changeyourstars8Chris and I stayed up until 1:30 last night, and then watched another episode this morning-- Heart of Gold. One episode left, and then the movie, and . . . tell me there are novelizations or something, because I really don't think everything's going to get wrapped up in three hours.
Who exactly canceled this show, so I can go kick his/her butt?
And since we watched so many episodes, this is basically going to be a huge jumble. . .
Saffron is awesome in her complete sociopathicness. I loved Inara showing her up at the end of her second episode, too. :-)
But as for her first episode-- here's Chris's reaction to the end of it:
Mal: "I knew you let her kiss you!"
Chris: "You dumbass."
Which is now Chris's new nickname for Mal. Repeated often, especially after he slept with Nandi and made Inara cry. And now Inara's saying that she's leaving and Mal had better do some massive groveling pronto and do they at least get this resolved? If they don't, then Simon and Kaylee had better end up together. Yes, I'm a sap and I don't care.
Speaking of Saffron-- Kath, am I the only one who was really reminded of Onnoree? In appearance, if not character personality? lol
"Yes sir, Captain Tightpants." -- Now I get it. Hee
What is going on with Shepherd? My guess is that he was a military hero of some sort on the side of the Alliance during the war. Saw/did some things he didn't like, and left altogether to become a Shepherd. That'd explain why he was immediately let on board the Alliance ship, and why he wouldn't answer Mal's questions when asked, and why he seems to know a lot about weaponry. . . (I'm probably a million miles off base, but oh well)
The opening theme is growing on me. :-) And I still want Inara's wardrobe.
"Somewhat less attractive now that she's corpsified. . ." "Were I unwed, I would take you in a manly fashion." "Captain, can I have some money for a slinky dress?" How do I love thee, let me count the ways. lol I really can't pick a favorite character, but if I absolutely had to, Wash'd be in the top three at least.
I'm kindof sorry that we don't get to see the guy who came up and zapped the woman who was insulting Kaylee in Shindig again, because that guy was great. I was hoping someone'd come tear a strip off her. If someone insults one of the other characters, I don't mind quite so much because they're more than ready to handle it, but someone going after Kaylee is like watching somebody kick a kitten.
"Also? I can kill you with my brain." Go. River. :-D
The swordfight between Mal and the Rich Jerk was great. And I love that if a client's a moron, he's the one who pays for it, not the companion. Heck of a lot better than the system we have, but that's a topic for another post. . .
Chris says he wants to see River zap some more people, because he loved the part where she shot the three guys without even looking in War Stories.
"I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you." I have no idea where or how, but I am using that line.
"A level they reserve for child molesters, and people who talk at the theater." ::hugs Shepherd::
The flashback with Zoe and Wash? Now I know where J.J. Abrams got his thing for bad flashback hair. So, so glad that Wash lost the mustache. Aie. Oooh, you know what? Whedon and Abrams need to team up for something. The OMGWTF levels would be off the charts. They can team up for a second season of Firefly. Mmmm-hm. (Hush, leave me my daydreams)
I was actually liking Jayne. Then I got irritated at him in Our Mrs. Reynolds when he tried to trade a human being for a gun. But I decided to let that one slide, provided he didn't do anything else too disgusting. Jaynestown was awesome (the song!), and he was funny and still more than slightly dense but still cool . . . and then came Ariel. A little part of me was expecting him to get sucked out into space (though at heart I knew that wouldn't happen, because Mal actually understands the concept of loyalty, unlike a certain other person who he was talking to at the time) and at the moment I wouldn't have cared. He's going to have to do something seriously 'big damn hero'ish to make up for that crap. (though I adored Simon and River's response to it)
When River was going through the Bible with a red ink pen, Chris chuckled and said, "Now she really reminds me of you."
Out of Gas was so, so, so creepy. I loved it, after it was over-- while it was on I was freaking out too much. "He did push the red button as soon as he saw the ship come into sight, didn't he? Didn't he?!?!"
When Zoe is busy kicking ass on Niska's ship in War Stories:
Chris: "Sorry, honey, but I'm in love."
Me: "That's okay, so am I."
Yay for Jayne's fuzzy orange hat.
"Wait a minute-- she promised to obey?" "Well, no. . ." Wash and Mal were so great in that episode. Well, all the episodes, but you know what I mean. Darnit, I'm going to have to go search out fanfiction once I've seen everything.
"I know it's a difficult mission, but you and I have to get it on." I was laughing so hard that I almost missed Zoe's line, which was equally classic.
Kath, Debi, Chris says he blames you two for his new addiction here. ;-)
We're going to watch the last episode and the movie tonight. So I'm probably going to be crying like crazy later. . . (I am still grimly certain that somebody is going to die, and that it won't be Jayne, which means I'll be bawling).
