Wash ,'Jaynestown'
Discussion of all Firefly episodes, including "Trash", "The Message", "Heart of Gold", and any movie news.
FOX really can't win though?consider the genre show that they did give time to garner an audience, and then kept on the air years and years and years after it should have been put out of our misery.
Heh - I was thinking about adding a comment about X-Fliles, and how Fox probably demanded certain things that ended up ruining the show, but then I figured - Why let Chris Carter off the hook for anything. He definitely Peter-principled himself, so why blame the suits.
Just watched Heart of Gold.
Interesting musical note: The whore who sings at the end is Angie Hart, who also sang in "Conversations With Dead People". She used to be in the Australian band "Frente!"
So, I just watched "Trash".
Can I exchange Inara for Saffron? I love her, from the tips of her treacherous curls, down to her deceitful little pinky toes. The actress who plays her's got way more chemistry with NF than Morena B. (Although I did sense better-than-usual UST in the shuttle scene between Mal and Inara.)
I loved the knocked-down, dragged-out hissy fights between Mal and Saffron at the beginning. Like a couple of schoolyard kids they were. They make such a fun team, full of snark, vinegar, and backstabbing. I am also hugely pleased at the way Jayne's betrayal in "Ariel" was handled by Simon--I now love Simon even more than I did, if such a thing was possible.
What I wouldn't give to have been present when they were shooting the Naked-Mal scene the end! I dunno how the rest of the team could stop breaking down in laughter long enough to film the scene. And the shit-eating grin on Mal's face as Serenity's door was closing.... just delightful stuff.
Man, I love this show.
Can I exchange Inara for Saffron?
Right with you.
Inara and Saffron and for that matter Zoe bring out different aspects of Mal. The unaired 3 helped me with Inara, but I still never got a great deal of warm feelings for her.
Must say I was all happy to see Saffron back. Unapologetically sneaky. Like Jayne being unapologetically thugish.

Yeah, I was thinking that Saffron is basically Jayne with a brain.

Except Saffron does not have "man parts."
Mal would have noticed.
But would he have cared?
Just watched "The Message." Crying now.
