The other day my mom said to me, "I can't get your sister and her boyfriend to watch Firefly. They just won't do it. I said to them, 'But if you haven't seen the show, how are you going to know what's going on when you see the movie?' Your sister said, 'We're seeing the movie?'"
Of course Jayne is an oversexed, underwashed space cowboy
Am I the only person who thinks of Jayne as mostly talk? I mean we do see him with that whore in Heart of Gold, and apparently she likes him a lot, but up until that point there is very little evidence that he gets much lovin' from anyone, male or female. I guess one could say this is because of his limited options?
I always wonder about Jayne and Kaylee. About all the potentialities of a relationship between them, and even sometimes imagine that they tried and it went wrong. I like imagining things.
Jayne got some lovin' in
Jaynestown.
And milk and eggs.
I actually found myself nodding along with that article. Pretty impressive that a TV character can communication that kind of psyho-depth at all, let alone in 13/14 eps.
Was reading the thread over at Slashdot, and this puzzled me:
If the Sci-Fi channel is showing the series, they would have had to buy out the broadcast contract from Fox. Assuming that the show pulls in some decent ratings, I wouldn't be surprised to see Joss writing a new season and production starting as early as this fall depending on availability of the cast.
Do they mean for Sci-Fi? Or whuh? I don't follow the logic here.
whuh?
I think that
is
the logic.
This is where that person is confused:
If the Sci-Fi channel is showing the series, they would have had to buy out the broadcast contract from Fox.
Fox still owns the broadcast rights, right?
Do they mean for Sci-Fi?
I think that's what they mean.
It's a hop, skip and a jump from syndicating a completed series to putting up the dough for a 9-person cast, a movie director and from-scratch space western production, right? Like five or ten more dollars?
Also, from what I hear, the deal with Universal committed to no new show (either absolutely, or not for a set period). Even if the movie's successful, it's not going to roll right back into tv show production.
I am operating on the assumption that Sci Fi paid for syndication, whereas Fox owns all first-run rights. But even so, I thought there was some deal with Universal where there can be no new show for some period of time (5 yrs?) in case they want to make more movies.
Toronto screening got press:

Might need bugmenot if it requires registration, etc.
