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.
Fay, it was TomW. Who is very smart and funny.
Um, not that I
actively
care, and not that the above is spoilery as such, but can people please get into the habit of white-fonting Firefly-related posts in here? Cheers.
Okay, I fixed Fay's question. FWIW, my quote has nothing to do with the show, but rather with a conversation Allyson had at work.
Edited to clarify what the frell I was talking about.
Nutty, re Firefly:
Reavers: space nihilists! ...I wonder if they say "Arrr" like real pirates, or if they wear black and smoke a lot of cigarettes. I don't think I could bear to be murdered and cannibalized by someone in a beret. Or for that matter, by Rob Zombie, which is the look Stockholm Syndrome Guy was edging towards.
Can I be pissy and ask that you state which show you're whitefonting for, when you whitefont, because some people may be happily slutting for Buffy but not for Angel, or deciding that since they don't know if Firefly will get picked up in their country, they may as well get what snark out of it that they can?
...or deciding that since they don't know if Firefly will get picked up in their country...
