Minor casting thing I shall white out - Check out who's on Tim's epi of Dollhouse: [link] - Yep, the dude who keeps beating up Fillion in Drive.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of Nathan Fillion (who's not the minor casting thing), I thought the fake ranger sounded oddly like Mal.

Had to rewatch, and, not only was the dialogue and the voice very Mal-ish, but he even had a similar nose! I mean, you couldn't park a Cadillac in it on the silver screen, but... (I love NF's nose, so I notice these things.)

The security guy - I don't even know his name - at the very end of the episode when he's talking to Echo, he's acting like Joss. I mean, seriously - check out his speech.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I was watching that episode with a neurologist who rock climbs on the weekends. Commentary flowed. At length.
Heh. I'm so used to Bad Climbing on tv and the movies, I almost don't react anymore. This time I was just glad to see they didn't have them both on toprope for no discernable reason. I could comment at length about the setup, including the fact that there was no real reason she should have fallen there, but whatever. It's like being a cop or lawyer and watchign a procedural: it's just wrong and you have to suck it up.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I see Echo as more of a prostitute than a rape victim. She didn't have much of a choice before signing that contract, but I'm sure that many prostitutes feel they have no other choice as well. Echo gave up everything, whether or not the contract is legally binding, she knew she was giving up her free will. It's equally tragic to me, but it is an important distinction for how I see the show.

Oh, oops. Thanks for the reminder, Liese.
