Firefly Recap - Episode III: Bushwhacked 5/18/13

[Shorty]

Anytime a "let's watch this" thread gets made, it never gets followed through with because nobody can ever agree on a time that works for everyone and it sucks.

Who's down to do a recap of Firefly like how Game of Thrones is going? Watch the episodes as you can (once a week or something?) and discuss them and all the goodness of them as we go? Watch it at your own leisure so we don't have to bicker over times and trout, just come post in here to reminisce in the gloriousness of the best thing ever cancelled on tv when you're done with your episode.

Fourteen episodes, people, come on!

[Pike]

HELL YES

[Night Fury]

SHINY! :D

[Night Fury]

Also, as a rule, we should speak only browncoat in this here room.

[Chris]

firefly no

[Pheesh]

I'll do this. I haven't watched it in a couple years.

[krissy]

firefly is a good show

[Chris]

Obviously you have learned nothing! You can't take the sky from me, baby!

[Shorty]

I just wanted an excuse to use that in this thread!

This is starting on Saturday. Buy your copies, acquire your copies, borrow your copies!

[Jinx]

It's on Netflix, y'all!

Never watched this. This might give me a reason to.

[Rantz]

You better gorram believe I'm doing this.

[chionos]

This thread is excuse enough for me. I'm down.

Most tragic show cancellation of all time? Oh yes, yes indeed.

[Slothy]

I am all over this.

And I think it's time to ditch the gorram GoT sets folks. There's a new sheriff in town.

[Shorty]

You're Mal, Vivi. Locky has already named Rantz and I Zoe and Wash.

edit: ahaha chionos took Wash FINE I AM BUSTING OUT MY KAYLEE SET

[Slothy]

I thought the Captain was Mal since he's been Mal forever. Didn't seem right to take that from him.

[chionos]

You're Mal, Vivi. Locky has already named Rantz and I Zoe and Wash.

edit: ahaha chionos took Wash FINE I AM BUSTING OUT MY KAYLEE SET

Oops, didn't even think of that. Sorry, I wasn't even thinking. I'll find someone else. I just like Wash so much. :excited:

[Shorty]

No, stop it, silly! Keep him <3 You seriously couldn't have picked a better signature, haha.


I thought the Captain was Mal since he's been Mal forever. Didn't seem right to take that from him.

But The Captain is never around ;____________;

[Pheesh]

I don't really see myself having anything in common with any of the characters from the show. Plus, I can't be bothered making a new signature >.>

[Shorty]

That's fine, nerd.

[Pheesh]

You're the nerd :colbert:

[Shorty]

Everyone participating in this is a nerd :aimkiss:

[Pheesh]

Yes, but you are the queen of the nerds. Also, you have to be Jayne because of your last name, enjoy ^_^

[Shorty]

Joke's on you, Vivi already picked Jayne!

fuck it, I'm going to be Zoe. You and Tara need to be Kaylee and Simon.

[Pheesh]

But Vivi isn't even a Double Quarter Pound Corny McCobb with Cheese!! The whole recap is ruined! Y_Y

[Shorty]

NO I'M ZOE

I don't even remember how double quarter pounder got in there xD

[NorthernChaosGod]

I want to be Serenity.

[Pheesh]

For the last time, I refuse to ride you :colbert:

[chionos]

Julian, we don't need you in this thread. It's already sexy enough.

Go sexify some other thread, yo.

Also, Serenity is too badass for anyone at EoFF. Except me because I have to be something else super awesome since I shouldn't be Wash and all the cool ones are already taken and why do you have to come in here and steal my idea with your super perfect goat beard and your laissez-faire panty-dropping coolness.

[Shorty]

No, you can be Wash, we can be pretend married I'm sure Rantz won't mind ;-;

[chionos]

SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE JULIAN. YOU'VE MADE HER CRY.

It's all your damn fault.

[Shorty]

Who the shit is going to be my war buddy, I'd like to know :colbert:

[chionos]

If he really has to be someone, Julian should be Jayne. Or perhaps Inara.

