Allibelle post a dream in the old WX firefly that I think deserves to be in the new board.

Aren't you already spoiled enough? I'm doing my best to forget about it. Besides, it had a cliffhanger ending that seemed to involve those scary mutant things from Spy Kids and falling out of a spaceship. It also involved a lot of paperwork as the whore girl was really a princess, but she wanted to give up her title so that she could marry Captain Tight Pants. So she did, and a lot of the episode involved that transfer of power, and River kind of just kept wandering in and out, and then the Whore went looking for the Captain, and she couldn't find him, and then she thought he was the guy getting hot and heavy with the other girl in the pool, and she was stunned, and then the police came and arrested her for voyeurism because it's against the law, and she was crying because her world was falling apart right in front of her eyes, and then the Captain bailed her out and it turned out he was just cleaning his apartments for when she moved in. And then when you thought it was going to be happy, the mutants came in and shoved the Whore out of the spaceship, and then the Captain after her. And then the mutants laughed. The Whore's apartments, by the way, were very messy, and she is, apparently, a pack rat

As I told Alibelle at the time she posted - I so want to see Joss film this.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Since people seemed to like my Buffy preview/reaction thingy, here is what I wrote about Firefly.

The wierdo pro-Confederacy, anti-government, anti-Establishment vibe. I know they're like, small-r rebels, not big-r rebels, but I feel like I showed up at an early NRA convention. "States' rights! Now and forever!" I don't know about you, but I'm glad the Union won the Civil War.

Yeah, I got that vibe too. It helps to think of it as The Empire/Republic. (Complete with snarky antihero™! Antihero comes with dusty brown clothes, slacker attitude and held-together-by-duct-tape ship. Princess in need of rescue sold separately.)

Tom Shales didn't much care for the first ep of Firefly.

I don't have links, but USA Today and that guy from TV gUide that loves Buffy gave the first ep decent-good reviews.

I've read one review (can't remember where, or I'd link) that said Firefly was better than BtVS because the characters are more accessible. (Now, personally, I think they were heavy into the monkey crack when they wrote that, but it does bode well for the popularity of the show.)

Herc on AICN said:

The Reavers, said to be modelled upon the Old West’s more bloodthirsty Native American tribes, remain phantoms in “Firefly.”

Anyone know anything more about these scary guys?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Apparently, episode #4 is Ben Edlund's first, and it's a Jayne-centric episode.
