this Saturday would be ok. Following few Saturdays, not so much. But if enough folks are go, do it! I might be able to sneak away.

In the good news dept, I just got a email that my Serenity:RPG adventure is through editorial and into layout. Barring someone getting a hissy fit in the approvals stage, The Seven Arks of Cibola should end up on shelves as part of an adventure book soon...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congratulations, CaBil!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay, I found this 2005 review of Firefly by someone who had zero exposure to the series before the DVDs, and who was asked to review it for the Video Librarian magazine.
The taste of the show I got dipping into it here and there in order to write that Video Librarian capsule was beyond tantalizing: It was haunting. It was intriguing in a way that so little TV is, throwing me into the middle of a story in the middle of a strange universe and explaining nothing -- I was left to sink or swim, like I'd been dumped naked and ignorant into a new world, and that feeling was exhilarating. It didn't just lend the series an aura of authenticity -- it made it real and made me a part of it like no other mere TV show has ever done before.
That Firefly box set was one of the few Video Librarian assignments I watched all the way through. It's the only one I've watched all the way through more than once. Way more than once. I never, ever get tired of these too-few episodes. There may only be 14 of 'em, but each is such a rich tapestry of story, character, and culture that I see something new in them with every single re-viewing (and there's so much detail crammed into the backgrounds that you practically have to pause and rewind and pause again to get a look at some fascinating doodad or gadget or tidbit).
I think she may have liked it.

She may have also have pointed up another reason it failed - not everyone likes "sink or swim" television (which Fox's schedule frelling didn't help).
