move out and draw fire

Didn't look like rain was a big problem there. Or that the proprieter cared about keeping the rain out too much.

Hmm, can't say "hard light?" Okay, some sort of ion charge that repulses the rain? (handwaves the physics) Or maybe it just shorts out once a year during the monsoon season.

Plastic wrap and duct tape!

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

"Inside the universe of Serenity" here: [link]

Be warned, it contains about 800,000,000 spoilers.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Thanks, Kevin. That is awesome!

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

I saw that Serenity ad at AMC, and as much as I loved it (I wouldn't leave to go find my friend until it was done), I think it just made everyone around unfamiliar with it groan at the freaks.

ita, are you sure it was the same advert? I don't think it was.

Where was that masked post? I'd thought it was here...

It was an ad that talked about the show, its cancellation, the sneak previews, and had Joss's talking head.

I got confirmation the folk going to the EIFF premiere will be doing a Q&A on the monday, if anybody here is going (Jars..).

Yay! Yay yay yay.

That's pretty much it.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

What's been shown so far have been pilots. Pilots are like demos: show the characters, the world and the story possiblities. They're seldom among the best episodes. Anybody remember "Encounter at Farpoint?"

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

While I don't think "Serenity" was quite as good as the best couple of Firefly episodes, I'd hardly consider it a sucky or unrepresentative pilot. Seems to me that liking it and liking the series as a whole went hand-in-hand for most people.
