I think some dude has forgotten to take his medication.
I really hope fans are not sending this guy actual money. Cause that would suck.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
No money.
He's just crazy.

I think he's using the Costa Rican matchmaking service to finance Season Two. I suspect we'll see some serious product placement. I wonder if they can WB Dude to do one of those spots at the end of each episode:
The whores featured in tonight's episode of Firefly...

What is even happening?
Okay, I was refraining, but my feet hurt and all my reserves are currently tied up in self-pity. Where is this wanky conversation?

There's this dude who claims to be trying to secure the rights to Firefly.
Hee.
Hee.
I can see that I'm going to be chuckling about this all afternoon. More power to him, and all that, but.... hee, hee.
eta: Thanks for sharing!

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Wow. I think that even beats the guy who tried to convince Save Farscape that he worked for Senator McCain and could get federal legislation passed on our behalf. Or at least federal dollars.
No, I kid you not. I ended up calling McCain's home office and telling them about it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Titan Books, which previously published Serenity: The Official Visual Companion to the SF movie, announced that it has bought the rights to publish a companion book to Joss Whedon's cult television series Firefly, on which Serenity was based.
Firefly: The Official Companion is scheduled for publication this summer.

move out and draw fire
OK, I've been working on the hugest meara of all time, going back to Sept 30, but I just am not going to get it done.
So, quick thoughts:
The tombstones were Chinese, putting photos of the dearly departed on the grave markers. Since there were about two words of Chinese in the whole movie, I don't know why they went this way. The rocks are a Jewish thing, so I guess it was more of the mixing cultures. Besides, where would they get flowers?
Everyone looked so much older. It made me sad.
Either Morena Baccarin had completely forgotten how to be Inara, or Inara's character was changed on purpose.
I don't care if Simon's agreed to have sex with Kaylee, he's still not straight. But I'm happy for Kaylee.
How does a planet of 30 million people go away and no one notice?
OK, so Miranda has a blue sun. But no mention of Blue Sun Corporation in the movie. Also no hands-of-blue guys (which is fine with me).
Has anyone, like, I dunno, Focus on the Family, gone all Kitten on Joss for killing the happily married straight white man?
The Alliance soldiers, esp at the end after the Reaver Siege, reminded me of Paranoia, the RPG. They looked just like an illustration from that game.
And, since I watched it on DVD, has anyone else seen the outtake of Nathan embroidering his lines at Haven? I laughed so hard I cried. Of course, that was probably partially an emotional release.
