Yay, Maian! Good work, my friend. Now you can be in our club (we have badges).

Firefly is on the Sci-Fi channel now on Wednesdays. As I found out last night - but it is a few episodes in now.

Must watch from beginning again now.

Yeah they keep on repeating it. That's where I first saw it - I watched Our Mrs Reynolds a few months ago.

It was the one where Niska kidnaps Mal and Wash last night. The torture scene is very funny, unintentionally or not. There's also some killer River stuff. 'No power in the 'verse can stop me'.

That episode is "War Stories," GH. God I wish that one came with a warning. You need to warn a woman before double bare chested Fillion/Tudyk action.

Sci-Fi Channel in the States is re-airing Firefly soon too, in order, starting July 22nd. Hoo-RAY! (I think I read somewhere that they're divvying up the two-hour pilot into two parts, tho. Weird.)

Yes, watched it all now and enjoyed every moment of it! Can't wait for Serenity and to lend the DVD to my friends to create more fans. Still, makes me a bit sad that it ended so early, as a sassy robot once said ''another classic science fiction show cancelled before it's time''

Why do people fancy Kaylee? She's not even hot. If I was to give her a nickname it would be frozen mouse baby.

HOW DARE YOU! YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!!

Indeed. Kaylee is the heart of Serenity. *nod* That's reason enough right there.

I mean, if I were of a certain persuasion, my own personal preference would be Zoe...but Kaylee's nice too.

Whenever anyone says someone or something is the 'heart' of something it always reminds me of 'The Simpsons'.

"No, no, no, you can't lose the pie! The pie's your heart."

Kaylee is DEFINITELY the pie of Serenity.

Hair pie! Hair pie!


ten points for the reference spot.

I spent the last two hours trying to book tickets to the Premiere of Serenity in Edinburgh. But they are sold out now. Gah!

Two hours of redialling over and over again. Ow!

Disregard

Have a look at this ella.

Serenity Frenzy

I gleefully got 3 tickets to the Sydney pre screening, in 2 weeks.
I'm hoping that this will be a final edit. I'd heard it was getting a PG rating in the States. Which if it is the case will mean a radically cut down version of what I saw 2 months ago. I'll do a recap on my review after I see it again in a fortnight.

I hope you finally get some tickets hey.
It serously kix arse.

Attention Serenity fans!
There will be a fourth screening on Sunday 28th August. Tickets will be available from noon on Monday 22nd August.

The Ed Film Fest has another screening going on sale!!!!

buy tickets here

luvs nix

I was lucky enough to have a lovely flatmate that was on the ball and got us tickets to the premiere. It's my birthday on the Thursday beforehand so it's my present from him.

I was talking to some other fans at the weekend and they actually went along to the cinema to get tickets. They said that the staff at the cinema were completely bemused by the amount of people trying to get tickets.

Never underestimate the power of geekdom!

I can wait until September . . . just . . .

It's been pushed back to October 7th

I will be away from the internet between its American release and whenever I get to see it, locked away in a tiny cupboard wearing ear-muffs and under some heavy coats.

You'd probably be well to do just that.

I just realized Serenity and Mirrormask open the same weekend here. Gosh, I guess I have plans, don't I?

I was getting all excited about getting tickets for the opening night of Serenity in September, then find out that the show I'm stage managing has a performance that evening.
Noooooooooooo!
I may enquire about midnight screenings...

I'm sure there will be midnights. *nod* Maybe at the Ziegfeld. FUN!

I just realized, Firefly had to deal with being on Friday nights in its original run. Now SciFi in the States brings it back and it's on......Fridays. Sometimes you just can't win...

What's the score with the comics, then? Anyone seen 'em yet?

I haven't, no, though they are out soon. (I think?) AFAIK, it's a serialization of the film so I'd be avoiding it anyway until after the release. No me spoiler.

