In the Pilot!Serenity, Simon says of River, "There is nothing that didn't come to her as naturally as breathing does to us." Even considering that this must be an exaggeration, between that innate talent and her observing Wash for 8 months, I had no problem of her piloting the ship, especially with Mal assisting.

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.
Bill Clinton is aging rapidly, too, you partisans.
He’s not evil. Not Dick Cheney Evil, anyway.
I think Clinton aged a lot in office. And sudden thinness ages a person in the short-run. Also, he's less ruddy, which is a by-product of being in better cardiac health, but to the eye, it looks the same as being pale.
I think Clinton misses being president the most – he misses the action. Watching from the sidelines may be particularly hard on him.
Pilot!Serenity actually seemed more cinematic to me than Movie!Serenity.
Maybe me too. I need to see the movie again. I mean, there were spaceships and horses in the TV pilot. What could be more cinematic?
Javier Grillo Marxuach posts a review of Serenity disguised as a review of a sequel to Alien: Resurrection. It's very amusing.
Boxofficemojo.com has Serenity second in the estimates for Friday. The estimate is 3.9mil from 2,188 screens. That's only 500thou less than Flightplan, which is on 3,424 screens, and has Jodie Foster and Sean Bean in the lead roles.
Here's hoping it has the legs to cross the $80 million mark over the next few weeks.

Tim, if Marxuach hasn't already sent this to Joss you MUST call him up and give him the link.

Bwah! Good mapping, and damn that's revelatory in several ways. One, how much of Alien: Resurrection was in the original Firefly concept. Two, that Joss does not let go of a story until he gets to tell it his way. Three, that this maps as perfectly as does the mapping of the story as a big Fuck You to Fox. Layers, baby.
When I watched Alien: Resurrection on cable, I noticed many similarities to Firefly. Joss, however, claims he did not notice the similarities until they were pointed out to him.

I hear that in the next Aliens movie, the aliens will infest Fox corporate headquarters.
BTW, as far as mapping Serenity to the Fox debacle, has anyone considered that Haven is really the symbol for Angel?
Saturday's numbers, not so hot. They're down from Friday, and the only good thing is it's still ahead of anything else that opened this weekend. It's just being clobbered by last week's releases.
