When pimping Firefly, I avoid using the words 'space' and 'scifi' and focus on the relationships and humor. I'll describe the lead as a flawed but lovable hero and then describe the scene where Mal is dueling with Inara's client in Shindig.
The being in another world aspect of it is really incidental to the interplay of the characters.
Yeah, I don't think of
Out of Gas
as Jossish at all. I think of it as wholly Tim.

Hmm. Wonder why I hear a lot of Joss in it. You're right, the story is very Tim. I still hear Joss in every other line, though.
ETA:
Zoe: What's that, sir?
Mal: Freedom is what.
Zoe: I meant, what's that?
Mal: Oh, yeah, just step around that. I think something must have been living in here.
"'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything."
Epic, thanks. Walmart's paying my salary right now, I guess I can toss them some business.
Today's TeeFury is Serenity-themed:

First xmas present purchased! Thanks, Epic!
I love this from the intervierw with the artist, asked to recommend a children's book
I can't recommend highly enough "The Monster at the End of this Book". It's a cautionary tale of modern man's disconnect from his true self featuring an award-worthy performance by Grover, and a twist ending that will leave you reeling.
I had a crazy thought. Firefly and Serenity are both streaming on Netflix. On the Xbox (dunno if other streaming platforms allow for this) have a "watch party" thingy. What if we do a watch n post party?
That's so crazy, it just might work!
Seems you're forgetting about some of omnis' other plans...
No, I'm just jealous because I don't have an Xbox.
That's a great idea, omnis. I was thinking about suggesting a Firefly watch-n-post over the holiday myself, but I am lazy.
