They do look a little alike, though. [link]
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"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
More importantly, his IMDB article reveals that "Not Another Teen Movie" was called "Sex Academy" in Europe. That is just fantastic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A student came up to me today.
"You know what movie you should go see? Serenity."
"Please. I've seen it twice already!"
"Wasn't it great? Wasn't that woman amazing? Didn't you just know they were going to kill her husband?"
I didn't have time to find out what she meant by that, because it turns out her husband is a fan of the TV series, and I launched into see-it-see-it-see-it! mode, but I thought it was great that someone thought I'd like the movie, especially someone who'd never watched it on TV.

Oh! Something I'd forgotten to bring up until now was how much I liked it that they occasionally showed another side of Zoe besides capable soldier or moral compass to Mal. That moment when Mal was detailing the plan to rescue him if his trip to Inara's went South and Zoe replied "and risk my ship?" in scandalized ladylike fashion was hilarious, and unless I'm forgetting something the only joke that was actually being enjoyed in a good-natured manner by the characters (as opposed to the audience).

Your tag here.
when Mal was detailing the plan to rescue him if his trip to Inara's went South and Zoe replied "and risk my ship?"
Yeah, I loved how Joss set that scene up like other shows, the hero being all noble and telling the crew to get out of Dodge if he doesn't come back, and then undercutting that with Mal's "you take this ship and come get me!" Cracked me up.

Punishingly Intricate
when Mal was detailing the plan to rescue him if his trip to Inara's went South and Zoe replied "and risk my ship?"
And it echoed back to their moment in the Train Job where she asked if she could get his cut if he died. I loved that.

Glowing review from, of all places, a National Review reviewer who had never seen any of Joss's work: [link]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And I never watched Firefly, the UPN cult series that more or less gave birth to Serenity.
I saw the Fox series, but missed the UPN one....

Still waiting on the DVDs for that one.
