Does she have tea?
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Aww, and Allyson always seemed like one of those hoopy chicks who really knew where her towel was.

When is this mystery new show to air?

More specifically than January? I dunno. So that's either sort of helpful or not at all. (Or potentially just wrong, but then, here at the b.org, how long could it possibly stand uncorrected if so?)

I have a towel. I proved it at the very first Towel Day, but don't see those pictures up anymore, so you'll just have to take my word for it. Or not.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just feel as though I could talk myself out of the towel-need.

Okay, did any of you see The Incredibles? Because there's totally two Firefly-like moments where characters get sucked into turbines and killed.
Funny but weird to see in an animated movie aimed at kids.

I just got back from it, Kat. I enjoyed the movie, though during some parts, I had an empathy twinge or two for the people who'd brought all the fairly young kids, because, yeah ... death by turbine. And electro-shock torture. I mean, brief, and all, but still. But I didn't have a kid in tow, so I didn't dwell. Fun little movie. The character of E just had me laughing. I am so easily manipulated.
There was a shout out to one of the Star Wars movies, too, which made me laugh out loud. Me and maybe one other person.

If I only had a brain...
My kids said, in the abstract, "Gosh, that was a weird thing to have in a kids' movie", but they weren't troubled. I said, "Hey, Bambi's mom died", but they said "Yeah, but she wasn't sucked into a turbine."

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Yeah but if they'd had turbines back then, I bet the Bros. Grimm or H.C. Andersen would've had one of their characters killed in that way...cos, cool.
