Science Channel is advertising "new" Firefly every Sunday. It's new to *them*, anyway. They're showing Bushwhacked now. One of my favorite episodes.
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.
'Serenity'
Firefly 5: That's my girl... That's my good girl.
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Someone posted photos several years ago. I don't know what they were doing in a landfill outside Las Vegas, but they stumbled across the partly disassembled ambulance copter thingy. Still had the decals on the outside.
I remember Tim being really impressed with the Firefly set because they could do a tracking shot the full length of the ship. And several of the actors, notably Summer, used to hang out in parts of the "ship" that weren't being used for filming, just soaking up the atmosphere of the ship.
Great show. Shame it sank without a trace, and nobody remembers it, huh?

Hee.
I will have to finish up watching, because I love the resolution with Jayne. And I love Jayne as a character and how complex he was, for an apparently simple guy. I loved that you understood his villainy, and you understood his character arc.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Forgot to bring it up last week, but i did read Shepherd's Tale yesterday and while i enjoyed the backstory, i don't feel like there is a gap somewhere that does not explain why his id card buys him such defference from alliance folks.
specifically, if he was discharged as an embarrasment and humiliation and left to die in an escape shuttle to a deserted planet...why would alliance go out of their way to help him? Seems like they would still want him dead.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, I just saw an ad on Science Channel. Now, I love Firefly. A lot. But it's science fiction, not science.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think thay are calling them "new" because of the added content of somebody discussing the scientific basis for elements of the show. I haven't watched, yet, though.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Because of shipping costs and delays, we usually don't get Entertainment Weekly here. If someone could pick up a copy of the issue with Nathan Fillion on the cover (3/17?), or send me an old copy if you don't feel the need to keep it, I would be happy to cover costs and would be ever so grateful. Profile addy is good. Thanks!

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.
