Firefly - Love it!

Yeah, this is teen-level stuff, 13 and over, because it's fairly violent.

Yeah, it's pretty intense and scary in spots.

It bothered the hell out of me in a couple places, and I'm over 40!

Ok. So maybe see if the wife wants to watch it with me instead. Thanks, y'all!

Right, I mean it has cannibals, torture, the companion has an anti-rape drug that will KILL folk, lots of shootin', etc etc.

Ha!

...hopefully everyone knew I was talking about Rebels...

That makes so much more sense! I was so very confused. Sadly I can't help you with that question.

I thought the chem Inora had was supposed to be a Bene Gesserit style ass-kicking stimulant?

I seem to remember a number of pretty violent deaths with swords. I'd wait a year or two.

Nope, I believe it was confirmed that later in the series -- had there been a later -- there was gonna be a scene wherein she was to be kidnapped with an attempted rape by her kidnappers. Later Mal would find her in a room with a bunch of dead men.

Haha. I misunderstood the question. Makes more sense now.

Soooo....Guess I'll just ask that question in the Rebels thread instead.

Hah, nope! When you said "this show" I thought you meant Firefly!

Well, the slow executions were high on the list, too.

So she had a shot to become Poison Ivy, deadly to the touch... and Joss was going to have that scene... man, the more I find out about his original extended plans the happier I am this show got canceled in a perfect state.

I'm with you there. I don't even really like the last disc of the DVD set. I find the villains on it kind of... thin. Like they were basically just empty suits held up with coat hangers, in contrast the other characters on the show.

We must always remember the lesson of Quantum Leap; Let the show go out with dignity, without the taint of the evil leaper. (shudder)

Yeah, I'm kind of glad that didn't happen.

A small, but important change. I could see that making Inara a much darker character.

Barnes and Noble is selling these. At least I saw the Zoe one on sale.

Also on Amazon.

Edit: Whoops! Thought this was post a picture. Carry on!

Dee, those are wonderful. Kaylee's line is one of my all time favorites.

"Oh god! I can't know that!"

#FireflyInFiveWords is trending on twitter today because... I dunno, it's Monday? Browncoats everywhere.

There was a music festival with the same name :/ They started it the 5 word social media thing without investigating what else it might talk about I guess.

Hah. That's like the one time #ThingsThatSuckMoreThanUKFootball was trending. Pretty sure it was UK Soccer fans mad at their team, but Louisville american football fans took it over and started trashing Kentucky, their rivals.

Waiting for the selective memory wipe machine, so I can watch the season over again.

Actually, on that topic.

How can one enjoy watching it over again?

ie. I watch CG animation shows for my kids over and over by looking at the quality of the materials, the animation, or hunting for easter eggs.

Is there something that I can search for in Firefly on the second pass that isn't really pedantic, and will help me enjoy the second pass?

Try to learn the half Chinese language they use on occasion

Yeah learn Chinese, especially all the swear words they use.

Watch it with someone who has never seen it.
