I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

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?

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

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

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.

Heh. During the latest viewing I noticed a bit of Hodgeberryosity when Simon was cleaning the blood off River. I guess now that he's undergone reparation therapy, no woman is safe.

Crossposted from Movies, since I thought I was here when posting there:

Viewing #5 of Serenity may be it for me for a week or two. I've seen it enough times in a short enough period that I started to drift off early on, though once the heist got underway the action was moving fast enough to keep me engaged. But during the fight at Inara's I found myself imagining Companion self-defense training with the Operative falling victim to pepper perfume spray, nerve Astroglide, or a high-powered "back massager" with its batteries set on overload .

Best line this viewing: "At last, we can retire and give up this life of crime."

Mal was right: Fanti is prettier than Mingo.

I noticed for the first time that Kaylee actually stepped on a wounded Jayne on her way to fuss over Simon after the folks on the mule narrowly escaped the Reavers.

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

The hint-o-Hodge in the actual shot was plenty enough.

It was The Pax.

Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level! SHUT DOWN ALL THE GARBAGE MASHERS ON THE DETENTION LEVEL! NO! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN!

I have no idea why I needed to say that.

Oh! I know why! 'cause I'm supposed to be writing! Wrong thread. My fault, my fault.

Hmm. Utter eradication of any trace of gayness would explain the Reavers' stylistic choices in fashion and decor...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level! SHUT DOWN ALL THE GARBAGE MASHERS ON THE DETENTION LEVEL! NO! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN!

I have no idea why I needed to say that.

Because garbage mashers is oddly fun to say?