[NorthernChaosGod]

You people can suck it then.

[Shorty]

Nah, Bubba was The Wall for GoT. Let Juliebird be Serenity.

[NorthernChaosGod]

<3

[chionos]

Fine I'll allow it.

Just know who's flying you, Julian. If I say Crazy Ivan, you say How Fast, got it?

[Shorty]

Just know who's flying riding you, Julian.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Don't make me accelerate enough to liquify you.

[chionos]

Just know who's flying riding you, Julian.

All of us. All of us are riding Julian.

[G13]

Not enough quotes being thrown around imo.

[chionos]

Not enough quotes being thrown around imo.

You bastard, I was saving that one!!!!!!!!!

I mean the one in your post-title.

[Shorty]

WHO'S GOING TO BE MR. UNIVERSE?!

[Laddy]

Fuck yes let's do this shit.

[chionos]

Laddy for Mr. Universe?

[NorthernChaosGod]

Just know who's flying riding you, Julian.

All of us. All of us are riding Julian.

My cockpit's big enough.

[chionos]

Well I hope it doesn't make you too uncomfortable when I make love to my wife inside you. We'll try to keep the noise to a minimum.

[Shorty]

(No, we won't.)

[Pheesh]

You're both sick.

[Shorty]

this is the best because I can actually see our characters saying all of these things

[chionos]

Ugh, don't you just hate doctors?




Present company excluded, of course.

[Rantz]

My role was sniped! A-and me wifey! :(

I wanna be River, then :colbert:

Edit: Dammit she's taken too!!

[chionos]

Be, Mal, man. Be my Captain. Then you can flirt with my wife and make the inside of Julian all sexually tense and whatnot.

[Pheesh]

I'm still hoping Tara just switches to Kaylee, so we can avoid some serious awkwardness >.>

[chionos]

XD

Awkward can be fun. Nobody's comfortable here. I mean, for fuck's sake, we're all riding around inside Julian's cock
pit and it's not nearly as roomy in here as he implied.

[Shorty]

Also, it's bumpy as all hell.

[Night Fury]

The noise had stirred her sleep, and for once it had been peaceful. No Reavers had etched inside of her brain and jumped out at her from all corners. She felt like a child with nightmares, never able to vocalise the pain she endured each night, whilst the others slept in their own bunks with dreams moderatley untouched by demonic faces and not being able to fight back because of the big chair that's strapped to your tensing muscles as you fear what's coming for you. The needle.

"Enough." She said as the voices that screamed, sang, yelled, spoke, and whispered got too much. She made her way forward to were her friends where. She plopped down into a squatting position, watching as some strange Mexican boy started peacocking his way around the Serenity - her home. At least for now. She knew it was only a matter of time until the Reavers or the Alliance caught up to this old boat, which quite frankly, was falling apart.

She sat in silence, only moving to drop her legs between the bars surrounding the ledge, she tried to push her head between them too, muttering "Too small, too big... too much silence and space in here.."

Then...

She licked the bar.

Her eyes darted around the room frantically in a cartoonish manner before she finally set her gaze upon Vivi22. He was wearing a a bloody stupid hat. She raised an arm between the bars and pointed a finger right him and spoke directly to him; "Jayne is a girls name." She then picked herself up and scampered off.

[Pike]

Dibs on Kaylee

[Night Fury]

(I wanted Pike to be Kaylee. I really did)

[chionos]

Pike, how are you at eating strawberries?

[Slothy]

Not enough quotes being thrown around imo.

Wo de ma he ta de feng kuang de wai sheng dou, I think you have a point.

[Aulayna]

Feel free to steel these Pike and I'll switch them once you have. Or I can change my username Pike and we can cause some confusion. :spin:

[chionos]

I know you're only teasing me, wife. I know you've never been with him with his pants off. I Know you wouldn't do that to me. I mean, really, I've been with him with his pants off, but it's different when guys are naked together.

