Like a thief in the...something...

Take a moment and relive the little bit of joy known as the Serenity blooper reel.

SO GREAT, right? The cast is funny, and they obviously enjoy each other's company and their work. But there's something else here that tugs at my heart and my imagination. To me, this is our future. This is a picture of heaven. (And not just because Nathan Fillion is there, although, duh.)

Our lives are full of intensity and anguish. We yell and scream, we run about frantically, we fight our enemies. We fight our friends. We are tortured. We are killed. And then, suddenly, without warning or fanfare...we are laughing. Our pain vanishes as if it were never quite real to begin with, and our faces change. The people we were just locked in fierce combat with grin at us. We shake our heads and marvel for a brief moment at how foolish, how inconsequential, how pretend all our striving against each other was just now.

We are revealed.

(And then what? Have I just metaphored myself into scoring a point for reincarnation? Hm.)
