It's so good to get a Nilly recap. I never felt like I had really watched a Firefly episode until I read Nilly's insights.
Tod, I think you're new. Welcome! (English is not Nilly's native language. She's in Israel.)
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

That was a great recap Nilly. Did you read it in Hebrew or English?
I was reading an article in Time today about the team that help put the American version together and they talk about how Rowling is always open to suggestions and edits. Which lead me to wonder, are the Scholastic editors her main editors? Or does she also have a team in the UK? Or does that US team just edit for the language changes to the US version?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
thank you Nilly - and you put into words something that I knew but hadn't thought - the trust he Harry had to chose in Dumbledore -
Now I am thinking about the shapes of all the books

Wow, Nilly. Just wow.

The evil is this way?
Nilly, it is such a pleasure to read your posts again. Your comments about "Deathly Hallows" remind me so much of why I loved reading your "Firefly" posts. They are thought-provoking celebrations of a great story well-told.

"Narrator of the Bronze"? That has a very nice ring to it -- like I own an estate or something.
Yes, that's me -- Estate owning (No, not really, but let's all pretend I am rich, shall we?) Narrator of the Bronze.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Punishingly Intricate
Tod, I think you're new. Welcome! (English is not Nilly's native language. She's in Israel.)
Thanks for putting it that way, Ginger! I was about to go all irrationally protective of Nilly (who can certainly take care of herself) ballistic and had to step away from the internet. It's been a hard day.
Anyway, I have marked Nilly's posts to read when I am a) able to focus and b) deserving of a treat for myself!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Sue, I don't know if it answers your question, but the Scholastic Edition is different from the Bloomsbury (UK) edition. My waiting until I got the Canadian (which is the same as the UK) to read it was what won me the spot as top geek at my training course this summer.
