The Mountain strikes out on a number of levels -- pretty, acting, writing.
At the very least, it looks like Tim's taken care of pretty and writing.
Go for the threefer, I say, but I'd show up just for the writing.
And the imminent deaths.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

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
If anyone wants to place bets on the number of gruesome deaths in the pilot, I'll hold the money.

The pilot might be a little early. He has to really make us love the characters before killing them off. Perhaps the second or third ep?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Can she act?
Can she kill?
I think the most important question here is - Can she die?

The status is NOT quo.
You've seen Photo #4, right?
This proves to me she can wax, not that she can kill.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kristin, I was thinking the same thing. Every time I see a photo like that, all I can think is "ouch!"

Oh, dear lord. I just flipped through the rest of the pics. She's very pretty, though it'll take more before I can actually remember what she looks like.
My trauma comes from reading the comments. Yuckickicick.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
ita, my trauma is your trauma.
