Is the whitefonted stuff about the movie, or the unaired eps? One I don't mind reading, the other isn't supposed to be here.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hey. New board.
See, I just don't know which ones aired. =) If the unaired eps are Heart of Gold, Trash, and The Message then, um...
I'd say you don't actually NEED to see any of those. Trash is my favorite of the three. The Message and Heart of Gold are my least favorite eps of the series, which many I think would agree with.
ETA: And if you already don't like the Westerny parts of the show, then you'll HATE HoG. Probably.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Gris warns well, Tep. HoG is one of the most yee-haw episodes there is. Lots of riding horses and nasty varmints. But it does have important character development that I imagine will have to be touched on in the movie, so.

Hey. New board.
"Yee-haw" is now, officially, my favorite adjective.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita, it's about the eps.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
HoG is one of the most yee-haw episodes there is.
It's also been criticized by some (including me) for taking the trope of the "whore with a heart of gold" and.... doing nothing with it. Not even one little twist. Pretty much every stereotype is played out. No subverting whatsoever.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Geez, I LIKED HoG.

Cool. I watched Trash last night - good stuff, and lots of the funny. But it's Jayne and Simon in the infirmary that'll stay with you.
(Was Ariel shown out of order, by the way? I was surprised to see on the DVDs that it came so late in the series, but it could just be me.)
I'ma try to hit the other two tonight.
Oh, but my sister has only seen about half of the first run eps, so I'll make sure she watches Objects in Space before the movie if we have time. Thanks for the heads-up, Gris.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I liked HoG, too. But I have come to acknowledge that I am pretty undemanding in my Firefly love. Any (negative) criticism anyone has made of any episode was something that I just didn't notice or didn't care about.

I didn't read any discussion of the unaired eps till I watched them, and while I could see the reasoning behind the HoG dislike, I still enjoyed it.
Trash is my favorite of the unaireds, though.
