Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the Reavers are exactly as I would have pictured them, which was a big disappointment, as I wanted them to be more freaky and unexpectedly scary and what-not.

What is even happening?

(That goes double when a ballerina can keel them all ded easy as pie.)
If a Nutty can kill a cheetah on a squash court, there's no telling what a ballerina can do.

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

Damn, I hate COMMing whitefonted. I'll have to let that one slide.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Nutty killed a cheetah on a squash court?

A Cheeto I can understand. So long as it doesn't get you first.

I'd like to chime in and say I've been curious about Allyson's opinion since her @@4EVAH comment a few days ago.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'll admit, I was kind of hoping this was just about Krumholtz and his fembot.

Rob Zombie and a bunch of his friends, dancing to thrash music.

Okay, this made me laugh. A lot. Especially because, for the past few days, I've been thinking of the Reavers as Rob Zombie.

Ankh-Morpork Watchman, Dreamer, Scooby, Minister of Grace, Still Flyin' in a Zoo2 World

Sorry to be clueless but what does @@ mean in this context? Or a long string of @'s for that matter?

Also, Allyson didn't like it? I'm shocked, shocked.

A whole bunch of eye-rolling.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

I'd be interested to see if non-fans fall for Wash -- I think he was played pretty well in the movie.

At the screening I saw on Monday, the crowd definitely fell for Wash. I was worried that people weren't getting into it emotionally until that point. When Wash started to repeat "I am a leaf on the wind..." everyone began laughing and that made the death more dramatic because those laughs abruptly stopped and turned into gasps. Further confirmation that the audience was invested in everyone's fate came when Simon was shot and there were more audible reactions. At that point, I knew the audience was really living with these characters.
