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.
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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!

Another social casualty...
This is on Yahoo's front page, in its "News" box, right now. I'm so excited that the buzz seems to be growing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For the extremely spoilerphobic, there is a paragraph that might detail more plot than you know, but it's easily skippable.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"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.

Anyone know where to check for Firefly ratings on the SciFi Channel?

Article in the Edmonton Journal today on Serenity(well, mostly on Nathan.)
Heh, knew he was from Edmonton, but apparently he's even from the same area of town as me. Neat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd like to know how Firefly did in the ratings last Friday, too.
