when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

I got my DVD, but have only watched a few of the deleted scenes, and the Easter Egg. Will probably put the movie on while I pack tonight. and will be earwormed with the Fruity Oaty Bar song for the next three weeks, oy.

also, I just realised yesterday we'll never get to meet that beautiful baby of Wash and Zoe's. sniff

I just realised yesterday we'll never get to meet that beautiful baby of Wash and Zoe's.

I'm sure they've got a DNA sample of him somewhere...

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

I bought Serenity and BSG 2.0 yesterday. There's some cross-promotional thing going on where I can get $10 back for buying both. (Also good if you buy season one of BSG with Serenity.)

Maybe Zoe is pregnant?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I got a lovely Christmas gift today. I am now the owner of a signed (and underneath the sealed clear plastic part too) Jayne action figure, a signed Jayne Serenity comic, and a signed Jayne trading card. I think it's cool, especially as I've never had official memorobilia!

I hope to God not. It'd be Jaws doing the pole-vault.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I hope to God not. It'd be Jaws doing the pole-vault.

I'm horribly torn. Narratively it feels like a pregnant Zoe would be cheesetastic and shark-jumpy and painfully pandering to the audience's cheapest sentimental desires, and yet... I have those very same cheap sentimental desires myself. It's massively to the credit of Gina Torres and Alan Tudyk and Joss and every single writer and director on the show that one small part of my brain genuinely and insanely believes Zoe to be real.

As much as the thinking story-consumer me turns up her nose at the possibility of Pregnant!Zoe, the craxy part of me fiercely wants that for her, in his memory and honor, for her messy and complicated consolation, and because any child that came from the two of them would grow into an amazing person who'd improve the 'Verse just by existing, and we already don't have enough of those people now, so how much worse will it get in 500 years?

I completely understand that Zoe is fictional and her grief is fictional and the hypothetical child she and the also-fictional Wash talked about possibly trying for is just a fiction in a fiction, but I can't shake the feeling that their being fictional does not in the least prevent them from being Real, and I have this huge fierce sister/friend/admirer desire for her to have a child for its own sake and her sake, crap plots be damned.

I blame all the good acting and writing and directing, and also too many readings of The Velveteen Rabbit. Curse you, Margery Williams!

I heart JZ's spicy brains and irrational sentiment, for I share the latter.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I don't care if it is cheesy. I want Zoe/Wash baby!