[Rantz]

Well, it's different sometimes.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

This is fantastic. :kakapo:

[Pike]

Feel free to steel these Pike and I'll switch them once you have. Or I can change my username Pike and we can cause some confusion. :spin:

Nah, since you've already claimed her go ahead and keep them! xD

[Pheesh]

You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I - I re-attatched a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

[Aulayna]

Feel free to steel these Pike and I'll switch them once you have. Or I can change my username Pike and we can cause some confusion. :spin:

Nah, since you've already claimed her go ahead and keep them! xD

Pssh you claimed her first. I did all of this after your post so! I'll just go back to my old Whedonesque related set. :) (sure it's not Firefly but still!)

This is all really just a cunning ploy to get you to change your set.

I'm too lazy though. Besides, next I'm doing Vault Boy from Fallout.

[Raistlin]

I approve of this whole-heartedly. I would give myself a Shepherd Book theme, but I'm too lazy right now.

[Slothy]

I'm not much for religion unless Book is involved. That man is a complete badass.

[fire_of_avalon]

You sonsabitches didn't invite me and now I'm gonna pout.

[Slothy]

She made a thread. What more to you gorram want?

[Pike]

I own the Jayne hat.

It is my favorite hat.

[fire_of_avalon]

It's about time someone knew what I was saying.

[Shorty]

foaface, I will straight up mail you an invitation. I'll do it.

[Night Fury]

Foa for Inara imo.

Yes.

And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Nice to see someone from the old homestead.

[Night Fury]

Not really. Call me if anyone interesting shows up.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I just watched the first episode, because I had to. Duh.

I just want to say that I am always amazed at how well Firefly is set up. The way everything is introduced in the first episode, and how there are little things that you don't really notice watching the first time around and you go back and watch and are like, hey, I recognize that!.
Like the Blue Sun poster behind Mal on Persephone. And the way Jayne deals with the fed. And reavers. And the subtle hints on the crews relationships with each other and how they end up playing out.

I <3 Firefly.

[Jinx]

I'm probably gonna write down my responses while I watch the first episode, so you oldbies can all laugh at me.

[Pike]

Wait, have you never seen it?

[Jinx]

Wait, have you never seen it?

I have not.

[Pike]

Whoa, I thought everyone had seen it.

You'll like it :)

[Jinx]

Whoa, I thought everyone had seen it.

You'll like it :)

I dunno. I'm not really sold on the whole quasi-Western theme, as I hate Westerns with a passion.

[Pike]

Yeah but that's what everyone says and then they watch Firefly.

[Madame Adequate]

Okay first Westerns are awesome but second Firefly is an amazing show. Remember how Arrested Development was treated badly by Fox and cut short but everyone who ever watches it loves it? Same deal here.

[Jinx]

I'm just saying. I'm not 100% sold it's MY THING, but I'm open-minded enough about it to give it a shot.

[fire_of_avalon]

I can find a western you'll like, Sam.

[Jinx]

I can find a western you'll like, Sam.

Nope.

[Jinx]

oh hey, it's that chick from ncis



i really wish i knew what was going on right now

Apparenlty they still have hot glue guns in the future

Omg, I love a redhead

I like the music though

OH SO THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED FIREFLY COS ITS BUTT LIGHTS UP

summer glau, you are really weird looking

I DON'T SPEAK CHINESE, WHY IS THIS NOT BEING SUBTITLED?

"as i understand it, it's pretty cold outside." well, yeah. and there's no oxygen. good job, book!



oh, that'll shut her up. finally someone knows how to put a cork in kaylee.
or not, even with a bullet to the gut she can't stop being stupid "did you just ask me to dance?"
goddammit with this smurfing Chinese already


I'm digging the show so far.

[Rantz]

Kaylee and Jayne are darlings. You have much to learn.

