very sad. It does show the character depth of Mal taking care of his crew, even when they ain't his crew anymore.
Spike: Or maybe Captain Forehead was feeling a little less special. Didn't like me crashing his exclusive club, another vampire with a soul in the world. Angel: You're not in the world, Casper.

Compassionately intolerant
That look of Nathan's. At one point, I thought it was sadness, but now it looks angry. Retro-perspective, I guess.

Sorry I missed tonight, but it was great to read about it after the fact. The internet was, indeed, expensive and I had to board about half way through the wnp. The flight was good and fun (with lots of librarians, yeah!) but the hotel at some point cancelled my reservation (boo). I have a room tonight (yeah!), but don't know yet about tomorrow or the rest of the conference (boo). Wish me luck!
Oh, and it turns out that a good friend was able to come to the conference when it didn't look like she would be able to, so (yeah!) for the win!
And in on-topicness, I made a Jayne hat for AnotherAlaskan, who apparently forgot tonight, and who actually wore it for one or two winters before he lost it. I love that hat.

was it the barker?
It was Simon saying, "yup, it's a cow fetus" and me realizing that finally I was getting to watch a show set in the future with no aliens.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Okay, so I didn't participate in the w&p, but I do have some thoughts on "The Message".
Warning: Here be heresy.
I hate this episode.
I think it's the most poorly written of all the episodes. Nothing is really thought through and the McGuffin doesn't even make sense.
I mean...Tracey's smuggling superduperorgans, right? Where are his originals? Is he gonna pick them up later? How are they getting transported? Why couldn't they transport the superduperorgans the same way and leave dumb ol' Tracey out of it?
But my main beef is the idiotic ways the characters act near the end. Book comes up with a plan that amounts to little more than "call their bluff". Tracey overhears just enough of the contrived dialog to freak out and take Kaylee hostage. It's painfully obvious he has no idea what's really going on and is horribly mistaken. And nobody, nobody takes fifteen seconds to say "Tracey, you dumb fuck, LISTEN! We are NOT selling you up the river. Trust us, we'll get you out of this. Go hide somewheres while we clean up your mess." No, instead they make vague threatening "Don't do it, son, or I'ma mess you up" noises until Zoe (my prime candidate for the person to say "Tracey, you dumb fuck..." etc.) shoots him.
It's clumsy and torturedly contrived. And Tracey bugs the fuck out of me. I think this was a bad episode all around.
Thus ends the heresy.
Otherwise, of course, the show as a whole is fucking brilliant!
