'Serenity'


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.

Hey. New board.

I got a coherent story, it's just so completely AU for any Universe that it made me WTF at times. Not that that's bad - I love AU.

My intrerpretation: Angel and Crew, after getting info from Andrew, decide to kill crazy-slayer/River/sometimes Faith/at least once Gwen (I loved the meshing). Buffy is all Dawn-style protective for... some unexplained reason. Spike abandons Angel-and-crew for Buffy, and they have a battle of the badasses. Angel wins, captures the slayer, but.... ZOMG THE TWIST CAN THEY SAVE CRAZY-SLAYER?

It'd be long, but it could be pretty good. Definitely more a Buffyverse story than Firefly-verse, though.

What is even happening?

Why white font about stories all of which bowed two or three years ago?

I think it would be better without River; she's not part of the 'verse. I don't think her presence in the Buffyverse would hurt the Buffyverse, but I think it feels like a violation of a Firefly character, and its 'verse.

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

Just ran into Sean Maher at the grocery store. He was very beautiful and I managed to chat without making an extraordinarily large jackass out of myself while thinking, "gosh, he's beautiful."

I said, "wow, you look beautiful!"

Which I say to boys I know well who look beautiful, but am unsure if it's a weird thing from an almost complete stranger to say.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Surely, he's used to it by now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Last weekend I told a stranger I'd had a crush on him when I was 14. It seemed to work out okay.

I was white-fonting the fake story, for those who haven't seen the trailer yet. I... don't really know why?

I agree it'd be better without River, though incorporating the Serenity fight scenes gave for some fabulous action moments.

Sean Maher IS beautiful.

Ah. I see. You're not just adorkable; you're also considerate.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

In Edinburgh, me and my friend Kirsty got on to the red carpet at the Serenity (actual world) premiere at the film festival. I stood there, with a crap home MiniDV camera in hand, whilst Kirsty fished out a microphone which resembled (and possibly was) a karaoke one. Some security guy came up, but I protested and we stayed. Hurray!

Anyway, we interviewed everybody (including Nathan, who seemed to shout things at us, and Adam Baldwin, who totally realised we were fans - Kirsty had a giant Serenity patch on her coat which was possibly a small giveaway). And everything was great. Nobody geeked out. And then we got to Sean Maher.

And Kirsty drooled over him. Like, a lot. She grazed into his dreamy eyes and drifted off into oblivion. Hell, I almost did the same, and I'm not gay. He is, as some may suggest, a very pretty man.

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?

Serenity is on HBO right now. AIFG!