[Jinx]

Kaylee is incredibly annoying. I understand I'm only halfway through the first episode, but so far, she's unbearable. She has a fucking teddy bear on her pants. Come on.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Everyone on the show is awesome, Boobs. :colbert:

[Jinx]

Not so far.

[Madame Adequate]

Kaylee is incredibly annoying. I understand I'm only halfway through the first episode, but so far, she's unbearable. She has a fucking teddy bear on her pants. Come on.

Nobody has ever been this wrong in the history of this forum. And you know how I feel about how wrong people on this forum are.

[Jinx]

I've yet to see anything about her that's likeable.

[Pike]

Sam is to TV characters what Chris is to food :colbert: :doublecolbert: :triplecolbert: :quadruplecolbert:

[Madame Adequate]

how about everything

every single aspect of her character is perfect. she is the best character on tv. literally the ur-example of How To Write And Cast A Good Character.

[Jinx]

I think her actress is good.

But MILF, again. I'm 45 minutes into the series. I know I might like her later, but right now she's very, very annoying.

[Madame Adequate]

45 seconds after her first appearance any remotely sane person was in love. :colbert:

[Jinx]

...because she turns off some lights?

Dude, I'm not even disagreeing with you that she's a great character. I've said repeatedly that I don't know, as I'm hardly a fraction into the series, and what I've seen so far hasn't impressed me. I think her acting is great; I'm not criticizing that at all. So please, I'd appreciate it if you laid of the insults, thanks.

[Slothy]

What insults?

[Jinx]

How wrong and/or crazy I am?

I've already stated that I'm open-minded enough about her character to acknowledge that she might be very awesome later on, especially if she does something memorable.

[Slothy]

Even if he weren't joking, stating someone is wrong or using a bit of sanity based hyperbole aren't really what I'd call insults.

[Jinx]

Even if he weren't joking, stating someone is wrong or using a bit of sanity based hyperbole aren't really what I'd call insults.

I know you don't.


Anyways, back on subject (well, general subject):

Can someone please explain to me all the Chinese going on in this show? Is there some big reveal later, and I need to calm my horses, or...? I'm seriously confused.

Why the use Chinese or what they're saying? Because they curse in Chinese, so I don't think it would add a whole lot to know exactly what they're saying. It is funny as hell though. :p

[Jinx]

Why they say them. I assume that if they said something particularly important in Chinese, it'd be subtitled.

[Shorty]

are you guying smurfing kidding me? watch it with the rest of the group or get the smurf out of this thread. I'm dead serious. we're in this together, I don't give a smurf if you've seen it or not. NO MORE DISCUSSION ON THE EPISODES UNTIL IT smurfING STARTS ON SATURDAY.


This is starting on Saturday. Buy your copies, acquire your copies, borrow your copies!

asses, jesus christ almighty

edit: I guess I should clarify in case people have misunderstood. I thought we could do this like Game of Thrones where we do one episode a week and come here to talk about it. If you can't do it on the day chosen (Saturday) then watch it when you can (but don't jump ahead of everyone).

[NorthernChaosGod]

Chinese and American society mixed into one culture, basically. Taken from IMDB: "The Alliance's full title is the "Anglo-Sino Alliance." Joss Whedon intended for it to be the merger of the USA and China, the last of the world's superpowers. That's why many characters sometimes speak Chinese. The Alliance flag, seen in the original pilot, is a blending of the US and Chinese flags."

Also, don't actually read that article I linked, it has some spoilers.

[Slothy]

we're in this together

When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that...

[Jinx]

I'm still not 100% on everyone's name. (I think I know most of them, though). The pilot...Wash? What else has he been in? I know I've seen him in stuff before.

He's really cute.

[Night Fury]

There is not one character in Firefly that I don't like.

[Shorty]

That's because they are all likeable.

Everyone will speak Chinese in the future because China will own everyone and everything.

[Night Fury]

Even the bad guys though. They may be asses but they're relevant and GOOD villains. I kinda hate Saffron actually, but then, I'm meant too.

[Aulayna]

Off the top of my head he was in Dollhouse.

