I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Okay, someone please remind me how to do that quote the other person's line thing again.

I wonder how many people in the cast knew Ward was going to go so operatically evil. Maybe slip the actor a note: "By the way, you're evil, don't tell anybody".

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

A > at the beginning of the line will do it. Also, check out the "quick-edit formatting" link above the post box whenever you need a reminder.

Ah. Thanks. I actually read the quick-edit thing twice and couldn't find it, because it's only right freakin' there! So embarrassing. I must have logged a couple of thousand posts here between 2002 and 2009 and now I can't remember how to do a simple block quote.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Wolfram, it's good to see you posting.

I would have to watch the first season again (which I probably won't ever do again ever because of the dreadfulness of most of it), but I don't recall there being any ambiguity about his performance to indicate that he might have even known himself that he was playing evil. Which was the only thing I hated about that twist. Evil Ward works better for me though. I hope he doesn't get cursed with a soul again anytime soon.

I like Evil Ward much better too, but I really think he is irredeemable at this point. I hope the writers don't ever try to go there.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's amazing how much more I "like" Ward when he's evil. It's like the actor is even more good-looking, as just one shallow example.

It's like Ward is more relaxed now he doesn't have to pretend not to be a psychopath anymore. Like his woodenness in the first part of Season 1 is a sign of his own cover up.
