Not to be on-topic or anything, but this Lost/Firefly crossover vid is very clever and amusing. It does include spoilers up to the S2 finale of Lost, though.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I have vague memories of Watergate. I didn't understand what was going on. I just knew that the President had been Bad and was in Trouble. I remember seeing that now-famous footage of him leaving the White House and I remember Ford getting sworn in.

It strikes me that it makes more sense for my "election" memory to actually have been a Vietnam war memory, with the white and black balls being casualties. I liked my fake memory better.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Call for papers for a collection of Firefly/Serenity essays
Thought maybe Nilly or Gus would be interested.

What is even happening?
I *think* I remember either RFK's or MLK jr.'s funeral. I would have been one year old, but I remember knowing someone important died and it being on TV. I have vague memories of Vietnam on the news, but usually my mother couldn't bear watching Vietnam coverage.
I specifically remember the Watergate story and hearings, and next the Patricia Hearst kidnapping, and when she went on trial. I think from this and Watergate, I got a warped view of the news (and maybe the world). Okay, maybe not so warped. Maybe I ended up jaded/realistic, early.
The first and only Republican my (maternal) grandmother ever voted for was RR. She was an FDR Democrat in the extreme, and had voted for Carter in '76.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
One of the authors I'm currently working with is named Simon Tam. It's making me happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Anyone know where I can find a copy (preferably .mp3) of the acoustic Firefly theme that played at the very end of the Serenity credits? Such a tragedy that it wasn't included on the score CD.

IMnotsoveryHO, Firefly is the definition of Brilliant But Cancelled.
Thanks for sharing the link. Alas, I do not have the plugins required to access it at work, and my computer at home is pretty hopeless right now.
Sigh...

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

It's a copy of the map Wash and Mal pour over in Safe (was given out in FOX's press kit back in 2002). Unfortunately it's massive so it's quite hard to make out the planet names and such.
And yes. I'm a massive geek today.
