Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I was going to attempt the same by comparing the adventures of the Serenity crew to the Odyssey, but I lacked inspiration.

Well, there's traveling after a war. And cunning. Cunning can be used as a noun, right?

But no home to go to or Penelope waiting.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Maybe Mal has a Penelope and he just doesn't know it.

move out and draw fire

Mal is tricksy like Odysseus.

There's a "Persephone"...although I don't think she's in The Odyssey.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We watched a really bizarre production of The Birds.

I was in an interesting production of The Birds. I played The Poet and Iris the Swift, a small-time goddess.

Sean Bean, who played Odysseus in Troy, does promos on the Sci-fi channel, which currently airs Firefly every Friday evening.

(Or did we stop playing the association game already? I'm always late to the party.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How does one correctly pronounce "Sean Bean"?

"Guh."

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

I pronounce him guilty of being hot.

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.

We did the Illiad and the Odyssey in highschool, but I don't recall ever hearing "in medias res" before, nor do I have a clue what it means.
