Here's a little something I found at www.ew.com on their daily blog. It's a critique of the 2nd trailer.

Serenity (Sept. 30) ''You wanna run this ship?'' ''Yes!'' ''Well... you can't.'' The second Serenity trailer may look like your standard sci-fi action fare, and it makes pretty clear the drift of the plot (galactic empire pursues rebel ship, left, transporting girl with mysterious powers), but it's little Joss Whedon-isms like the exchange cited above, little twists on genre conventions that were a hallmark of Buffy and Angel, that promise to elevate Serenity above the norm and lend it some surprise.

And wow! Hey! What's this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like ... ow ... ound ... round ... ground! That's it! That's a good name - ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?
