Ha! Our nefarious plan has succeeded, then.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Hmmm. I just remembered that back when the movie was first announced, Ron Glass and Alan Tudyk were the last to be confirmed as returning. I wonder if/how that's connected.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Huh. You might have something there.

Fuckity. How come whenever I decide to get spoiled, it's never for something good?
I'm surprised, a bit, about Wash, because I though Tim and Joss really like Alan, and vice versa. But in a way I'm not surprised...if you are paring characters for a continuing series, those two are the characters to pare. Loads of emotional content in the event of their deaths, and loads of story seeds for how the survivors deal with their deaths. And I'm not sure that Joss and Alan were seeing eye-to-eye on Wash's character anyway.
I'm not surprised that there's a fan campaign to change the story, though. I mean, there's a campaign to change accepted scientific things like evolution. People just aren't very good at accepting things that make them uncomfortable or unhappy anymore.
Still jealous of all you screening-attendees.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In one way, I'm sadder about Book's death than I am about Wash's, because it means we will never learn his back story. I know there was almost no chance we would have any way, but this makes it definite.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Spoilery reveiw (FAQ, actually) of both SW:E3-RotS and Serenity on AICN: [link]
x-post with MOvies.
It's all on one link. If you want to read the Serenity stuff but don't want to be spoiled for SW:E3-RotS, just do a 'find' for "Serenity" - it's about a third of the way down.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Why are we whitefonting in spoilers.
I see Frank picked up the cluestick.
It's not really about love or lack thereof, it's about moving on, I think.

I think the thing that squicks me about the fucked up campaign is I get a serious Misery vibe off of it. Like the nutjob running it is going to tie Joss to a chair and break his kneecaps or something.
I'm probably the last person in the world to tell someone to let it go, I realize.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Is she still going? I tuned out after a couple of days.
It's not really about love or lack thereof, it's about moving on, I think.
What is this in reference to, Allyson? I can't figure out specifically what you mean.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Well, I think there's a world of difference between running a campaign to get a network to not cancel a show, and running a campaign to dictate what the creator of said show (or movie, in this case) should do with his story. Not just world - galaxy of difference. Different universes, even. And, yeah, even without reading the few comments of hers I've seen, the nature of the campaign itself sets off all kinds of warning bells for crazy.
I'm not sure why we're white-fonting at this point - it just started and then carried momentum.
