Slug description for SCIFI's Friday night airing of "War Stories":
Zoë's loyalty is tested when she must choose whether to rescue Mal or her husband.
Yeah, she really agonizes over that one.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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.

This weekend's E! Behind the Scenes is, of course, all about Serenity. Yay!

"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
That's the equivalent of the plot blurb on the back of most of my old fantasy novels. Clearly written by someone who didn't do the reading.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Heh. Still better than a TV Guide blurb for Old Yeller from years back along the lines of: "Story of boy and his dog. Then he shoots it."

I think my favorite TV guide blurb is the one written for the original Highlander movie (and I seen its exact wording multiple times, so somewhere there's a database of movie blurbs that weekly guides pull from, or something...):
It was something to the effect of "Sean Connory and Christopher Lambert travel back and forth through time, fighting evil...."
Ummm.... Yes, the story shifts back and forth through time, but that doesn't mean that the characters are actually doing so. Clearly written by someone who, at best, was watching the movie while doing about sixteen other things.

"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
Yeah, she really agonizes over that one.
Well, I suppose it tested her loyalty to Mal. And found it wanting...

Not even that, I says. I all but guarantee you that 1) Mal would have wanted her to take Wash over him and 2) she knew this about him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think it tested her patience, but that's about it.
