I only read the first page where people were criticizing the Reaver/Native American analogy.
I was confused by this, so I checked myself. AICN first made this claim.
Huh.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I guess I can see how they could be read like that. I don't know if that was the intent, 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.
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.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
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).

What is even happening?
Everyone here has already probably already seen it, but just in case, here's a link to Joss's Equality Now speech, at YouTube: [link]
I've transcribed it, for people who can't watch it for some reason (and/or hear it): [link]

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Thanks, Cindy. I think Joss needs to be on TED 2007

Introduced by Meryl Streep? Fuck your Emmys and Oscars. That is the ultimate.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Well, I was going to see The Devil Wears Prada anyway, but now I have another reason/excuse to do so. Meryl Streep rocks.

You know, I was sort of thinking the same thing.

I was too, at first, and then she used the sort of voice adult phonies use when speaking to kids, and I suddenly didn't like her any more. Then I liked her even less while transcribing, because I am slow and had to listen to it over and over again.
