Decided to sit down and finally watch the episode with 1812, because seeing Serenity put me in a sci-fi kind of mood, and god, I remember now why I love this show so much XD;

Rygel: "When a woman, whether it's your wife, your lover, or a slave you purchased to be your wife or lover[...]"

Also, on Serenity (no spoilers, don't worry) - nice little sci-fi flick, although I think if I had been a fan of the tv show I'd have been a bit disappointed - it kind of smacked of the Farscape mini-series.

On an entirely unrelated note, the BPAL fall swap has begun, and I totally <3 the person I got. Huge geek! Yaaaay! (If the person who has me is reading this, uh, I forgot to mention on the questionaire what a great huge geek I am...science, video games, anime, manga, RP...I am totally there XD)

Ahh, I get that - the Farscape thing. I don't think Serenity was to get the fans to shut up at all, though; more like, Joss was going somewhere with Firefly, but it was cancelled before he had a chance to finish it. It wasn't even like Angel where he had time to wrap up all the plotlines really really quickly; they were filming The Message when they found it it was being cancelled, and that was it. And then Universal gave Joss a chance to finish the story he was trying to tell. So that was the feeling - from the series, it just stopped, there was no closure. Serenity was closure.

Well, I think part of it is that I know you and I had differing opinions on the end of Farscape - you liked it, and I was kind of like 'What? They just _left_ it there?'.

And I never watched Angel, because I wanted to throttle him in Buffy >.o

XD You needn't bother watching Angel, then; all the good points in it turned out to just be a warm up for what he did in Firefly - wes and Fred as proto-Simon and River, and that whole a-world-without-conflict-doesn't-work theme. Although Angel did have Dru and Spike sometimes, that was a plus.

I don't think Dru and Spike would outweigh me wanted to kill Angel, unfortunately - he really drove me up the wall. I will give Serenity this - it made me kind of want to check out the tv show. Which apparently is on the Sci-fi channel now.
