Well, in the actual show the shaftfusilage is thinner, so it ends up looking more like a dragonfly than the schematic. But they made sure to re-use a shot of it rotating in every episode that kind of brought the phallic nature home.

Wow.... plus, is the "Monster" the class name or something? Because... woah.

So, after the fancy animated Universal logo fades away, New Orleans lights up. What's up with that?
Also. WHEEE!
Looks like River brings some whupass on Reavers as well as regular bar folk.
And I sure wish I knew where that particular southern California location with the big rock face actually is, since I'm thinking - hey, I wanna go rockclimb on that! I didn't know that there is anything like that in the Santa Clarita sort of area where they filmed a bunch of the exteriors.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Non-spoilery review of Serenity, based on a screening in Australia.
I’ve been a firefly fan from the start. Joss is a genius. Buffy. Angel. Firefly. The best TV out there. Now that’s a lot of hype. My expectations for this flick were huge. I had so many ideas in my mind, they have to explore this, and they have to do that!
So, what happened?
I was absolutely blown away. It was just so amazing. It surpassed all my expectations and even though I didn’t think it was possible, gave me that much more respect for joss, the cast and the crew of firefly.

I may have to seize the cat.
Just watched OoG with commentary. When the ep originally aired, I was trying to watch at the same time as I was coding the first F:IA website. This meant I missed chunks, and generally couldn't quite figure out how this particular episode had made such a difference to people.
I've watched it since then, but that first watching has always affected my opinion of it, I think.
Watching it with the commentary has opened up my eyes to why it did what it did for whom it did. This is possibly the smartest episode of the show. It is so structurally sound. I wish I had more things to say about these, but there's nothing I can add to what the rest of the world has already said. A commentary definitely worth watching.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Oh, I think The Lexx probably outdoes Serenity in that department.
Not only the ship. I seem to remember an episode based of Survivor, where the winner would get to have sex with Xev--Xev-ivor, get it?

The Serenity trailer breakdown is now up! 5, count 'em, 5 posts. All spelling mistakes will need to be corrected later - I am wiped out. And psyched.
