Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Those scenes sound a little too much like a real actor/director dialogue.

Heh. I can't make Joss's voice not be Joss. She is a wonder, though. Poor noodle. I guess I watched in the release order. Last session first? Then the one with dancing, then the one with the heartbreaking plea.

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

Release order is best! It's just especially creepy that way, seeing what happened, and then going back and seeing how.

Summer just floors me as River. Session 22 is both frightening and heartbreaking, and that's hard to do.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

LAistas, Universal is holding another press screening on September 6th. The SoCal yahoo group has been asked to gather 75 names to give to Universal by next week.

We are assuming that the screening will be in Hollywood again. Please let me know if you want to go as soon as possible and I will try to hold spots for you. I think we have 30 spots left as of five minutes ago.

Tamara, that's so kind of you! Wish I were in LA.

Three spots left. Any takers?

move out and draw fire

I wonder if these were exercizes that Joss did with Summer to get her fully into the character's head-space, to know what River had gone through?

I wasn't part of the Firefly discussion when Firefly was actually airing, but do people think that River's parents knew what was going to happen to their daughter? I kinda got that vibe from the confrontation between Simon and his father in the police station - his dad seemed pissed that Simon was messing with his business arrangements.

I seriously doubt it. Mr. Tam's a bit full of himself, maybe a tad arrogant, but I don't see him being so callous that he'd sell his daughter down the, um, yeah. I think their parents were just so confident in the Alliance's intentions that they didn't see it as possible that they'd be up to something sinister with their daughter. From their POV, I'm sure, Simon was just unduly paranoid, and their attention was more on what he was doing to his life on Osiris than the possibility that he was right to be worried.

Nevermind. All tickets are gone. I tried.
