Oh, I certainly didn't think he was being overly harsh. I just found it amusing. It was the first time I have had my hand slapped over there.
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.
Oh, I certainly didn't think he was being overly harsh.I didn't think you thought that. I'm sorry if that came across even related to what you were saying.
I just said it because Beverly asked if backup was needed, and I'd be hard pressed to invade Whedonesque, since Simon's been so good to us.
Although I do miss riding with a righteous bitch brigade from time to time. It is cleansing. Oh my, I'm having horrible Bronze homesickness, right now.

Not at all. Don't mind me. I am having issues hearing the right "voice" on the Internet these days. And I just want to make sure that I am being clear.
Now I'm in the mood for barbeque.

My SISTAH!!!
See. We need a place where we can be ourselves.
(At this point, you might expect me to pimp LJ to you, but my mind is elsewhere.) Sniff
But Five will be back. Not for years -- maybe 20 or so -- but it will come back. It wil be with your granchildren, and when it departs it will bite one of your children on the ankles and then, for old times sake, find you and Scott and nibble each of you. Five is like that.
You're right. I had Fifth Disease last summer, and I should have known much more than I did, just from it's name.
Missing Bronze more now. Some of it.
There's a lot of unspoiled reactions to Serenity here: [link]
Fun times. It seemed to go either way with people - the deaths (or rather, Washs' death) either completely forced people out of the story (self protection?) or drew them into an emotional wreck.
I just watched the movie again last night. I loved the movie but it doesn't do for me what Firefly does. I watched both multiple times, but I still go back and watch Firefly when I'm bummed, or tired, or upset. It has become an old friend, like I've become part of the crew. Which makes it sound old and tired, and it's not that. I still find nuances I hadn't seen before.
Serenity doesn't do that for me. It's a movie, not family. I'm not sure how much of that is a function of TV v. feature film.
I'm not delusional. I would be thrilled with more Firefly, but I don't see it happening. But deep down inside I really want it back.
eta: Anyway, I'm not delusional about the chances of getting Firefly back at this point.
