Poke him/her and say "special hell!" just once. Maybe it'll take.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

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

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I don't know why I didn't think about that. Now, if I can just get up the nerve. I'm such a weeny.

Movie synopsis, including link to pretty poster.
libkitty, if you don't cure him of it soon, he may do it while you're watching Serenity.

Eeek! Not that! I'm convinced.
Thanks for the kick in the butt (which I know, virtually, that you're good at and hope never to find out literally), and for the link. It really helps to see progress with the movie, promotion, etc.
Reading the promo brings up something that shocks the mindless fanatic in me: Reading the synopsis of Serenity, Firefly, or any other ME production is no good. So much is dependent not upon what they write about, but rather that they do a good job of it. Frankly, I probably would never have given Firefly a chance were it not a Whedon/Minear show (actually, at that point I was going more on Whedon). Word of mouth might have gotten me otherwise, had I heard any. But the synopsis? Nope. It seems like there should be a way to give people a taste of the feel of a show, of its quality, in print of course, rather than just a brief storyline. There may be examples of this out there, perhaps more in posters, but I can't think of any right now.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
To all ye much more experienced in fandom than I:
Is it considered rude to pimp Firefly and Serenity on another fandom's board if one is asked about it?
Partyman and Allyson, let me know if I am overstepping the line of propriety over on the fuse LB.
Thanks

If someone else started it, and it's not a competition to their product, go for it.
Hey ... I could go over and talk krav. Then you'd at least know someone would be ruder.

They are just starting out over there and so many people are cranky and trying to establish rules. I just (for once in my life) don't want to piss anyone off.
It is just natural message board growing pains, methinks but, if you want to come over and play bad guy for my amusement please do, ita.

Actually, given my official killer BarbieTM cyborg status, I don't know if I'm allowed to be bad cop.

Why? I think it would uniquely qualify you for the role.

Apparently Allyson also wants the security team to be nice and reassuring. As well as pretty and lethal.
Crazy woman.
