I can't quite explain why this makes me laugh so, but it did.

Uh, helloooo?

Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

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

Ple, in Firefly, on people asking for deaths (of various characters, or just in general):
You guys, death isn't Mad Dog 20/20 to just whip out for a thrill. Death's a fine wine, dark and red and bitter and intoxicating. It's Valhrona, not Hershey's, Titian, not Kincaid.
Sheesh.

They are making the mistake of watching John Slow.

Allyson:
I hate John Doe. They are playing "Behind Blue Eyes," to drive home that no one knows what it's like to be the bad man, the sad man, the man that spews trivia all fucking day and doesn't know who he is and no one cares who he is because obviously no one is looking for my sorry no longer naked ass, behind blue eyes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX:
if you took a five kilogram anti-raccoon and tossed it into a reactor with a regular five kilo raccoon, the resulting annihilation of the two raccoons would provide about 20 trillion Kcal of energy, which is the equivalent to the caloric content of 100 billion twinkies, or of a single 6.5 billion pound twinkie.
That's one big twinkie.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Is that all something DX said? Or is there a difference between the quoted and non-quoted text?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
DX said the stuff about the raccoons and the kilocals of energy. I was a wiseass and added the thing from Ghostbusters.
Because twinkies are cool. Or Ghostbusters is.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Re Firefly's "hundreds of planets in the solar system" thing:
I think the conflicting stories on the astrophysics boil down to something like: "We don't know anything about astronomy. There are some planets. They are distributed in whatever way you would like to imagine that makes sense. Please watch our show."
....Aaargh! Who said this? Who said it? Damn. Sorry. Somebody smart.
