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

I wouldn't trust River with my baby. When she flips out, she flips out big-time. There was no reason for her to knife Jayne.

I'm not sure how Flipppy Outtie we're supposed to see River after the movie. In any event, I was only putting her in a willing playmate mode on things like jacks, not an unsupervised babysitter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's always a reason to knife Jayne. Sometimes, though, there are also reasons not to.

I may have to seize the cat.

I'm going to be seeing it with a couple people who haven't seen it on Friday (as well as a ton of people who have) and I'm actually feeling kind of guilty in a bizarre way because I know what a severe gut punch Wash's death was to me (and it still makes me sad to think about) and for whatever reason I feel like I'm inflicting that same pain on my friends and that it might be kinder to leave them in the TV-verse where Wash (and Book) still lives.

I feel this completely.

Saw the movie (kind of, had my eyes closed for much of it, because migraine) for the second time. Music was different. I miss Greg Edmondson. An excellent action movie. I was too busy being in awe of the sheer existence of the movie to appreciate it the first time, but really. Just incredible action.

Hi Kiba!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

There was no reason for her to knife Jayne.

Besides seeing the Blue Sun logo on his shirt, you mean?

Not that it was a good reason, but it was a reason in her cut-up brain.

If I only had a brain...

Yes, but somebody who sees T-shirts as cause for murder ain't getting near my loin-fruit.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I was convinced that the movie would end with Zoe finding out she was pregnant, and I'm so, so very glad it didn't.

Oh dear God yes. I just can't imagine any way to have pulled that off without invalidating the mood of the whole movie. And having me cracking up laughing.

But it's a nice thought that in some universe, somewhere, there's a little Zoe Wash baby kicking all the other babies' butts and playing with dinosaurs. It makes me happy, at least.

Murder? Pfft. Just a flesh wound. Will toughen your kids up.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I didn't think she thought the t-shirt was a reason to murder. I thought she was trying to get rid of the logo.
