Speaking of space fantasies and things I've just been watchin', I recently caught the entire single-season of the cruelly canceled series "Firefly." It's a western in space, complete with weapons that look like Colt 45's, horses at home on every planet in the galaxy, and great vernacular dialogue. It was a very fun dozen episodes, but it never found an audience ... until it was too late. It's found a huge sci fi cult following. So there's gonna be a feature film called "Serenity" (the name of the show's spaceship) released in September.
