Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

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.

Um.

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).

At least one of the bottles Jayne drank from was Blue Sun branded.

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.

At least one of the bottles Jayne drank from was Blue Sun branded.

Yup, the bottle that he passed to Simon after Mal's big speech.

Also no hands-of-blue guys (which is fine with me).

The blue hands are dealt with (and very unsatisfactorily, IMO) in the 3 Serenity prequel comics.

move out and draw fire

Yeah, I know. I was saying no Bluehands in the movie.

I didn't notice the bottle was Blue Sun brand. That's cool, but still a bit off the path the series established for the corporate/government Big Bad.

Which, you know, fine, as the movie's a movie, and not a series ep (even if it seemed like one at times).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Maybe the Blue Sun Corporation got bought out by Fruity Oaty Bar, Inc.

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

"Wait - who are you again?"

Not sure if this is even worth posting, but...

A spokesman for Joss Whedon, creator of Firefly and its spinoff movie, Serenity, told SCI FI Wire that Whedon hasn't heard of Ace Underhill, an entrepreneur who said he is trying to acquire the rights to the SF TV franchise for purposes of mounting a second season to be distributed in alternative media. "Joss doesn't really know anything about that guy, and I don't really think he has a comment," Whedon's spokesman said in response to questions about Underhill's efforts.

For his part, Underhill told SCI FI Wire that he has contacted Whedon's representatives about starting up a new season of Firefly, which the Fox broadcast network canceled after a single season in 2003, but hadn't spoken with Whedon directly. Whedon previously told USA Today that he still hopes to tell more stories set in Serenity's futuristic universe, but added that there's no chance he'll do another Firefly TV show.

In response, Underhill said in an interview: "If he contacts me and says, 'Hey, we're not interested in Firefly anymore' or 'I'm not interested in Firefly anymore,' then I will abandon the project, and essentially it's over at that point. I'm not looking to create a cheap knockoff of the series without Joss' input. So that's not going to happen. ... If he's not going to be involved, then there is no project. There's no point."

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

Oh, so Joss has to contact him.

How cute.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

Oh, so Joss has to contact him.

Joss: Ok, you wanted me to call, I'm calling. Shutty.

Ace: Ok Joss I understand, btw I have this script...

If I only had a brain...

Dude. I like this business approach. Now I am going to start a movement to canonize Tim as Saint Tim of The Doyle-Killing; if he doesn't like it, he can contact me.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Maholo, Haken.

Dropping a web-host's name will someday get a movie made.

Right after that, it will be "Allyson Presents..."

Check me in ten years. See if I'm wrong.

Betsy, Tim actually would give you a ring, though.

Probably to talk Sondheim, but at any rate, he at least you know, knows you.
