Joyce ,'Same Time, Same Place'
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.
I lent the DVDs to another co-worker, who dutifully watched Train Job first, because he was following airing order. Note to self for next co-worker: "be explicit".
Why don't people just watch them in the order they appear on the DVDs? Wouldn't you think that would be the default? Why would someone go out of his way to emulate the bass-ackwards Fox execs?
Some of us liked her from the start.
Huh. "Some" implies more than one, right?
Huh.
I liked her too.

Says a man who's never tried to make sense of the Farscape releases.
I never disliked Inara or Morena, sorry. I agree the whole empowered Companion thing was more Tell than Show, but I was willing to let it play out and see what happened. Didn't really get the chance.
I liked her alright, but I liked her clothes more. I want them.

Nope. Watched them all in the SciFi marathon who hopefully played them in the right order.

Which isn't the same order as the DVDs. So there's no 100% rule.
FYI, my father, who we got Firefly for Xmas (and who is a retired Episcopal priest and social worker), is loving it. Some part, he said, are pure camp, and then it goes directly from that to some of the truest, most mature relationships ever written. (I paraphrase.)
So, a toaster winner is me!
I liked Inara from the start. I think it was the combination of that fragment of her looking away, not synchronized with her speaking voice talking about her home, and how she just moved the decorated curtain to reveal a pilot seat and that she herself was the pilot. Both, of course, from "Serenity", so I definitely think there's something to the "watch in order" theory.
Also, there's a mixup in the order of the episodes of "Farscape"? Because I've recently got a tape of the beginning of the first season, and the relationships between the characters keep seeming to go back and forth for no apparent reason. I would prefer an episodes-order explanation much more than a writers-not-paying-attention one.
