River ,'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 Star Trek was this reviewer watching, the short-lived Star Trek on the Prairie?
Yeah, that was a big WTF when I read that. The only Trek show that came close to consistently having interiors like the ships in FIREFLY/SERENITY was DS9, and those were the station's, not the ships'.

I was wondering that too, and then I thought well, the inside of the Alliance ships are somewhat Star Trek-y but considering the name-sake of the movie is very non-Star Trek, it's an unwarranted criticism.
I am still annoyed, though, that the color scheme of the show was very brown, while the movie is very blue, which I suppose could contribute to the feeling of Trekkitude.

At least it wasn't green, because that would have meant it was happening in the Matrix.
I think (but don't know for fact) that browns and reds are going to look better on the small screen, and crappier on the big screen, while blues are better looking on the big screen.
Maybe blue signals are the ones that can't be stopped.
The Flick Filosopher's review of the first seven eps. Tomorrow is the second half of the series, and Friday is the movie review. Considering she's already ranked it as her third-favorite movie of the year so far, I'm guessing it's pretty favorable.
Kathy, I love the FF, but for some reason every time I try to go from your link to her "Introduction to Firefly" it's crashing my browser (3 times so far in the last 5 minutes). Which is mightily irritating, as I really want to read all her words. Might I beg you, if it's not too much trouble, to maybe send a copy'n'paste of the intro to my profile addy sometime?
eta: Grrr. Make that 4 times, and now her entire site is crashing me. Bah!
Will do--I don't know what's causing the crash (I'll let her know on her blog that there's a problem, though).
It's working for me, but the stupid interactive ad at the top of the page is screwing with my HID.
My DH just pointed me at PVP, for the cartoon but mostly for the two articles below it ("Joss has seen the shirt!"): [link]
Aw, thanks, Kathy!

If you're not having a problem, don't worry about it. It's likely just my work computer -- Safari intermittently crashes with certain websites (mostly WaPo; it's never happened with FF before), but I'm fairly certain I'm working with oldish versions of, well, everything, since even when I get an alert that a newer version of some application or other is available I can't download it, because everything here is locked down so only administrators can download anything, including even new versions of stuff we already have. Grr argh.
