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.

Just in case someone wants to go archive Joss' posts, the Universal
board will be closing down on Friday, January 6th.
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.
One would hope the thorough people at Whedonesque would be on top of it.
Cute interview with Nathan Fillion and his mom: [link]
"Man, I could park a Buick in those nostrils."
So. true. Though I still want to marry him.
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"?
Well, Mal did mention the Operative's Dear and Fluffy Lord.
I always like to think Conservatives Christians think raping murderers are wholesome fluff. Well, it says so in the NY Times so must be true. If only one of the Reavers had been homosexual, then it'd be less wholesome.

Good thing Inara didn't have any female clients in the movie, I guess.
