'The Message'
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.
Which new haircut, Zenkitty? The one she had for those glamour shots of the cast, or the one from the L.A. premier? (Which seemed to be longer again.)
ETA: Okay, it's a bit longer at the premier than in the glamour shots, but still much shorter than it was in the series and movie.
Here's a light-background one from the premier: [link]
Thanks, Kalshane! I'd forgotten I saved a couple of her "glamour shots". You're right, it's a little longer at the premiere. I wonder if she's letting it grow out again?

Well, yeah: she has to get back into character for Serenity 2.
I think a short-ish do and a simple elegant dress work a lot better for Morena than long curls and dressing like a 16th century Turkish princess. Though the latter look was character-appropriate, of course.
Watched the rest of Disc 1 and all of Disc 2 today. This is a very good show. And Jewel Staite is SO HOT.
The reason Serenity's ass-end lights up? Kaylee's in the engine room.
Jewel is cute. Morena is beautiful. Summer is hot. Gina is... I think amazing is the only reasonable word. Gorgeous. Statuesque. Classic.
Summer's my favorite, but I have a weakness for waifs.
Jewel Staite is SO HOT.
Buh? I so don't get that, from the show. In the pictures from the movie premiere, she looked -- sexy, I guess, but didn't look like the same woman, actually, who had played Kaylee.
And I can't see Kaylee as hot, because I always suspect people who are that relentlessly, annoyingly cheerful to be slightly mentally deficient.

Bah! She, um... the exception that proves the rule. Or something.
Which is weird, because 99.99% of the time I'd agree with you....
Usually I find relentlessly cheerful people annoying and suspect them of being dummies. But I gotta speak up in Kaylee's defense. Though maybe she remains a little naive, she isn't dumb, and she's not always cheerful. She wasn't cheerful when Mal insulted her about the dress, or when Simon insulted her or Jayne did. She wasn't cheerful when Serenity broke and they all thought they were gonna die, or when she got shot (she was cheerful in the recovery room, but by then, she knew she was going to be okay). When there's reason to be unhappy, her emotions are appropriate, and she shows them as easily as she does her cheerfulness. But Kaylee's a naturally cheerful person; when the immediate dangers and problems are over, she's back to her default state of being happy. People like me, who are naturally melancholy (can't speak for anyone else), will not be particularly cheerful unless there's a really good reason for joy (and maybe not even then). Melancholy is my default or ground state, as it is for most of my friends, and since we're melancholy and smart, I guess we tend to associate the two. (As one of my friends once exclaimed, "How can any sane person look at the real world and be happy!" I'm not quite that sad.) Kaylee's had a lot of scary experiences since joining Serenity, but while those may have matured her and her expectation of other humans, she still sees the universe as basically a good place, and her ground state will probably always be happiness. Her brain is just wired that way. Lucky her.
