Everytime this thread is dead for greater than three hours, or a multiple of three, I shall declare The Verse dead.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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.

Can't be dead, I'm here to agree with libkitty. We saw the same movie and liked the same things. I do understand the objections I hear from other folks, but it worked for me. As much as Serenity tied up the River storyline, it also, by proxy, gave me a bit of Buffy back because River was a ditzy (not so blonde) little chick with powers just like Buffy was and I wanted a better ending than just SMG standing there with a sappy smile.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I had no problems with the deaths other than the fact that I had to keep my mouth shut from December 2004 until basically October 2005.

Price of being a spoiler ho (no offense).
He never presumed there would be no consequences for his own crew. To the contrary, he told them that there was a high chance of dying.
That, and they were all dead anyway. The Operative didn't leave much behind even in the circumstances when he did get what he wanted.
As for the other, TV!Mal put lives before causes. It seemed that he had had an epiphany after the battle of Serenity along those lines. Movie!Mal did put the cause before the lives.
I thought it was a question of being forced back into that person he used to be because of the corner they were in.

I'm not a spoiler ho. That is when I first saw the movie.

Was teasing. I saw it in June and that was bad enough with all the "Why didn't you tell me?" recriminations from friends.
I'm pretty sanctimoniously spoiler-pure, even when I'm the one in the know. With my ho-ish, but non preview-enhanced friends, I was all "how'd ya like them HSQ apples, biatch?"

My bad. My sense of humor left for vacation this week.

Thank you. Sincerely. I knew many people that knew, and talked about the movie with them a lot. And I still didn't know, didn't even have an inkling, until I saw his death on opening night. For this, I thank everyone who saw one of the previews, who accidently read a spoiler posted in the wrong spot, or, you know, who was a spoiler ho.
