OMG Patrick Stewart is coming to your college?? afjkhlkfdlskdf I love that man. He is so poised.
Hmm. I guess I would have actually liked Serenity less if they had tried to answer everything, tie it all up in neat little bows and such. Shepherd Book was always a conundrum to me, and I suspected strongly that he'd been some kind of alliance Major Bad Guy Possibly An Assassin or some such whatever. I was definitely sorrowful that I never got to find out, but it didn't bother me too much. I get bugged by stories that try to tie up everything neatly at the end because it doesn't reflect real life.
I didn't have a problem with the tone. I felt it matched the pilot of the series a lot more than the rest of the show, but what always startled and awed me about the show was Whedon's willingness to get at the messy aspects of things. My favourite part of the series was the Reavers because of the utter chill they sent up my spine. He got very gritty with them and I really appreciate that.
I like the latest seasons of SG-1 as well, which is odd for me because I usually have a problem when they switch up characters. Probably a saving grace that it was Browder and Black from Farscape, because I love them. But still, it's been hard to not see Jack there with the team. *is a Jack/Daniel shipper anyway* :( But the Ori have definitely been pleasantly overwhelming; they make me grit my teeth and whisper "fight them!" at the screen. So good to see religious fanatacism addressed in the show.
