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.
Watch out for the satellite cabal. That way lies the tinfoil beanies.

Mind you, tinfoil hats will not save you from the mind-control rays of the Evil Bunny Alliance. Clovis has been looking at upgrade packages for the satelllite network.
This makes the whole stealing cabal from your neighbor thing much more ominous. Also ooky, when you consider the splitters and other hardware involved.
Looks like I'm going to see Serenity tonight with my friend who borrowed my DVDs. She may kill me for inflicting the pain of losing Book and Wash on her.
I finally saw Serenity the other night. Go me! I went with my dad, who learned about the series through watching the DVDs. He liked the pilot episode well enough to want to watch the second episode with me.
The second ep was what hooked him. His eyes went very, very wide at the bit where Mal kicked the guy in to the engine. I was then told to rewind that scene several times.
I could have seen Serenity when it opened, but my dad was so jazzed about going to see it that I made myself wait until I could go with him.
I was spoiled for what happened to Wash and Book, but they still hurt, and even though I knew that no one else was going to be killed off, the sense of jeopardy was still very, very real.
The thing that probably got the biggest laugh from me was the look that River gave Simon when he asked if he was talking to Miranda.
She thinks that Zoe and Wash are too improbable a couple
Some people don't get them. That's okay.
Anne, why are posting about Serenity in the Netiquette thread?
Oh. Wait. Sorry, my bad. I was lost for a minute. (But not LOST because, despite DLA, I don't watch the show.)
Jeez, 116 new? I might have thoughts on some of this but I just woke up and haven't had coffee yet. I'm sure, by the time I do, something shinier will have caught my attention and distracted me from them.
Inaras CGI bow and arrow annoys me. One second it's CGI, and then 2 seconds later it's a bow and arrow, and then it's CGI, and then it's a bow and arrow.

The Visual Companion shooting script has her speaking a line there, something like (I'm AFB) "I'm not a multi, stupid." Telling, not showing. The expression is much funnier.

Um, maybe it is like a cloaking device and has to de-cloak to fire. Or whatever.
What I don't get is the need for it to be a CGI arrow gun thingy in the first place (or I guess that would be second place). What was wrong with just having the long bow?

I caught that in my 2nd viewing. I just figured that since she's very much background in the snippet where it isn't CGI they chose not to devote the resources to that. I blame the screening audiences for the fact that any of it (Inara's bow/gun) is CGI. It seems they didn't buy the simple bow & arrow.