Also I swear you take it upon yourself to dislike any character I like :p

[Shorty]

Even the bad guys though. They may be asses but they're relevant and GOOD villains. I kinda hate Saffron actually, but then, I'm meant too.

Saffron is the worst but yeah, you're meant to not like her.

[Madame Adequate]

I like Saffron :colbert:


That's because they are all likeable.

Everyone will speak Chinese in the future because China will own everyone and everything.

Yeah they said that about the Japanese back in the 80s, look how that turned out :p

And I'll say the same to Sam as I do to anyone else: If you don't want me to point out how wrong you are, stop being wrong. :zombert:

[Shorty]

I don't know why you're trying to correct me, I didn't write that business into the show. That's the only reason I can imagine Whedon on doing it the way he did.

[Aulayna]

Why is this locked?

[Shorty]

It's possible that I accidentally locked it because I'm on my phone and ads keep popping up so I have to click around everywhere.

[Flying Mullet]

Yeah, blame the phone...

[Chris]

sarah i can understand why you would want to close a thread about firefly - i mean the producers closed the series so it's kinda like a snowball effect

[Shorty]

:aimmad:

[Flying Mullet]

Oh god, does this mean a forum that has a closed thread about the closed series Firefly will be closed next?

[Night Fury]

... Whatever can be closed can be opened.


Like potatoes.

[Chris]

firefly will NOT be revived sry

[Flying Mullet]

How do you open a potato?

[Shorty]

it was an accident, guys ;-;

[Night Fury]

How do you open a potato?

With a knife.

[Jinx]

Aw, Shorty, it was a silly cute accident. <3

Chris, why don't you like this show? I'm about to start the third episode, and it's totally awesome.

[Slothy]

it was an accident, guys ;-;

What we need's a diversion. I say Zoë gets nekked.

[Jinx]

it was an accident, guys ;-;

What we need's a diversion. I say Zoë gets nekked.

I second this, because Zoe is foooooine. Like, hands down the most beautiful woman on that show, my god.

[Shorty]

Isn't she gorgeous ;-;

In response to the nekkidness, my husband has dinosaurs, and he is not afraid to use them.

[Jinx]

Baby, you can do anything you want to me.

[Shorty]

:flirt:

[Slothy]

I could get nekked.

[Flying Mullet]

it was an accident, guys ;-;
I saw your original post where you threatened to close the thread if people kept talking about the episodes before Saturday... :shifty:

Hey guys. Guys. Listen to my wife guys. Or don't, because you know, when she's mad, let's just say mad and naked go together like chocolate and strawberries.


I'm still not 100% on everyone's name. (I think I know most of them, though). The pilot...Wash? What else has he been in? I know I've seen him in stuff before.

He's really cute.

I'm currently in the show Suburgatory, a show you should watch 100% because I'm in it. I play a shallow suburban dentist and I'm hilarious. You might also be remembering me from A Knight's Tale, or Death at a Funeral, or 3:10 to Yuma. I'm pretty well rounded really. That's why Zoe loves me. That or the fact that I'm as good at piloting dat ass as I am at driving Serenity. I treat both my girls just right.

[Shorty]

I could get nekked.

Nobody wants to see that, Cobb.



it was an accident, guys ;-;
I saw your original post where you threatened to close the thread if people kept talking about the episodes before Saturday... :shifty:

I didn't threaten to close, I just yelled ;-;

Husband, you're also in Tucker and Dale!

[Night Fury]

I could get nekked.

If you do this I'll put you in the airlock. And then I'll kill you with my brain.

[Jinx]

Okay, so, since this is my first time I've decided to go ahead and watch the whole series. Then I'll watch with everyone starting Saturday.

I keep watching Kaylee (who is growing on me a lot, btw) behaviour towards Simon. Girls wants the D.

[chionos]

Husband, you're also in Tucker and Dale!

Aye, wife, but I don't want to be a showoff.

[Shorty]

Sure doesn't sound like my husband.

