makes Total sense Consuela. Exactly what I couldn't put into coherent words last night when cutiehead Mal was maligned. issues.
Allyson, ok if I just call you #4 now?

[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Okay, it's Web, short for Webster, right? Not Webb? Cause seeing it both ways is already starting to bug. (cf. Lily, Leanne, Lynne)

What makes you think it'll be dropped?
What makes you think I thought it would?
IJS, I liked it but at the same time, it bothered me about the character.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Web made me laugh, but he didn't make me like him. Which is what happened when Mal shot that guy in The Train Job.
Yup. Web is supposed to represent the law. Instead, he murdered a suspect. There's no excuse for that. If he resists, then you can shoot him. Rebecca ought to turn him in to Internal Affairs, or whatever the FBI equivalent is.

I loved it. Totally hooked.
What I found really interesting about the final scene, after the "Damn I did that backward" bit (Webb is evil, in a way that should make for interesting watching), was the glimpse into the relationship between Web and uhhhhhh conscience guy (Paul?). Webb tells him 'take care of it' and Conscience guy says something like "I'm on it" - and the look on his face was...interesting.
It's just - he's conscience guy, but he's also "clean-up" guy. I'm thinking that'll be an interesting tension as well.
eta: I need to find more words for 'interesting'.

So far, the fact that I never liked Firefly is serving me well, it seems. I'm not seeing any of Mal in Web or Jayne in Danny, and that's just the way I like it.

Web is supposed to represent the law.
Supposed to, yeah. But apparently he has the semi-autonomy to pick and drop cases at will. I wonder if he has actual legal immunity in some way. Whether he just thinks he's above the law or whether he actually is above the law in some ways is a point to be explored.

OMG, they really don't work the FBI, it's SD-7, isn't it TIM?

Now tagless for your comfort.
I buy that she could skin one of her own hands, but the idea of then using the skinless hand to do the other and half of her face is hard to swallow.
I thought only one hand was skinned--that's what tipped Rebecca off--that the victim was left handed and her left hand was untouched.
Reading about cutters, I didn't have to suspend too much belief--folks do some crazy ass shit to themselves involving cutting, pain and blood. Yuck.
Hey, that was one of my favorite parts too.
Me, too. I wasn't expecting it and when I heard it, I yelped.

Ah! You're so right. Nevermind.
