And Tim, it was totally the direction.
If by "direction" you mean...
I think the ideas in the episode are really elegantly laid out. The episode is frickin' diagrammable.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just got back from seeing it again. Pretty well full house. And it seemed like mostly civvies.
It's a very different movie the second time through. Much less a rollercoater, and much more...a book you've read and keep coming back to, maybe. Thinking about it on the walk home, Les Miserables is what came to mind, but I know that's not really what I mean (I love the movie, but it's not quite that epic).
And, given that it was .10% of the population (1 tenth of 1 percent) that got turned by the Pax, I really, really don't think all the Reavers (or, maybe, given the radiation. For 10 years) we've "met" are the originals, so I'm good with Bushwhacked (which was a beautiful episode, and terribly well put together) as it stands.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Ha. I'm sorry, but it cracks me up every time. It's like, "Yep, they're not under here!" I mean, I can fanwank it as their being very thorough (leave no placemat unturned!).
I wanked it as "I was looking for clues!"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That works too, Daniel.

love's a dream you enter though I shake and shake and shake you
I just saw it again in Boston; the theater was full. Packed. I had to ask people to move over so I could sit with other two folks I was with.
People cheered and clapped at the end.

I just came back from my 4th viewing in a packed theater where I got the last aisle seat that didn't have someone in the seat next to it. Not seeing major signs of the momentum slowing down here in the flyover states.
Unfortunately, they may have blown their wad too early--especially with the core of fans they were relying on for the big returns.
It will probably be the casual fans and new people who make or break the movie, but I'd be very surprised if most of the rabidly devoted fans that were scrambling to get into advance screenings didn't end up going back again for repeat viewings. (See first paragraph above...)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Tim, if you're still here, the scene of River and Simon on the outside of the ship in Bushwhacked is my favorite single scene ever. What a beautiful shot. I'm glad I kept all the episodes I had taped even after I bought the DVDs, just because of this.

Sad now cause I just finished running through my Firefly DVDs (for the first time). Loves!

Here's the part that bugged me about the movie RE: Bushwhacked.
If the Reavers were created by a toxin, how does that jibe with them making more reavers just by being seen, as happened in Bushwhacked?
I realize I can fanwank this to make it work, but I really don't see it logically. The rest of the move I actually did not have much of a problem with continuity wise. It still sucks that the movie killed everyone's favorite character.