[Jinx]

I don't get to play along and have fun. :(

[Shorty]

dude just wait to watch it with everyone else!

[Jinx]

YOU ALL HAVE ALREADY SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT????????

I more just meant that no characters left xD

[Shorty]

CAUSE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS AS A FAMILY WATCHING TOGETHER and you'll have all magic spoilt by having just watched it :(

there's saffron rofl

[Night Fury]

It's not about 'playing along'. We're Browncoats. We love and worship this show with everything that's in our hearts, every bit of us that wants to be part of the Serenity, every bit of us that aims to misbehave, every bit of us that wants to be bad guys.

Watch the whole show. Watch it again. Worship it, feel every bit of it, cry, laugh, cry some more. THEN maybe you'll be ready to play along.

[Shorty]

It's cool, do it if you want.

also, I vote that we watch Serenity after. Can I get a yes/yes?

[Jinx]

That's what I plan on doing: finishing up the series, then watching it again with you guys.

IT DOESN'T COUNT AS FAMILY, THOUGH, COS YOU ALREADY WATCHED IT WITHOUT ME, SHORTY

(also: you just made me think of juggalos, so boo)

[Shorty]

What did, the family reference?

[Night Fury]

Firefly references for the win.

Nathan's face in this last pic.

42822

[Jinx]

Yeah, cos you know they like chat FAM-I-LY, FAM-I-LY.

I'd be so honored if you were my family, though, Ms. Cobb. :flirt:

Also, I legitimately hate Jayne.

[Slothy]

:(

[Shorty]

JAYNE IS A HERO AND YOU WILL RESPECT HIM AS SUCH

[Night Fury]

Jayne is actually, probably, most definitely my favourite character.

Adam Baldwin maaaan.

[Shorty]

Mal is my favorite character. O Captain, my Captain.

I have to geek out with Browncoat stuff, courtesy of tumblr.

[Jinx]

He's such a dick to everyone.

[Slothy]

JAYNE IS A HERO AND YOU WILL RESPECT HIM AS SUCH

Jayne!
The Man they call Jayne!
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor,
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now, aint hard to explain,
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!

Our Jayne saw the Mudders' backs breakin'
He saw the Mudders lament
And he saw that magistrate takin'
Every dollar and leavin' five cents
So he said, "You can't do that to my people"

"You can't crush them under your heel"
Jayne strapped on his hat
And in five seconds flat
Stole everything Boss Higgins had to steal

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne

Now here is what separates heroes
From common folk like you and I
The man they call Jayne
He turned 'round his plane
And let that money hit sky
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards
And the man they call Jayne
He turned round his plane
And headed out for the stars

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor
Stood up to the Man and he gave him what for
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain
The Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!

[Night Fury]

But he's soooo funny. And he's gorgeous. And his interactions with River are brilliant.

Man, they're so my fav non-canon ship. Rivayne.

[chionos]

What about the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl?

[Shorty]

That part is amazing.

[Slothy]

Man, they're so my fav non-canon ship. Rivayne.

:onoes:

And also, one of the most famous lines in Firefly.

But he's soooo funny. And he's gorgeous. And his interactions with River are brilliant.

I'd say he's average looking at best.


Damn, River. Like, despite looking like an ugly skeleton alien thing, you are the most interesting character on this show. But get your shit together, girl.

[Night Fury]

Man, they're so my fav non-canon ship. Rivayne.

I confessed. I'm now going to bombard you with all of my RiverxJayne fantasies.

(someone make me a set)

[Jinx]

She's got a killer body, I'll give her that. But a nice body does not a great beauty make. She's uuuuugly.

[Night Fury]

Summer is one of the most adorable, and perfect women to ever exist. She's up there with Yvonne Strahovski.

Well considering the level of controversy Sam is bringing to what started out as a bit of a circlejerk (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/circle-jerk) (of the SFW kind) I think we've definitely found a Saffron.

[Jinx]

I just don't see it.

