But as I understand it if you sync up the reaver chase in Serenity with the turbulence it really adds to the effect:)

We aren't landing. We are flying in circles backwards in order to make time reverse.

Good idea MSA. *puts Serenity on all plane video sets.

After that, your choices for in flight entertainment are Firefly, Doctor Who, or Torchwood.

Don't like those choices? There's a parachute in the back with your name on it.

The answer to all of that is yes, you can watch what you want, eat what you want, and sit where you want. (I might have accidentally on purpose temporarily borrowed some flightbots from the SereniTREE, so now everyone has their own personal flight attendant.)

As for the When we are going, you'll have to take it up with the pilot. Speaking of which, I haven't heard anything from so far...

Ladies and Gentlecoats, this is yer Captain speaking. We're cruising at an altitude of . . . . pretty high at a speed of . . . . well, that's all relative innit?

Your flight attendant is Mai, who can be said to be a mite whimsical in the brainpan, but she's darn good at what she does. We just haven't figured out exactly what that is yet.

We'll be taking requests for the time period of your choice, but as this imaginary interweebery flight operates on String Theory, you can only go back in your own lifetime. We can not guarantee who or what you will experience that time period as, however, but if you'd read the pre-flight contract, you'd know that all ready. Don't blame me.

Myself . . . I was turned in to a newt. But worry not. I got better.

Nope, no fridays off. They wanted to get me to work saturdays too but I flat out refused. With great gobs of luck this new guy they just hired will work out and I can get my two day weekends back. I'm not doing the breath holding though.
