I think he'd lose interest and wander off.Yeah, in that he'd see the Dr couldn't pose much of a threat in the least physically.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

last nights Nightly Business Report had a shoot at a Best Buy (somewhere). As they panned past the big screen TV's, I couldn't help but notice one was some Firefly folk. Not sure which episode, I think it might have been the movie. It was kinda funny. A boring business news show, and I'm hitting the rewind button.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Morgana, despite advertising the Firefly marathon, they basically cancelled it. I think they've split it over several nights instead, or something.

It was last night starting at 11 pm Eastern. A mini-marathon of 4 episodes.

130 posts? I love you guys! (boo on me being late. But yay on me getting alllll my Christmas shopping done!)
My thoughts on "Safe":
My most favouritest piece of music from the Firefly score is "In the Tam House." Thank goodness for the soundtrack release, because it's so quiet below the scene that I never heard it before I got the CD.
Beagles!
"Cuunningly concealed herd of cows" -- hee! Boy's got a mouth on him.
Dancer-me must again weigh in on this episode: I'm impressed by the dancing in big clompy boots. (Summer's not the only one doing it, but she's probably got the most fancy footwork.) As much as I would love to be able to dance in my Dansko clogs, I just can't do any footwork with three-inch soles.
Um, something that's always bugged me: how do the kidnappers know that Simon's a doctor? do all doctors wear vests?
Book saying maybe one day he'll tell his story. gaaaaahhhh! damn you, joss. (That has no proper capitalisation 'cuz I don't really mean it. Much.)
BIG DAMN HEROES! WHEE!
Something that twigged me the very first time I saw Serenity: I wonder what happened between the series and the movie. We go from "You're part of my crew. Why are we still talking 'bout this?" to "I take care of me and mine. That don't include you 'less I conjure it does."
Another thought: The Tams' dismissal of River, especially in light of their clear regard for Simon, makes me buy the theory that was floating around some years ago that River was a "extra" child they simply bred/raised for the Academy (a la Ender's Game). There could be other explanations, of course, like clear favouritism for Simon over River, or them wanting him to succeed merely for the prestige it afford *them*. But I don't believe Joss would be that straightforward. ;-)
I'm happy to do OMR next week! Note to self: bring DVDs home for Christmas. (to watch on my parents' giant-ass TV, yay!)

Una, if I remember correctly, one of the women called him doc or alluded to him being a doctor while in the store. Or, I could be making that part up.
It looks like I'm not going to be able to make the watch and post this week. I have a carol sing and potluck at my church. The potluck I could (and have) miss, but there is no way I'm going to miss a chance to sing Lo, How a Rose, with all four parts represented.
On the positive side, I get a new toaster! I had spoken long ago to some friends about Firefly. Recently, a nephew visited with a lot of DVDs, including Firefly. Since they had heard of it (from me!), they decided to watch that. After watching, they decided that the Firefly DVDs were not going home with the nephew after all, and now Serenity has been purchased as a Christmas present from one spouse to the other. They seem nearly as enthusiastic as I was when I first saw it, so yeah!!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh no! I just realized I'm going to be at my Mom's house wednesday night. Can anyone make it or should we postpone till after the holidays?

Nor, indeed, should you miss that! (jealous.)
I can go either way about this Wednesday. I should have arrived at my parents' house by then and am planning on bringing Firefly with me anyway.

I can be here tomorrow, but I'm all for doing the watch and post when the most people can be here. Tomorrow is the 19th... will a lot of you be on the road, or otherwise engaged in holiday events? And then next Wednesday is the 26th, which I'm thinking might be another travel day for a lot of people. And then the following Wednesday is January 2nd, which again might be a travel day as people wake up from their New Year's celebrations and crawl out from under the table and lurch their way home (or is that just me?) .... so are we going to take a three-week break?

I'm either way. I'll come home tomorrow and see what's being done.
