Sorry to hear that, Tamara.
Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
{{Tamara}}
So sorry about Odile! I remember her postings. Damn.
I'm sorry to hear of Odile's passing. Peace to the friends and family she leaves behind.
To cheer up the mood, here's some axed FF related jokes I totally stole;
--
BOOK
I think we'll get her on the ground safely enough
MAL
God tell you that? 'Cause he's a terrible one for lies.
(to Kaylee)
My ship don't crash. If she crashes, you crashed her.
KAYLEE
Well, you could help me out, captain...
MAL
What. How.
KAYLEE
The cord wrench over there?
MAL
Yeah?
KAYLEE
Do this --
She mimes hitting herself in the head repeatedly --
KAYLEE
(continuing)
-- a few times? Maybe four?
MAL
(grins)
You're my peach, Kaylee. Don't make us die.
---
ZOE
(to Wash, over intercom) Can you hear us, Baby?
WASH
(on Serenity) You're in my head like a great idea.
--
MAL
(refering to Simon) Something about that boy just makes you wanna poke at him.
--
JAYNE
(leaning forward on mule) River's touching me. She keeps coming over to my side.
--
MAL
One of you has the code to that vault. You might make yourself known at this point.
No one moves.
MAL
(continuing) Okay, there’s a couple of things I’d like to make clear. First, we don’t want to hurt anybody. Second, my large friend over here really does wanna hurt somebody. He kinda craves violence.
JAYNE
It’s a flaw in my character.
MAL
It is a little disturbing. So I strongly suggest the trade agent make themselves known now, or my boy’ll be picking victims at random.
JAYNE
I’d like to mention I also hit women.
MAL
Good point, let’s factor that in.
--
JAYNE
Are you moonbrained?

INT. FIRST SHUTTLE (River in Inara's empty shuttle)
She touches the bed, lowers herself onto it, touches the air above her, supplicant.
RIVER
(continuing) Oh god... , just there, yes, oh, OH --
MAL
Hey!
She looks over to see the captain in the doorway, looking not at all comfortable.
MAL
(continuing) Um, I don't see any cause for you (to) be here.. doin' that..
RIVER
(complete lack of emotion) Oh, god, you fill me up, don't stop, it's so good --
MAL
I'm sure it's all kindas a' nice, but really you should stop --
RIVER
This is where she feigned.
MAL
Where she fainted?
RIVER
She lied. Sweet lies, like spun sugar. A web around her eyes. A veil. Can't see in, can't see out.
MAL
Right. Well, it was Inara's job to lie with men, if that's even remotely what you're taling about...
She says nothing, forcing him to make more talk:
MAL
(continuing) You know, kid, you were great today. Fine little criminal. I'd as soon have you stay as not, your brother and I just don't --
RIVER
Everybody leaves you.
She's up and past him with crisp effecticency.
RIVER
(continuing) I have things to alphabetize.
--
BOOK
I'm happy to watch the boat. I've known the pleasures Beaumonde has to offer. I prefer to stay here and cheat at solitaire.
MAL
Sinner.
--
JAYNE
Hate givin' up my sidearm. Feel nekkid without it.
WASH
I have that too, only with clothes.
--
ZOE
Did you really tell the Doctor you'd shoot him?
MAL
I don't know! I may have indicated violence of some kind..
(To Kaylee)
To protect you!
KAYLEE
From what? Gettin' some yum-yum?
MAL
From gettin' your heart tore up!
KAYLEE
I'm a growed-up woman, can take care of my damn heart. I think the Doc was fair sweet on me, but no -- you just couldn't stand the thought of gettin' bumpy if you can't.
WASH
(re: Zoe) Does that mean we have to stop?
-- BOOK
(re River's trigger) A message through the Cortex.
ZOE
A subliminal.
JAYNE
Words gettin' awfully long here..
MAL
We don't have time for you to play catch up, Jayne. (to Zoe, quietly) What's that mean?
--
ZOE
Go.
MAL
I ain't used to bein' ordered around by you, Zoe. It's kind of a turn on.
WASH
I'm standing right here.

Dear Santa, What I want for Xmas is Firefly back. Thanks!
According to the "many-worlds" theory, everything that could possibly happen, does happen in some version of the 'verse. There's also a theory that all moments exist independently as universes themselves, and the passage of time is really the movement of our consciousnesses from one moment-universe to the next.
Given all this to be true, I'd like to move my consciousness in a universe-with-more-Firefly direction. Let's all concentrate real hard, now.
I like Zenkitty's type of zen.
Also, for Seattleistas, there is going to be a mini-marathon at the Kirkland Performance Center. They will be showing The Train Job, The Message, Objects in Space, and Serenity the movie. It all takes place on Saturday, July 22nd at 5pm.
You can get your $12.00 tickets at [link]

I think Zenkitty wins at life today. Although I'd like to live in a universe with Firefly still on the air and no Fear Factor. And Bitter shalt be ma middle name.
I like Zenkitty's type of zen.
Wrod. Also, Tamara, thanks for letting us know about Odile. I never met her personally, but from her posts and what I've heard from others, she sounds like she was a neat lady. Peace to all of her friends and family.
When my fandom and my real life intersect: a co-worker who knows I'm looking for daycare just recommended "Jayne's Playgroup."
The mind boggles.
