Simon ,'Objects In Space'
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.
You know why the series centers around Mal and not Zoe? Because Zoe is sane and well-adjusted.
Heh, I was thinking about how Mal had serious issues vis-a-vis the discussion in Natter (or maybe Bitches?) where Farscape was being pimped and how Crichton starts out with pretty much zero issues and we get too see how all of them develop.
But Mal's not crazy. He ... he's ... I dunno. He has problems with some stuff (unlike his laissez-faire until action is required second in command), but they're in a mundane scale. He's a browncoat, and pissy about it, and he has contempt for Companions (though I think it's, at least by HoG, more of his inability to deal with liking Inara than anything else).
So he has a firm political stance, and isn't good with the ladies when something might actually be at stake, including re-evaluating his world view.
Normal stuff.
Crichton, OTOH, is more like a Mal/River love child. And damn, did I ever gross myself out typing that.
Mal is not crazy; he is bitter. Possibly maladjusted, but definitely bitter.
Crichton isn't well-and-truly crazy till middle of S2, and never is he well-and-truly sane again. Still, that first 1.5 seasons of watching the Big Man on Campus get his head twaddled with was pretty entertaining in its own right.
Starting fights in enemy bars every Bastille Day? Not exactually grounds for membership in the Sane Human Beings club.
But it's more like "Dude, don't do that!" behaviour than something requiring much medication, therapy, or hospitalisation.

It's like you don't even hang out with frat boys.
I was gonna say.
Reports, both from some of the places who have posted these, and apparently from Joss himself at the Premier, is that there are five Sessions in total.
There was nothing said at the premier Q&A about these, so unless it was a private conversation?
So, what is the order of these segments, and is there a single place to get them from? Other than, you know, reading back through this thread. ;)
The link here: dcp "Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains" Aug 29, 2005 11:47:54 am PDT has links to them all.
what is the order of these segments
They were released 416, 1, 22, 165, so try watching in that order first.
416 has maximum WTF?
1 has maximum "Awwwww...."
Watching them in ascending numerical order works pretty well, too.
