love Joss too.

I've stolen enough links from my friends; check out weblogs Heimlich Manouvers and I Quote Myself for more information. Plot spoilers have been clearly labelled because we all care so damn much.
