'Destiny'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Of the two of us, which one is the boss of me?
Why can't it be Jessica? She's got blue hair, and surely that's a good indicator of management skills. I think she would totally whip your life into shape. Your cooking skills would improve, your hair color would be adventurous, and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't just leave you in Cincinnati. You should let Jessica be the boss of you.

Since she's also Meh on Firefly, this could work....
ETA: the thing about Angel's calls didn't sound as porny in my head.
That's too bad.
And I fell in love with it and developed a mad Mal-crush from the DVDs.Nilly's probably the only (current) power in the 'verse to evoke the remnants of my faded passion for FF.
(not the unaired ones on the DVDs, because why would I buy DVDs of a show I didn't like),
I have them, can't be arsed to watch them. That said, I think I would buy most TV/Film DVDs with the hand of Joss on them, just 'cause. My love of his enormous squishy frontal lobe knows few bounds, and I will go see the film, as well.
Tep, I hereby order you to remain in the Firefly Wasn't So Great Club. And make me a sandwich.
For Firefly, the random Chinese slang bugged me, as did the "gorram" sort of slang, and it bugged me in the same self-consciously-trying-too-hard way BtVS S1's Teenage So-Calese slang bugged, at the beginning of BtVS S1.
I loved the Chinese slang, and learned to love the gorram-ary. It was consistent in it's interior logic and world-building. It might have required a buy-in, but once you made that adjustment then it added a lot of texture to the show.

"Woman! Get back in the kitchen and make me a SAMMICH!"

Look at that commitment! She is ready to take charge. She is not shirking responsibility - oh no.
Oh, HELL yes. This. So so SO much.The sad thing is, I'm not sure my posts would bear this out. I suspect if I went back into the Firefly 1 thread, I'd be all fangurly, even about that stuff. I thin I might have to face that it was more Joss thrall, pretty actor thrall, and Buffista thrall feeding my head, than the show itself.

A better test would probably be to watch the DVDs you own. Preferably with print outs of Nilly commentary nearby.
Actually, as I think about it, there were snippets that I liked about Firefly. Some of the dialogue was fabulous -- pure Joss. I liked Zoe a lot. And I loved the Calvinball game.
There just weren't enough snippets of goodness to hook me. (And -- I cannot stress this enough -- I loathed the frelling Hero of Canton. I don't know why he didn't get kicked out of an airlock. Which is why I was so resistant to him coming to Angel. Until he showed up in that suit and was all suave and masterful and -- GUH.)
