Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh god. Has anyone else seen Serenity as told by Muppets?

Scroll down for links to each part.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay, now I have to post link in my LJ, damn it.

Thanks Zenkitty.

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

Of course Fozzie was Wash.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Hey look! They're sending us free lumber!"

My frelling word, that was hi-larious.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am highly amused by the fact that at this quiz [link] Daniel scored as Kaylee, and I came in as Simon. Highly amused.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Because we need more speculating and rumors. :)

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.

Or maybe CW has decided to start a new animated Justice Leage spin-off featuring the adventures of Vigilante, Vixen and, um, some other female character whose name starts with a V to keep theme going.

It's sad when rumors like this don't even make remotely happy or have a sense of hope, but instead make me worry about what new insanity they're going to stir up in the fanbase.

And how is that not fun?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

One of the interesting, I suppose, aspects of Firefly has been the reaction within the fan base of late. Longer term fandom people had the prospect of Serenity to look forward to for a long time - and also the aspect of sequels, which was probably played upon too much - so now there's obviously a degree of desperation in the air. I also think many elements of the show stoke the fire - 'doing the impossible' and 'too pretty to die' ring in my ears. Although, that last bit isn't exactly anybodies fault - it clearly wasn't written with the meaning some infer on it.

And then, of course, there's the movie - can't stop the signal! You can never stop the signal! I'm not sure how intentional that was, anyway. Oh, and the marketing: fans campaigned tirelessly for 70 years to have the movie, hurling themselves at tall buildings (or words to that effect).

Still, though, I suppose one of the things that made the fandom buzz worth it on the run up to the movie was actually, well, the fandom buzz. It was off the charts. People were hyped. (Mostly) happy times.