Keep in mind that attractiveness can be subjective.

You think Jayne is gorgeous, I think any man with a goatee is gross. You think Summer is pretty, I think she's really ugly. (To be fair, she's not *as* bad when she looks normal, but at least as River Tam she is.)

[Slothy]

In honor of being Jayne for this event, I'm going to shave my beard into an actual goatee and make myself less attractive in the eyes of TB.

[Shorty]

can we all just fucking agree that Sean Maher is the most attractive man in the world

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080308044031/firefly/images/6/63/Simon2.jpg






sorry you had to find out about it this way, husband

[Night Fury]

But you'll be more attractive to me, and if it's possible I'll love you even more than I do now for purely being Jayne, and for being awesome :heart:

Seanikins is a babe, but alas he is of the gay variety. He came out last year (or it may have been the year before) so us ladies can just DREAM ON.

He looks too Norman Bates-esque in that photo though!

[Jinx]

Sean's pretty fine.

Also, that spaceship definitely looks like a penis, and it definitely looks like Summer is about to fellate it.

ALSO ALSO I HAVE YET TO MEET SAFFRON BUT I JUST GOOGLED HER AND SHE IS PLAYED BY CHRISTINA HENDRICKS? CHRISTINA HENDRICKS IS ONE OF THE MOST GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ON THIS PLANET AND IS THE EPITOME OF FEMALE PERFECTION. BEING COMPARED TO HER IN ANY WAY IS SUCH A COMPLIMENT AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL SAFFRON IS A RIGHT :bou::bou::bou::bou: AND Y'ALL KNOW THAT'S ME, GUYS.

omg

[chionos]

Wife. :cry:

[Night Fury]

He is the epitome of handsome gentleman.
Mal is Rogueish
Jayne is hunky, masculine DAMN LET ME RIDE YOU.
Wash is the cutie.
Book is the Grandaddy

[Shorty]

Don't worry, husband. I married you and I aim to keep it that way.

I'm fucking there.

[Aulayna]

So the perennial fan dividing question. Bringing conflict in where conflict is avoided.

Which was better?

The TV Show or the Movie.

(neither/both or any other fence sitting answers are unacceptable. This is a wooden fence, full of splinters, do you want splinters up yer buttocks?)

[Shorty]

Show. SHOW.

[chionos]

Since the wife has made this confessional time...

Sorry you had to find out this way, wife, but nngggg that red hair. yummmmz
Better even than wife soup.

[Aulayna]

I should also clarify that there's only one right answer too.

The Show

[Night Fury]

I have a huge splinter up my ass. I love the show because well, it's longer, it's paced out.

But the film, the film was a celebration of Firefly - it was Joss's way of saying thanks, and his way of saying goodbye to it when he never thought he'd get that chance.

[Jinx]

Especially the part where I'm a :bou::bou::bou::bou:, right?

Also, I think Jayne would be fairly attractive if he didn't have that damn goatee. Beards are fine. Moustaches can be hot on the right guy. But goatees look good on absolutely no one.

You'd best think twice before bringing the wife soup into this!

also smurf THIS THREAD GIVEN OUT TOO MUCH GORRAMN REP IN THE PAST TWENTY FOUR HOURS

I'll reiterate the show because there are certain events that transpired in the film that I still have yet to get over even after all these years.

[Aulayna]

I'm still yet to figure out what that masked word behind the sprites is.

[Jinx]

So was like, gorramn their way of getting around the god damn filter for tv, or...?

It's the c-word, Auly.

[Night Fury]

see you next tuesday, Auly.

[chionos]

also smurf THIS THREAD GIVEN OUT TOO MUCH GORRAMN REP IN THE PAST TWENTY FOUR HOURS

Normally I'd agree, but I can't get rep anywhere else so...

[Aulayna]

see you next tuesday, Auly.

Oh right so the number of sprites = the number of letters... I geddit!

[Jinx]

The theme song kind of reminds me of Sons of Anarchy's theme song.

