Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Isn't Pierce Brosnan Irish anyway?
Yes - he's an honourary knight like Geldof and Guiliani

If I only had a brain...
I admire the magical boob tape.
Oooh, Betsy, I'm curious. What are you now?
Really, really depressed.
I think force is sometimes necessary, although a lot less often than people think. I think the fact of having a superior army makes it more tempting to use force when negotiation would be appropriate. I think it is difficult to negotiate effectively without also having an army.
I think people aren't as trustworthy and honorable as I wish they were.

'And on that tragic day, an era came to its inevitable end.'
That's all there is.
Nota Bene For Australians:
The current issue of TV Week 2-8 August, has a four page feature on Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Oh sure. now they tell me what a great show it has been!
deja vu to the reviewer in The Australian who did a laudatory review on Forever Knight on the day of the series finale.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Doyle rocked, but he was no Officer Skanky.

I think people aren't as trustworthy andhonorable as I wish they were.
Agreed. The trouble with the pacifist argument is that it assumes people are, or soon will be, a lot more trustworthy and honorable than they ever will be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Am I the only one who didn't see a great difference between the taped and non-taped boobage?

It's a remora, dimwit.
Unlikely, as NB said the view was spectacular when they did that scene.
Dude, that was way back in the 3rd season. There could have been some major changes in 4 years.

Umm - don't know what context the comment was made in. But there is a whole spectrum of opinion between pacificism, and the belief that the U.S. should pretty much stomp anyone it does not like.
Or to take the current case of Iraq. About 90% of those who opposed the invasion of Iraq were not pacifists.

And there are pacifists who will admit this, and yet remain pacifists, on the basis that you have to give people a chance to be trustworthy and honourable or they never will be.
