Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

One of the guys I lent FF to floated the idea about reintegrating vets (especially ones called upon to do truly hard core things) into society, and said he thought the Alliance used the Shepherdhood to deprogram people like Book, and it's where they'd have sent a decommissioned Operative if he hadn't bolted instead.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that idea.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Just in case someone wants to go archive Joss' posts, the Universal board will be closing down on Friday, January 6th.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I adore the idea of a deprogramming center for Operatives.

My dad had a very Firefly Christmas this year. I gave him both the Serenity DVD and the Firefly soundtrack (he still has my Firefly DVDs, the stinker). He's in hog heaven, and has been listening to the soundtrack over and over again while working in his studio.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Just wanted to clarify this - it's actually closed down 3rd as you originally said I suspect, but the date on the email is wrong I believe.

And wow, this is the most boringest post ever.

All is well that ends in pizza.

One would hope the thorough people at Whedonesque would be on top of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

From a NY Times article with the headline "New for Conservative Christians: Film Reviews, Not Protests."

Like their secular counterparts, Christian critics are diverse in their judgments. Most laud the semi-allegorical "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," based on the spiritually infused novels by C. S. Lewis, as well as tales of salvation like "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Last Samurai" or the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which many pastors cite in sermons. But many also praise wholesome fluff like "Serenity" or serious fare like "2001: A Space Odyssey," which appears on the Vatican's 1995 list of 45 great films for its blend of "science fiction and metaphysical poetry."

"Wholesome fluff"?

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

Well, Mal did mention the Operative's Dear and Fluffy Lord.
