perhaps the oblique approach of sending Christian Bale over to make me watch my Firefly DVDs would result in Cindy watching hers without realizing exactly why?
If Christian Bale was present, wouldn't you have better things to do than watch TV?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Sounds like Cindy would too (not Cindy Lou Who), but she wouldn't know it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Jayne may not be book smart, but I don't think Rygel is fundamentally any smarter than Jayne
Hey! My beloved Dominar is way smarter than that lunk Jayne! As if!
::clutches imaginary Rygel plush toy to the chest::
Actually, I love them both. I think it'd be fun to put Ryg, Jayne and Cordelia from S1 BtVS and have them go at one another on a no-hold-barred nasty-off.

Yes, but since he's a happily married man I doubt I'd get to do them. I'd have to settle for watching the TV.
Though if he wanted me to watch that godawful Newsies movie again, there would be certain conditions.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Going back around 100 posts, or 15 minutes, the peak value vs career value? I'd actually say that Firefly is like (to move this into basketball territory) Bobby Hurley or Bill Walton. Rookie of the Year material, but sadly beaten and broken before it had a chance to show what it was truly capable of.

Well - except Bill Walton had a Hall of Fame career anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Those names mean nothing to me, or next to nothing, but I assume they all had a Joe Theisman like experience of some sort?

Len Bias was a phenomenally talented University of Maryland basketball player who collapsed and died of a cocaine overdose about a month(? -- fuzzy on timeline, here) into his pro career, back in 1986.
He is still a Big Deal on the College Park campus, which is why i know that name. The others, I got nothin'.

My memory says he never actually got to play for the Celtics - I think it may have been something like a month before, not after. But yeah, everything else is what you said.
There was another hugely promising Celtic like that who actually played for a while, and had a fatal heart attack (that also turned out to be cocaine related), but I am completely memfaulting on the name.
eta Reggie Lewis. Thank you, knowledgeable co-worker (decidedly not a cow-orker).
