They're going to show "Firefly" in Israel! In a distribution larger than "Nilly lends Jon-and-Fiona's tapes and later her shiny DVDs to anybody she trusts enough with them", I mean! In, like, a real channel with real subtitles in an actual Israeli TV schedule that will be in the papers!
They started translating it and everything! And the translator doesn't know what to do with "shiny" (he posted on an Israeli TV site, that's where I saw it - it's the same person who makes the subtitles for AtS). And they're making him translate the Chinese, too. And, apparently, they'll show the episodes in order, and include the unaired-in-the-USA ones.
It's going to be on a plus package for a cable package, which means that you have to not only pay for cables (which, for example, I can't afford), but also to add a sum for that special package. But still, people here will be able to watch it (I will probably be completely horrible to be around, recommending to everybody and the like), and to talk about it, and I think it increases the chances of the movie to get here, significanly (don't spoil my hopes with realism and facts, please). Yay!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

For punctuation-abuse? Among Buffistas?
[Edit: In second thought, you're right - the one thing that could work is enthusiasm about a Jossverse show.]

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
In rare occasions, fervent exclamation point use is warranted, Nilly. I'd say punctuate away, dear!

Thanks, Lilty. Also, I probably should have posted this in the "Firefly" thread. Or UnAmerican. Hmm. Silly brain.

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 couldn't sleep last night, so I watched Serenity and The Train Job. Nodded off at the end, right around the part where Adam says it'll be "an interesting day" when the money is good enough to turn on Mal.
Which reminded me that it'll be an interesting day when Tim admits I'm right and he's wrong.
I'm so stoked about Firefly in Israel.

Allyson is with me! Yay!
You know how it's like, when you have a movie on tape, and still you can't not watch when it's on TV, even when you know you can put the tape inside the VCR at any given moment and watch it? That's like what I feel now, only without the actual showing of anything yet. It's the preview of that.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Firefly in Israel? What fantastic news!
Looks around for exclamation points to abuse.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Found a few spare e's too. Let's hear it for the most prevalent vowel in the English language!!!

About what?
Did the Israeli subtitler understands that the definition of "Shiny" as used on Firefly was made up? Why not simply use the equivilent Hebrew word?
