Can't stop the signal.

I went to see Serenity with my mom and my grandfather. I was a little disappointed with the moviegoing experience--I would have preferred to be closer and higher up in relationship to the screen--but I loved the movie. A few notes:
1. I don't want to go read what other people have to say because I know people are going to hate that Joss killed off Shepherd Book and Wash.
2. I loved the funeral. I especially loved Zoe's outfit. "If I'm gonna wear a dress, I want something with some slink," she's said, and the funeral dress was appropriately slinky. I also loved that it was white.
3. Most surprising vibes: Mal/River. I loved, loved, loved the scene where the blast doors open, and they're the only ones standing, her over a pile of Reaver bodies and him over his crew. Totally awesome, and it does make her a worthy match. I also loved the end when she says that she likes to hear him say it even though she knows what he's going to say and he tells her that love is the first thing about flying.
4. In general, I loved the end. Inara's maybe back, Simon and Kaylee finally get to have sex (although Firefly did make me want Mal/Kaylee), Zoe's grieving but okay, and River's as sane as any other Alliance-made psychic living weapon.
5. The merchandise I wish there was: I'd love a brown shirt with the Serenity logo over the pocket area and "I aim to misbehave" across the back. I'd also love a black shirt with "Can't stop the signal" on it. I will be looking for such things. I also have a wall that needs some decoration, and I've been thinking that Serenity crew photos framed to match the Spike and Angel photos on another wall would be perfect.