[Pheesh]

3 pages... I go to bed, wake up and there is 3 new fucking pages, you maniacs!?!

(I love that even if I'm serious when I'm hypercritical it still sounds like I'm kinda in character ^_^)

Also, the people that jumped ahead to watch the show are laaaaame.

[Shorty]

You are so Simon.

*catalyzer on the port compression coil blows*

I'm the only person who is watching them, but I'm also the only person who hadn't seen the whole series. And it's really not very enjoyable to have people quoting episodes and talking about things I would not have seen for several weeks.

[Rantz]

Book is the Grandaddy

He never married.

[Shorty]

my rep, take all of my rep that I can't give ;______________;

[Jinx]

Y'all notice that Mal is currently in Westeros?

That'd make for one hell of a cross-over, guys.

What do you mean "currently"? He's on Serenity, damnit.

No. Unlike him, I decide to pursue and finish this particular media, instead of bitching about how there might be spoilers. He's too lazy to read the damn books, I decided to watch the show without complaining. At least not about the complaint that someone might spoil things for me.

[Rantz]

I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. :shifty:

To make myself feel like a big damn hero this morning I have blasted some Firefly tunes.

I expect to see pictures of this hat and you wearing it. :bigsmile:

I need to get back into character too. Being River and saying River things is the funnest of all fun things.

[Slothy]

She's cute, too. Except I don't think she's all there, you know? 'Course, not all of her has to be.

Oh, husband. You know he could never handle me.

[Night Fury]

Two by two, hands of blue.

[Shorty]

One of the things I love so fucking much about Joss Whedon is that he makes space scenes silent. There is no fucking sound in outer space. #doingitright

[Slothy]

Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

One of the things I love so smurfing much about Joss Whedon is that he makes space scenes silent. There is no smurfing sound in outer space. #doingitright

He also doesn't make the ships constantly accelerate. It isn't earth, where the engine needs to be turning the wheels the whole time. Once the ship is up to speed acceleration can stop and it should continue at that speed and direction until acted upon by outside force. Eff yeah.

So, did anyone else watch the first episode?

[Slothy]

I need to sit down and watch it tomorrow.

[Calliope]

Yesterday I watched the entire season for the first time. Maybe tomorrow I'll watch the movie. I particularly enjoyed the Hero of Canton episode, but I also kept waiting for River to unleash some sort of amazing superpower during the series (like ________, hah).

lolz:

Book: Captain, you mind if I say grace?
Mal: Only if you say it out loud.

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.

[Shorty]

The entire season! Does that mean you're not going to do the weekly recap with us ;________________________

[chionos]

It's totally reasonable for people who haven't watched the show before to watch the whole thing first then re-watch them one by one with the rest of us. It's only fair really. We can be very intimidating. Er, well, you can. be. int..i..m.i

No, I'm not scared of my wife. It's just respect. Have you even seen a warrior woman? Have you?

[Slothy]

I was gonna git me an ear too!

[Calliope]

What episode are you guys on now?

[Aulayna]

http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18n5g1m775xrvjpg/original.jpg

Just gonna leave this here.

Nathan is a God amongst men.

[Shorty]

We'll be starting episode two this Saturday!

[Del Murder]

Miriel and I just did a Firefly recap otherwise we'd be so down for this. Maybe once you get to Serenity we can participate since we didn't rewatch the movie yet.

If I were to be any character in the show it would probably be Wash. My sarcastic 'just along for the ride' attitude fits perfectly with him.

[Shorty]

I'd like to watch Serenity after it's all over, yes!

[NorthernChaosGod]

Wait, we started? Fuck.

I don't have a Serenity set. :(

[Night Fury]

Do you have NetFlix?

[NorthernChaosGod]

If you're talking to me, yes I do. But I also have the whole series and the movie downloaded from years ago. I was also talking about an avatar and signature of the ship. :p

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

We definitely have to watch Serenity after we finish the season. HAVE TO.
