Except of course, the Outlaw Star has giant arms and would engage in hand to hand combat with other starships. And occassionally smack them around with it's giant axe.
The beautiful thing about anime, they never do anything in halfs...
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

move out and draw fire
I grabbed a Wired magazine to read on the flight to the F2F, and they had a blurb about the crazy browncoat guy who raised the ~1000 to bring Firefly back. The tone of the paragraph was that he was cool.
I don't get it - you can't bring Firefly back. I do wonder if someone could play in Joss' 'Verse and make their own good stories though....

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.

Well, there is that. I thought the grappler ship idea was lame. I liked the concept of the "Caster" though, and adopted it for a Mage RPG character. It was a fun character to play. Everyone else is calling upon the spirits or releasing their chi and my guy is crouching behind cover cursing because he forgot to pack enough fire shells that day.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
My dad watched Serenity with us last night. He loved every second of it, despite never having even heard of Firefly before.
I have several friends who saw Serenity without ever having wanted to see Firefly. Every one of them liked it tremendously, but none have seen Firefly even yet--because a TV series could not begin to compare with a feature film.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Poor deluded souls.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, there's some people who don't have time to watch TV (or rather, don't make time). I mock them with non-monkey pants.
I know somebody who doesn't own a TV. I'm pretty sure they're 99.9% more productive in life than me, but it still scares me..

I mock them with The Wire, Deadwood, The Sopranos, The Singing Detective, and the Office (BBC version, natch), any of which are comparable to the finest of films.

(I actually like the NBC version of The Office).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really don't, Kevin. I know a great many people who love the hell out of it. Apparently, it really found its voice in the second season.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
(I think I'm the only one)
This is so funny because right now, I'm in, like, a psychotic thrall with the US version of the show. AND I started watching with the S2 finale and got into the show ass-backward, and in mere two weeks, I love the show almost as much as Veronica Mars (possibly more, because see: the psychotic thrall), which, if anyone knows me, is saying A LOT.
Granted, I've only watched one episode of the UK version, so I have little basis for comparison. But P-C is right in that the show really blossomed in S2.
