Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The Rock is a personality, and works it. Viggo's an actor, and doesn't work it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've been getting pop-ups lately. I would be disappointed if it was from BOM.

They were just the most recent site I've been to that I'm not at all the freaking time, so I don't know.

Do I need to mention how I love the Rock? Luv.

"Don' be e-scared"

Actually, not a pan. The camera is stationary and does not zoom at all (what's the technical term for this?)

Static. And it's a brilliant shot, because it feels like a tilt (a pan is side to side), because Simon and Kaylee are dropping down out of frame as River appears above, so Joss is moving your eye on the screen.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It's like relativity!

"Don' be e-scared"

I had Simon and River dropping out of frame there before I edited that post. That's just too Hodgeberrytastic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Hodgeberrytastic" sounds like some fancy flavor of ice cream.

I was watching The Prodigal earlier (hello, Tim episode!), and who did I see but Saffron Bridget Yolanda Reynolds as the tavern wench talking to Darla about Liam. Why did I never notice her there before?

ION - I was wondering how Firefly was doing on the SciFi channel....

[link]

For 9/19-9/25, it was their fourth-rated show, after Battlestar Galactica, Path of Destruction and Stargate: Atlantis.

Firefly had a Nielson rating of 1.3. BSG was 2.0. (Is that millions of viewers?)

A point equals something close to 1.1 million households.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had Simon and River dropping out of frame there before I edited that post.

Far more realistic than Simon/Kaylee. And yet, not as realistic as Simon/Jayne.
