'First Date'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
In Kansas, "The City" is Emerald City.We don't have a The City. We have Town, which is Kansas City, or maybe Wichita if you live in south central Kansas.
Somehow I don't think that people in San Francisco talking about the City are talking about New York. Sorry, folks. I like New York and all, but I'm not believing it's got the rights to the term.
"The City" is San Francisco, as is clearly demonstrated by "Tales of The City".
To Sherlock Holmes, it is always The City.
[edit:] For what it's worth, I live halfway down the Peninsula in San Carlos, and I travel up to the city much, much more often than down to San Jose or across the Bay to Berkeley and Oakland.
No Cleveland screening. Sigh.
Is Rice-A-Roni still the San Francisco treat?

That's because San Jose is such a wasteland. (Actually, Redwood City has a great concert venue: the Little Fox Theatre.) There's less to distract people from going to see Serenity.
Oh, Sex and the ____?
Actually, I go down to San Jose for theater a couple of times a year.
Shhh! Don't mention the Grand Prix, and please, please, please don't mention Cinequest.
No, theater theater. Live people. Singing.
It's like Immortals: There can be only one "The City."
Do The Citys (yes, I know it should be Cities) have to fight to the death and decapitate one another? And walk up to hot chicks and say, "My name is The City, and I canna die."
In Maine, "The City" is Boston. I used to have this argument with people in college all the time, and I maintain. "The City" is the closest one to which you live.
But that's just me.
