True enough. Add that to the great many things I didn't like about TGiQ.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In one of the Firefly commentaries, NF points out that Adam Baldwin doesn't blink when he fires his gun, due to having a lot of experience with shooting. He says AB was the go-to guy for action scenes as he had done so many of them and really cared about them.

Probably, among other things, the result of having to shoot that big-ass gun in Full Metal Jacket for Kubrick for so many months (years?). I think Animal Mother's machine gun is one that's usually tripod-mounted, and, knowing Kubrick, it was probably the real deal.
Though it wouldn't surprise me if AB was a gun enthusiast to boot.

Go team Baldwin. I remember the gun thing from the commentary. I've next to no experience with guns myself, but apparently, not blinking is hard. Jackie Chan always used to fire a shot in the air to get used to the noise so he wouldn't blink.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It is a bit hard, though it helps to be aiming at something that distracts you from the noise.
My boyfriend: great at EVERYTHING!

Enh, there's tons of actors out there that have been throwing crappy punches onscreen forever.

Oh, hell yes. That girl has the least credible fight scenes I've ever seen. Somewhere, Michael Dudikoff is laughing at her right now.

I've seen worse. Like Allysa Milano on that witch show.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've probably seen worse, but it wasn't Alyssa.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Like Allysa Milano on that witch show.
Is her character supposed to be a good fighter? (I've only seen a few minutes of the show, but I thought it was more about boobs and throwing flashes of light around than actual hand-to-hand fighting.)
