And when going to Rosie's place, Web wants Rebecca away from the actual fire, and she is the one who insists on going there with Paul. Things got reversed. And she's the one rushing into the point of origin of the fire, Rosie's apartment. And in doing it, on her choice, she also manages to go through the image of the Pony Man who scared her so much at the beginning of the episode, and even more than that - seeing his image burn, beating that inner demon who still haunts her.

So Web - and at least Paul - know that Rebecca was, in a way, responsible for the deaths of those three people found in that motel. And t least Web seems to offer her comfort regarding that, even beyond her young age and the certainty that she had had no idea what would have happened as a result of the fire that she had started. It's a grey comfort, regarding the possible future victims, perhaps, of her kidnapper (in a way, similar to the Pre-Filer of an earlier episode, who wasn't that different from him killing that serial killer in the very first episode), but still.

And then Rebecca - for the first time, right? - tells his something from her inner world, on her own, by her initiative. Something is different, isn't it? And Web, as manipulative play-at-people as he is, brought that change on.

Oh, and I knew we're going to see the Pony Man again, as soon as Web mentioned that he wasn't at all sure that Becky's kidnapper was one of the bodies. Only, how did Web, again, know? It all comes back to him, even when it's all about Rebecca's past.

OK, back to reality, I guess, for this round, at least. Thanks for the distraction.

Just caught Done The Impossible. Tim is very cute, and makes the best joke in it.

I'm downloading it now!

Also, Kevin, I saw you post something at Whedonesque:

10) The extensive efforts made by the Save Firefly people.

Surprisingly, although this is covered, I thought it gave the impression other people had ran the campaign.

Not having seen the documentary yet, I was just curious about what that meant.

Well, I may have just not been paying attention - that happens a lot - but whenever Firefly: AA came up it was Jeremy talking about what had been done. I just checked and it's termed as "we" did this and that, so I don't think it comes off wrong, it's just kept generic.

I liked DTI more than I thought I would. It's certainly extremely professionally put together.

Gotcha. That makes sense.

And I was very impressed by the professional look of the promo they put together. Glad to hear the documentary lives up to that.

Yep. I think the only errors I could really see was the background noise during Joss' bit (which, of course, isn't something they could get around) and the light reflecting in Tim's glasses (he was facing a window to the outside by the looks of it). And lets face, if that's the biggest problem on a home brew documentary you've done well.

Let's compare this to the one I shot last year. We basically lost the Edinburgh world premiere footage as it was recorded in the wrong DV format, the handheld bits I shot looked appauling, sound was completely wank and there was no time or budget to edit it together. So Jeremy and friends did a little better. I since have thoughts about doing a film on how not to make a documentary, as I think I'd be superb on that subject.

Does anyone know, was Men Without Hats, Safety Dance, any sort of inspiration for the look of Pylea (or even just for Numfar)?

Folks, does anybody know if Nilly's review of Serenity is still kicking about anywhere? Somebody is asking for it: [link]

By the way, Topic!Cindy - best link ever.

shrift posted in the Firefly topic, I believe, that Nilly's site was going to be inaccessible for a bit. shrift's domain was hacked, and she's been killing herself for the past week trying to get everything back up. Maybe someone who's a member of that board could post the information there? I expect it'll be back up soon.

Cheers, Dana. I've let them know. Nilly - you are a total celeb in the Firefly world, you know.
