I caught Ariel last night. It's one of my favorites. But, yes, it is an odd sort of feeling seeing in on TV.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's like picking an emotional scab but I can't help it.
I don't know how much of it is the damned theme song, or what. But something just tugs at me.
This will always be one of my biggest tv regrets.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
I saw Serenity again last night at the dollar theatre (I am now the biggest nerd ever; I bought two tickets just for me--they were a dollar anyway) and had a thought for discussion. Is River still crazy at the end of the movie? More and more I get the impression that she isn't. Mal calls Miranda the "secret that burned up River Tam's brain." After they see the holo on the rescue ship and River throws up, she tells Simon she's okay, and repeats it very deliberately. It feels like she's telling him--and us--that she's really *okay*, now that she's not the only one (outside Alliance brass) who knows the secret of Miranda.
Thoughts?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I think she is much more normal, yet as Andi (Windsparrow) points out as we discuss this IRL whilst I'm typing, "her brain has still been seriously messed with."
She's okay, as far as it goes, but that's just that she's much more lucid, but that can change.

I can't even.

Una, that's how I read it too. The worst is over for her and the healing can really begin, now that the nightmare she has been sharing has been exorcised.

That's how I read it, too, though I suspect there was still some nutty goodness there.

Finally saw "Serenity"--yay, dollar movies--and I knew beforehand about Book and Wash. I can see the point of killing Book (convenient he was the only one to survive long enough to talk, but hey), but why kill Wash? True, it underscores Joss' "nearly everyone is fair game" views, but it seems to serve little purpose except for an extra level of angst. Still, I was crying a lot in all the right places, and a good movie viewing was had by all.
