Mal is tricksy like Odysseus.
There's a "Persephone"...although I don't think she's in The Odyssey.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

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"?

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.

It means "in the middle of things." You start your story in the middle (the war's been going on for years, the Cylons have been following for days) rather than the traditional method of starting at the beginning.

On the TTTEE commentary, Peter Jackson accuses Phillipa Boyens of being the head "Bean Stalker," the term the LotR crew used for the on-set fans of SB. She doesn't agree, but she doesn't deny it, either.
And I second that "Guh."
