Silence in space is one of my favorite things about Firefly. I think it adds to the tension, because one expects a boom and then it doesn't come, and part of you is still tense, waiting for the boom.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is even happening?
I don't think I can to watch this. Fleets of space cannibals and psychic teenage assassins I can handle, but Chris Rock being able to land Gina Torres as his wife just involves too much disbelief for me to suspend.
I started to think about that, but he is funny, and funny is a great sexer upper. Still, Gina is such a goddess.
Besides, we bought (in a marvelled at sort of way) that Wash landed her. ijs

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Silence in space is one of my favorite things about Firefly.
I watched Superman Returns yesterday, and there's a scene where Supes hovers above the planet and superlistens to the world's suffering, and all I could think of was SOUND DOES NOT TRAVEL THROUGH A VACUUM NO MATTER HOW SUPER YOUR HEARING IS.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well, almost always. Have you seen Lone Star? Gorgeous setting, good story, interesting transitions between two time periods, great twist at the end.

Oh yes, I loved Lone Star. I need to go imdb Chris and see where he hasn't been the bad guy. Except for this one, my brain can't churn any up. He does creepy so well though.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Chris Rock doesn't have Wash's arms.
I know Allyson will have my back on this point.

Hey, I'm not the only molecular biologist around here! *waves at Sheryl*
Yeah, ya gotta love that episode of Voyager where they had a microscope that zoomed in on someone's DNA sample until they could see the individual atoms. They were differently-coloured balls, just like molecular models. And then one of the atoms had a little bar code on it, which is how they knew the aliens were messing with them.
Eyes rolled out onto the floor.
....Ye gods, that *is* going to be one gorgeous baby. yay Gina and her man!!