Pardon me, I'm a latecomer. Partly because of this thread, I've recently acquired and watched the series for the first time. And of course I was blown away by it. I love the stories, the setting, and the characters. I'm so glad I got into it now - when there is the prospect of the film to fulfil my need for more Firefly - instead of watching the series as it aired, falling in love with it, and then seeing it cancelled.

Anyway, chalk me up as your latest convert. Good work!

You lucky bastard. *has agony flashback* Welcome to the club.

So....??? Favorite ep? Favorite quote? Favorite method of Wash's for flipping the three mystery switches any time Mal hits him with "Wash, get us out of here!"?

Wahey, excellent stuff. Welcome indeed to our rowdy gaggle of Browncoats. You're not wrong about the late arrivals syndrome, it does rather soften the blow, what with knowledge of film (and indeed a rumoured trilogy) to sweeten the deal. Glad I arrived late (as usual), too.

Ep: You can't ask me to choose so soon, surely. They're all so damn good. Off the top of my head, though, Bushwacked, Shindig, Safe, Ariel, Heart of Gold and Objects in Space stand out at the moment.

Quote:



Favorite method of Wash's for flipping the three mystery switches any time Mal hits him with "Wash, get us out of here!": Top left, top right, centre.

Classic! Expert form. *nod*

The whole of "Our Mrs. Reynolds" is a quoter's paradise, methinks.

Mal: "I ... didn't... marry you!"
Book: "I believe you did. Last night."
Mal: *whisper* - "How drunk was I last night?"
Jayne: "Hell I dunno, I passed out!"

And of course..

Mal: "I was poisoned!"
Inara: "You were drugged."
Jayne: "That's why I never kiss 'em on the mouth."
Everyone: *silence*

Which leads us to Heart of Gold.

Mal: I’m just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story…

GREAT callback. (I'm not a huge fan of "Heart of Gold" overall, I think it's okay....but that was dandy.) The big three "O"'s are my favorites ("Our Mrs. Reynolds," "Out of Gas" and "Objects in Space")

Any and all Zoe & Wash exchanges = Ace.

"Captain shouldn't be babysitting a damn groupie, and he knows it."
"Okay, when did this become not funny?!"

I'm getting mine next week. I've heard they're ok, not great just ok.



No spoilers. Apparently they're like a good teaser for the film. Tieing in any loose ends between the film and the shows.

my fav bits...
River's reaction to Book's hair is fried gold.

Zoe - " Books putting the hair away now River"
River - "It doesn't matter...it'll still be there....waiting"

Anything that comes out of Jaynes mouth makes me laugh... Or even just the way he sleeps all the way thru Objects in Space...

Mal: "Looks can be deceiving."
Jayne: "Not as deceiving as a lowdown, dirty... deceiver."
Mal: "Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?"
Zoe: "Had a kind of poetry to it, sir."

luvs nix

Yes! And Zoe's.

"Preacher! What the hell did you say to h...whoaaaaa!"

Hahahah yesss...
God I love that episode.

Mal: "So, that's where the little 'Jayne Day Celebration' we got planned comes in. Should give us enough time to get the goods back onto Serenity."
Jayne: "I don't know. You think we should be using my fame to hoodwink folks?"
Mal: "You better laugh when you say that."
Jayne: "No really, Mal, I mean, maybe there's something to this. The Mudders? I think I really made a difference in their lives. You know -- me, Jayne Cobb."
Mal: “I know your name, jackass!”


luvs nix

Wash: "Everything looks good from here... (beat...playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."
(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."
(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"
(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

Jayne: "Testing, testing. Captain, can you hear me?"
Mal: "I'm standing right here."
Jayne: "You're coming through good and loud."
Mal: " 'Cause I'm standing right here."

Mal: "And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?"

Kaylee: (pointing to a pink frilly dress) "Say, look at the fluffy one!"
Zoe: "Too much foofaraw. If I'm going to wear a dress, I'd want something with some slink."
Wash: "You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress?"
Jayne: "I'll chip in."
Zoe: (to Jayne) "I can hurt you."

