Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...

How kewl...I remember reading long ago that numerous NASA astronauts and other scientists were big fans of Star Trek, but it's fascinated me that fans of Firefly cover the entire spectrum, from scientists to psychologists to philosophers and more, and some of them highly respected. Speaks volumes to me about not only the quality of Joss' works, but the complexity and how he's put out things which make people want to ponder and question.

Joss is a genius...I believed it from Firefly, liked it in Buffy, and was convinced it wasn't just an opinion when I looked for books on/about him and found SO MANY by such varied authors. This just proves it yet again. Thank you.

To our President: “Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar. Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.... oh, go fuck yourself, Mr. President” ...Raptor

To Anthony, unquestionably the most civil person on this forum: “Go fuck yourself. On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you. ...Raptor

To Frem: “You miserable piece of shit.” ...Raptor

...so much for "togetherness"...this, instead, weakens us...

Expired, forgotten, spoiled rotten.

That is one of the more interesting takes on Firefly and Serenity I've read. As Niki said above, the series attracts people from all walks of life and that means we're going to get all opinions of the show. The fact that the series is capable of handling so many varying takes on it is probably further evidence that it is vastly superior to most of what is on television but I'm preaching to the choir if I write that here.

So, here's a guy who hates Wash and was glad that Whedon killed him (never heard that before) and adores Inaara (my least favorite character and one who I've only met a few people that really like here). Very interesting.

Also, glad to see the shout out for The Beat my Heart Skipped at the bottom of the page. Love that movie.

I pray for one last landing,
on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.
