"more'n seventy little earth's spinning about the galaxy, and the meek have inherited not a one"

So, I saw this via [livejournal.com profile] whedonesque this morning and read "According to a blog at KnoxNews, the online version of the Knoxville News Sentinel, InstaPundit’s Glenn Reynolds has 150 tickets to an advance screening of the film available for local bloggers." and thought, "I didn't know Glenn Reynolds was a Firefly fan." I checked his blog but didn't see anything about it. Then I came home from my full day and my dad had sent me an e-mail [this link has fairly non-spoilery images from the film] and DUDE [this link is nonspoilery save a small version of the US promo poster]. Advance Screenings that you get free tickets to provided you blog a review of the film. (Refreshing the flist now, I see the links have hit [livejournal.com profile] fireflyfans, and [livejournal.com profile] whedonesque.) There's a Boston one, which tempts me mightily. Though I've seen it already and I don't think anyone who reads this journal (can I even count this a blog?) has escaped my mad pimping of the show.

I've been surprised how many of the blogs I read fairly regularly are done by Firefly fans. There's Glenn Reynolds, but also Daniel Drezner

(with this interesting comment by "allen," "...Whedon doesn't appear to care about building a consistent and scientifically-viable technology. He just invents technologies, back-story and economic situations as he goes. That would be evidence of laziness if Whedon weren't so good with the characters. It's sort of at the other end of the spectrum from the classic, trashy space opera in which the characters and the situations exist merely as a pretext for the special effects.")
and Jackie Passey,
too many posts to chase down but the most recent Joss-esque one here:
