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)

I can see where the prick thing comes from, just from the movie - well, he took care of River; but his personality during the breakout scene was kinda, whoa, is there a reason Simon was keeping his mad action hero skills a secret throughout the series? You look at Jaynestown, where he wasn't a good enough actor to convincingly buy mud, and then you look at the guy who can come off as a stone cold government agent while he's looking at his mentally scarred sister. I still liked him, but he seemd a lot colder and confrontational in the movie, which could be where the prick thing comes in. ...granted he was confrontational in the series too, but there was a different vibe to it.

Yeah, in the interview, he did say that the one thing they really tweaked was the break-out, which Simon was never really a big part of originally. ::shrug:: It didn't bother me, but I suppose some people could have disliked him in the movie. It's hard be objective, those of us that "get" Simon because we knew him in the series.

But in Serenity (the pilot), he totally showed off some of his mad acting skills. He was super stuck up when he first boarded the ship, so I can see him pulling off a member of the military. Of course, as you watch the pilot and TV series progress, I think he looses confidence as he becomes more and more shocked by his surroundings, truly becoming a fish out of water with every weird and dangerous thing that happens.

And yeah, the vibes were a little different. He would have never hit Mal first in the series. Too barbarian...not to mention that oath he took there....:)
