In a world where The Da Vinci Code tops all best-seller lists, how can Jesus the Interstellar Mason (working title) NOT get published?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jesus the Interstellar Mason (working title) would spawn a cult following and make its writer rich and famous.
Hmm...

What is even happening?
JZ, I'm so sad your uncle passed, because I'd gladly be your lieutenant in niecely duty, seeing as you live on the wrong coast. Should I check the spelling of lieutenant, or live dangerously.
I'm feeling brazen. To intergalactic heck with it.

I tend to keep my ramblings focused on why I like sci-fi, rather than why they should (previous post notwithstanding).
For many who don't like sci-fi or fantasy, I don't think this is enough. I certainly wasn't trying to convert anyone - they can read or watch whatever they way. I just wanted to use it in a serious conversation about something else, and that was apparently bad enough.
Oh, not to horn in on Andi or anything, but I so love JZ's uncle. He sounds kind of like my Uncle George, only with perhaps a few more lovely quirks (Uncle George doesn't wear a hat), so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Oh, yeah - totally legitimate use of the sf card in conversation (I didn't mean to imply otherwise, just in case it seemed so; I was responding in that post to Mr. Broom in general, not about your story in particular.) But - yeah, I recall starting many a point with, "Like on Buffy this one time..." and the eyes just glazed over. More's the pity for them, says I!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Question: does anyone know where I can find a transcript of the expository intro that was used when the eps were aired on Fox? I'm pretty sure that they're not on the DVDs, and even if they are, it does me no good since my dad is holding my set hostage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have you checked shrift's Firefly script site? The episode transcripts may have it.

Ah! Thanks! I shall check it forthwith.