Mal: "Sure. It would be humiliating. Having to lie there while the better man refuses to spill your blood. Mercy is the mark of a great man. (lightly stabs Atherton with the sword) Guess I'm just a good man. (stabs him again) Well, I'm all right."

Jayne: (mock reading Simon's journal) "Dear Diary...today I was pompous and my sister was crazy." (flips page) "Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever."

Book: "If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater."

Mal: "Are you offering me a trade?"
Jayne: "A trade!? Hell, it's theft. This is the best damn gun made by man. It has extreme sentimental value. It's miles more worthy than what you got."
Mal: "What I got? She has a name."
Jayne: "So does this!" (caresses the gun lovingly) "I call it Vera."
Mal: "Well, my days of taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle."

Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
Book: "Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps."

Wash: (to a jar with a cow fetus, mock-serious) "Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful race, and we must live in harmony..."

Mal: "Oh! That was bracing. They don't like it when you shoot at them. I worked that out myself."

Zoe: "No one's gonna force you to go, Jayne. As has been stated -- this job's strictly speculative."
Jayne: "Good. 'Cause I don't know these folks, don't much care to."
Mal: "They're whores."
Jayne: "I'm in."


Sorry it's so long. So many brilliant lines.

God I loved that last one..
Not forgetting...

"I'll be in my bunk"

hee hee

Oh, I should add that I am in love with Kaylee. All of the women are great, but Zoe and River are a bit too scary and Inara's too aloof. Kaylee is just lovely.

She's mine I tell you! Kaylee is mine!

I love Kaylee also... she's so cute and feminine, and lovely and sweet.
sigh.....

...is the correct answer, 10 points!

Ah, the boys sure do love little Kaylee I can see the appeal. Actually, Kaylee's probably the one I identify with the most.

But Zoe....yeah, Zoe's the one we wish we could be. Badassed, but vulnerable. Stands by her man. And her husband, too. Kidding. Love that moment in War Stories.

"This is not enough, I think. Not enough for two. But sufficient perhaps...for one. Ahhhh, you now have..."
*points at Wash* "Him. I'm sorry, you were going to ask me to choose, right? D'you want to finish?"

They were in my local Forbidden Planet at the weekend, there were stacks of them. 1st issue, 2 different covers. Didn't pick them up, but will probably go back and do so.

Hey guys the trailer is up!!!

This is very shiny new international trailer!!

Serenity

It's soooooooooooooooo much better than the other one!
However, warning....there are a few minor spoilers in it tho.

But fuck man! It sooo kix arse!!!!!!!
luvs nix

The trailer looks fab!

River kicks ASS!


I too am in love with Kaylee, and due to my age claim seniority.

Indeed. Waaaaaaheyyy!!!

(Side note: Why does *zzzzip!* "Let's be bad guys" make me groan audibly every time? Guh. "Jayyyyyne! The man they call Jayyyyyne!")

I also have to admit to being in love with kaylee, ashe is just so cool! And if more people keep professing their love of her it'll come to swords at dawn in the end.

Even though Kaylee is great, Wash has by far and away the best lines in the show, I don't know why but I just love the line from Jaynestown which goes:

''We should go to the crummy planet where I'm a hero''

It's just so well delivered. And his opening speech is just fantastic ''Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! ''

Alan Tudyk is a golden god.

Wash is ace. I love him!
I also love Alan Tudyk as Steve the pirate in Dodgeball. Man, is he funny. I also recently found out that he was teh robot in I, Robot. Do the man's talents have no end?

I don't believe so. Irritated that I didn't know he was going to replace Azaria in Spamalot, that would have been worth waiting for.

Maian - just before that line in "Jaynestown", watch the meerkat-like head move he does when the whole bar starts singing the chorus. LMAO - fried gold with peas and chips.

Double post, I apologize....BUT this is too brilliant not to share:

Florida-area newspaper plugging Sci-Fi Channel's re-airing of Firefly in the States, starting Friday. Great stuff - he pretty much says everything I wanted to say (and more) in my TV pick running tomorrow, but I only had 300 words to work with.
