Ha!
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.
Heh. That's funny. I love Jubal's expression.
I just saw the preview for GT fall series for the first time. It looks like it might have some potential.
Whoa.
I just stepped into the FF Spoilers thread.
From the beginning.
In September 2002.
Before the show even aired.
That was weird.
I've never been there.
How accurate were the spoilers?
I only read the first page where people were criticizing the Reaver/Native American analogy. I have work to do, so I didn't want to get too sucked in.

I was confused by this, so I checked myself. AICN first made this claim.
Huh.
I guess I can see how they could be read like that. I don't know if that was the intent, though.
I think Joss pretty much came out and said that the Reavers were analgous to old-school Western movie Indians. They weren't meant to be related to actual Native Americans, but rather the "savage outsiders" of the genre.
Yeah. He says as much in the commentary on the pilot. I can see why people were critical because they'd assume it was an analogy entire instead of just analogy of one aspect (that which whoops and paints its face and cuts off your scalp for no discernible reason). Injuns, not Indians (much less Native Americans).
