"They can't take the sky from me. Well, I guess they can."

We started in on Firefly tonight. We watched the pilot with the commentary, which was hilarious. Joss and Nathan, cutting up. Then The Train Job which I hadn't seen for months and months. It doesn't get all that exciting, but it's good fun.

There was much sighing over Kaylee from both of us. I think it was only me who was sighing over Jayne.

It's hard to talk about this show in more depth because I will only start to think about how it was cancelled and then I will be deeply frustrated and sad. But I was very struck by the lighting, partly because Joss kept harping on it in the commentary. :) It's always a very real looking light, often a warm light inside the ship, especially in the mess. It's so different from any other scifi I've seen.

In other news, the boy and I were excitedly discussing our Monday (Monday!) RotK tix -- what time we should line up, where we should aim to sit, how one person shouldn't hold both tickets.

Hal: Of course, I could die horribly before Monday. If I'm dead, you should go to the movie anyhow. I suppose if I'm lying in the hospital ill, you could sit with me instead.

Boy: What if you were in a coma? If I were sick, I'd enjoy having you sit with me but if I'm in a coma, you should go to the movie.

We are fans.

Is Firefly out on DVD then?? Did you buy it or rent it from somewhere?

*head in hands* Another tv series on DVD which we will want to own. Lordy me. *checks bank balance, sighs*

how one person shouldn't hold both tickets

This is *so* important - what if the person holding the tickets was, say, trapped in an elevator? Or even if it was the person without the tickets who was delayed, then the ticket-holder would have to hang around the theater lobby, waiting for the other person to show up, becoming more and more anxious and losing any chance of getting a good seat...disaster!

I have spent too much time considering these possibilities.

Ahhh, Firefly, my own true love. Space is showing the missing eps, too. *pets Space* I adore you, you know that. I'm drooling at the prospect of the DVDs.

One of my all-time fave lines is from that series:

Wash: Psychic? That's sounds like science fiction!
Zoe: You live on a space ship, dear.
Wash: So?

There's gonna be a movie, right? I heard there was gonna be movie.

Your boy is entirely worth having around. (: Or, if you're in a coma, not having around.

Kaylee!

I keep hoping someone will get me Firefly for my birthday -- I hinted *heavily* to my sister a few weeks ago. Because what with buying the new computer/software and going to Escapade, I can't afford any DVDs.

Oh, no, I haven't bought it yet. January, my dear. This is what birthdays are for. (:

And I suggest you stop buying DVDs in plenty of time to go to Vividcon this year.

I sigh over Jayne a bit myself, grunting neanderthal that he is. Especially if I think about him cornering Simon and ruffling him up and making him sweaty. I'd forgotten the dvds were out- must go to the store!

And how exciting that you got preview tickets! And unless the other's presence is required to sign for life-saving hospital stuff, you should still go, imho .
