What y'all said.
This episode of the 'Jars Loves Firefly Show' will probably end up being in an incoherent list format, but bear with me, because there was so. much. goodness.
Mutant cattle. Oh, yes. My God, but could Simon be more adorable? Sean Maher pulled that scene off so well, I was actually squealing at the television. As Fay said, woobie! Also loving Wash and Zoe. And Jayne's hat, and his letter from his mother, though what kind of mother would end up with Jayne is certainly an open question.
The war flashback was just so classy. All the bits that you've already mentioned -- yes and yes. I loved the Seeker dealie aswell though. So freaking classy.
Tracy, whoever he may be, was fabulous. The senselessness of the whole thing just about broke me. Mal's reaction was heartbreaking, and makes me want to give Nathan Fillion some kind of award. Supreme Ruler of the Galaxy, perhaps? Do you think he'd settle for my firstborn?
There's more bitter creeping into my sweet now though. Only two episodes left! If anyone needs me, I'll most likely be renting a houseboat in Egypt.
Was this the one they were filming when Kristen and I were there? Was there some soldier freaking out while eating a can of beans?
It
was
smashing, wasn't it?

I was thinking maybe he could try contributing to the creation of my firstborn. (This is in no way related to my ongoing plan to become Canadian. No siree. Nothing to see here. Move along.)

Such is my devotion to the show that I've taken this whole living in de Nile thing literally. Yes. 4 weeks and counting before I'm off to Cairo.

That would be the one Allyson.
Jayne's note from Mom just about broke me. No wonder he's so mercenary, he's sending his money home to help his poor mother care for Maddy who is sick. What a big softie. And then the discussion with Book about death and such. Priceless. Told me /so/ much about Jayne as a man, love it.
Fay, your commitment astonishes me. I'll just be hiding my metaphor in shame over in the corner.
Allyson, could I possibly steal/share/borrow your brain for a day to know the terrificness of seeing Firefly filming? I'll try not to dirty it, I promise.
And yup, the Baldwin is a comedy genius.
I guess I just wish I worked for a company who had the esprit de corps that Serenity does. And the loyalty. And the code of honor.
Without having to drop a bunch of years and join the armed forces, I mean.

It was a bit like that when I worked for a Czech beer company, actually. Small team, everyone supportive and friendly and pulling together, everyone very much believing in the noble cause of promoting and selling a really lovely and quality beverage with a long and noble history. Plus, free beer!
...and then the parent company sold us out, and the UK offices were closed, and we all lost our jobs.
rassensassenfrassen stupid world
I loved the "My food is problematic" line. Very good. Wash and the cow fetus was fun, Jayne and the hat. The guy likes his crap hats. Holden was top class again. Just too good to be cancelled.
Or, you know, not. Fuckers.
WASH
A man walks down the street in that
hat, people know he's not afraid of
anything.
