You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I know Joss has garnered a measurable amount of uncool and dislike, however, not only do I still love Firely, but I also really loved a strong season and a half of Dollhouse. So I'm a fan of his science fiction.

Just as I know John Irving likes Bears and Vienna, I know Joss loves his barefoot waifs and a sex-bot or two and will look askance at his pet tropes.

I am familiar with his oeuvre. (As are we all!)

But I do value his way around a quip, and his ability to imagine a 'verse and plumb it for metaphorical possibilities. And his characters are strong and vivid.

So I will check it out.

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

I plan to check it out, it sounds right up my alley. I hope Joss can keep his pet tropes in the kennel, though. Victorian women did not go about barefoot, sorry Joss.

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to watch it and drink every time a Joss trope happens.

Oh, that would make for a great Watch And Post!

It would! Too bad it's on HBO which a lot of us don't have. Maybe we can do it twice.

Twice as many drinks!

What is even happening?

That sounds right up my alley, EXCEPT that I have never liked any of Joss' sci-fi projects.

I'm hoping Variety's use of "sci-fi" was just because a lot of entertainment writers tend to lump all fantasy into sci-fi, even when it's not.

The series is described as a sci-fi epic about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world.

"Unusual abilities" in Victorian women sounds more fantasy than sci-fi (at least I'm telling myself that).

Oh, who am I kidding. I'm going to watch it and drink every time a Joss trope happens.

Oh, your liver!

At least the dresses are likely to be awesome?

The status is NOT quo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm looking at Monica Owusu-Breen's writing credits and I'm amused that she has a Fringe episode titled "Enemy of My Enemy" and a S.H.I.E.L.D. ep titled "Frenemy of my Enemy".

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Huh.

I would hope they're going to do all new stories while keeping the name and the general world. I'd have zero interest in a retread of the original storylines.
