firefly

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Just watched the "Objects in Space" episode again where the bounty hunter sneaks aboard to take River. That guy has some great lines.

I saw Serenity in the theaters back in the day and really liked it, but I've only finally started watching Firefly thanks to it being on Netflix instant watch. I've only seen the first two episodes - it can be really slow at points, but really fun in others, and I've heard it picks up, so there you go.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Hell yeah. Jubal Early is a great character. Every time I see Richard Brooks in other things, I'm always "Hey! It's Jubal Early!"

I love that awkward moment Early has with Simon where Early mishears something Simon says.

Simon: Are you Alliance?
Jubal Early: Am I a lion?
Simon: What?
Jubal Early: I don't think of myself as a lion. You might as well though, I have a mighty roar.
Simon: I said "Alliance."
Jubal Early: Oh, I thought...
Simon: No, I was...
Jubal Early: That's weird.

10 years ago tonight, Firefly premiered on Fox with the 2nd episode, "The Train Job."

If you're one of those who haven't seen it yet, Fuck you.

Anyone watch the reunion on the Science Channel? Pretty good, with most of the cast reflecting on the show.
And Tim Minear dropped a big semi-spoiler about what would have been in store for one of the characters if the show had continued.

Is this directed at someone specific?
Nobody here is going to watch Boardwalk Empire until "somebody" watches this and then reads Game of Thrones.

"What does that make us?"
"Big Damn Heroes."
"Ain't we just."

I just marathoned through all 14 episodes (15 if you count the Pilot as two) this afternoon/evening.
It is a gorram travesty this series got scrapped so soon. I mean an epic unforgivable travesty on par with if the Wrights hadn't built a plane or Philo Farnsworth not inventing TV or God not inventing orgasms.

I'm not reading every post in this thread, but I fucking hate you guys.

Especially you, Tomassi.

Any one of you--especially Tomassi, who was in LA for some of the time--could've come to my house and made me watch this damn show instead of constantly putting it on the back burner. You're all a bunch of gorram humps.
