Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains  

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.

I may have to seize the cat.

Note to journalists: "Serenity now" has been done. Please try a little creativity.

Really? Hmm. I'd never seen it before.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable "Serenity prayer" joke.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sadly, I missed a toaster opportunity last weekend at a bachelorette party full of Buffy fans. None of them had ever heard of Firefly. Curse my neighbor for being slow returning my DVDs! But I did talk up the movie, and was excited and surprised to stumble on a 'sci fi fashion' feature in InStyle Magazine, of all things. It had a 2 pg spread on Serenity with a picture of the cast. I showed it around to everyone.

Google tells me (since I was too tipsy to recall) that it's the 9/05 issue, an article titled "25 Century Fashion: are you ready for it?" Also talked about Aeon Flux, among others.

"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

Curse you, TV Guide! Now I'm going to have to watch an episode of that craptacular Ghost Whisperer show!

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

TVGuide.com: OK, but the costumes had to be a bit nicer, yes? Better-quality cotton?
Maher: The costumes were a little different. They did a different take on me — I didn't have to wear any vests this time around, which I was happy about!
Apparently he was less gungho about that getup than we were.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

From a story about Joss guest-starring on some show that nobody watches:

The "Serenity" writer-director has popped up before on his shows "Angel" and "Firefly," but he's never appeared on someone else's.

Did I miss something? Where was he in Firefly ? I know he wanted to be Badger, but I don't recall a cameo anywhere.

I don't think he was, P-C.

ETA: but a bit of trivia, Gareth Davies's assistant, Kelly, was the girl in the Blue Sun soda commercial.

A very nice essay written by the guy who writes The Nice Guy webcomic, about the whole Firefly saga, both his personal story and the larger picture.

but a bit of trivia, Gareth Davies's assistant, Kelly, was the girl in the Blue Sun soda commercial.

Commercial? Where was the commercial?
