[Nebula] Nebula Finalists 2006

2006! New Horizons began its long journey to Pluto, the United Nations
Human Rights Council's formation signals the permanent end to all human
rights violations, and Canada's Stephen Harper forms a minority government,
in what is surely his only term before Canadians come back to their
senses.

Which 2006 Nebula Finalist Script's Film Have You Seen?

Serenity by Joss Whedon
Battlestar Galactica: "Act of Contrition"/"You Can't Go Home Again"

Both of them. Alas. Serenity is eminently missable but to critique
it I had to see it. I'd like to remind people I was right about
Whedon.
