I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

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.

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.

I've converted the new bloke. This pleases me. Yes.

He's still not big on Buffy though. But he buys me comics, so it all balances out.

Well done Jars. I didn't know you had a man with man bits.


Jars - Feb 08, 2006 6:25:18 am PST #7919 of 10001

Yes, real honest-to-dog man bits.

He's been MSNing me all day as he's been watching disc three. The latest one was telling me that I didn't have to be jealous anymore because he loved Kaylee less when she chickened out of using the gun. Yeah, he's converted. And we've decided that I'm allowed marry Mal and Simon and Inara so long as he can have Kaylee and Zoe. And Inara on weekends. Excellent.

Fair trades, that.

But little River is feeling all left out.


Jars - Feb 08, 2006 6:30:07 am PST #7921 of 10001

Meh. The voices will keep her company.

I've almost stopped trying to convert people, because it just means that I have to go through the pain of not telling them what happens in the movie all over again. Wash is his favourite character. Won't shut up about him. Yeah.
