Firefly Observations

[desoto_hia873]

Just a quickie as I reeeally need to get to bed:

Been watching Firefly again as a warm-up to the Big Damn Movie later this week (obligatory squeeee!). In Ariel, Jayne really was wearing a Blue Sun t-shirt when River slashed him with the knife - I didn't see that the first time around. And - same episode - when Wash and Kaylee are digging in the dump to get the parts they need for the 'ambulance', it looks like Wash picks up a coil compressor, shakes some sand out of it, and then hurls it away. Which, if that is in fact what it was, is a neat reference to the previous episode, Out of Gas.

Mal was my favourite character the first time through, but I must say that Jayne is giving him some competition this time. He just cracks me up. I'll get to see Adam Baldwin at SFX; I'm crossing my fingers that Nathan shows up at the screening on Thursday.

Oh yes - I'm turning Jim into a flan. Brought my DVDs down to Peterborough this weekend and we watched Serenity and The Train Job. Then he asked me to leave a couple of the DVDs behind so he could watch more eps before the BDM. :-)

You're turning Jim into an open-topped tart with a filling of custard, fruit, or cheese?

Hee! That does sound funny - I hadn't thought of it that way. Firefly fans really do call themselves flans. I'm expecting to see people in costume at the screening ('cause that's what all good nerds do, right?), but I'll bet no one shows up as an actual flan. :-)

A friend had a somewhat laboured plan to turn up to the 'Attack of the Clones' opening in outsized shoes and garish clothes with a painted face, red nose and frightwig, and stack of custard pies, but concluded no one would get it.

Hee! That took me a few seconds too.

I turned my husband into a flan, too. We'd sit and watch and he'd shriek every few episodes, "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED THIS SHOW!"

Hee.

I'm in definite agreement with your husband. I admit I didn't watch it when it aired - I saw one episode but wasn't sure what was going on, so I gave up on it.

Kristina: *pleading* Forgive me Joss! I weak and unworthy and vaguely resentful that BtVS and AtS weren't getting your full attention. But I'll never do it again - my faith has been restored. I'm shamed that I doubted you!

Joss: *closes airlock*

So let's hear a resounding cheer of "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CANCELLED THIS SHOW!".

I don't care, there's DVD
You can't take my show from me...

Big Damn Movie later this week

Weep.

I'm pretty sure that the Canadian Browncoats will continue pushing for more Canadian cities in the next round of screenings (assuming there is a next round). And maybe the release date will be moved up. Don't lose hope!

At the American screenings, they've apparently been handing out placards and key chains. I'll see if I can score one for you. :-)

I showed my husband the pilot, and for two weeks he'd look at me with puppy dog eyes and ask for some more. He's never shown any particular interest in SF. When we finished he asked "Are there commentaries?" I don't know that he's ever been interested in commentary tracks.

You can meet him at the screening. :)

Hee! I started seeing Jim last summer. I figured I'd better get him used to the Buffy fandom idea from the start, so we watched Welcome to the Hellmouth that first weekend. Ever since, he's asked to watch more episodes whenever he comes to Ottawa - if we don't get three or four in, he's disappointed.

Spreading the word of Joss. It's my mission from God. :-)

See you in four days...and congrats in making another flan! Can't wait to meet the two of you!

Four days! Squeeee!
