How's Firefly doing on the Left Coast?
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.
So fucking amazing. I forget how good the show was. And, frankly, how bitter I am after watching them in order. The character introductions actually introduce characters...
Oh! Strawberries.
Hee: scifi.com's Firefly board is going wonky... giving MySQL errors saying "too many connections".
Yeah, the weird cuts to commercial are extremely jarring, both due to my familiarity with the episodes and the fact they make the pacing all wonky.
I agree on the cuts.
But you know, every time the ship's aft end fires up and that pretty golden cgi veils and wafts and shimmers, with the three-note-and-a-pause music before she moves out? It still makes me catch my breath. So.Pretty.
Damn, everybody did such great work on this show.
And yeah, I thought I'd lose it when the Grrr Arghh guy went across the screen at the end. Took me by surprise. I've missed you, dude!
This is on Yahoo's front page, in its "News" box, right now. I'm so excited that the buzz seems to be growing.
Cool! Thanks for the link, justkim!
For the extremely spoilerphobic, there is a paragraph that might detail more plot than you know, but it's easily skippable.
"It's like the ship Serenity herself," [Whedon] said. "Crappy but scrappy."
"Crappy"?
Laddie. Don't you think you should... rephrase that?

I don't get SciFi, and this almost made me cry.
