Quasi-totalaitarian fascists have been known to get elected democratically.
No, I get that (lord do I get that), but I think at a certain point it would cease to be a democracy, or even a "democracy".
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.

My friend Leonard has a running gag about how if Jonah Goldberg were anyone else's offspring, he'd spend his days attending Trekkie conventions while living in his parents' basement. Instead he's a national columnist.
Well, that's the NR for you.
New Reich?
Gus, step away from National Review.
Oh. Sorry.

I got an email from Time and Space Toys that the Serenity Ship Ornament is now available.
Also, I had ordered the Firefly companion book from Amazon and got notice that hit was shipping early. Well, due to extreme brokedness I had to attempt to cancel my order. (It was too late.) But I did get the information from Amazon's customer service that the book was in high demand.
I wonder if that's why it's shipping early. (It wasn't scheduled to come out 'til next week.)
I got my Serenity ship ornament today. It is so pretty! I danced with glee, just to hold it in my hands, my very own little Serenity!

It's shiny. Yep. You should get yourself one.

Good grief. I just realized, that thing I wrote about the Serenity ornament rhymes and scans. Gah. Too geeky.

In most cases, street dates for books aren't a certainty, although Tuesdays are generally the new release day for those books that have a strict-on-sale date. The Firefly companion started trickling into warehouses two weeks ago, and I got mine this past week.
I was in the front row at the Hugo Award ceremonies at LA Con IV and I realized my little camera had a Quick Time "movie mode." I was able to capture JW's acceptance speech as read by Morena. Here it is.
(Am I imagining it, or has something about the You Tube process put the audio out of sync?)
