An absolute curse on Fox! When and why did programmes designed for intelligent viewers become so painfully marginalised?

Even now, I can't watch past episodes of Firefly without growling and ranting at the walls.

I... I... I couldn't help myself I peeked at the presents in the closet. I know it's not in the spirit of the hollidays but I just couldn't help myself. My hair is now completely white and my hair looks similar to Book's. I still shudder with excitment. It's like that Steven King short story the "Jaunt" I'm that little kid that stayed awake.

I'm even more severly pissed at Fox now after reading the script it had what mindless sex and vilence driven people wanted and a touching story that made you just sit there with your mouth on the floor after each event in the climax. I won't riun it but this episode was great now if I can only see it out side my head.

Word! That's exactly it! I feel like that kid! My first thought was 'Holy Crispy Crap!'

That poor kid.

But I have no regrets! Not a one!

Without getting spoilery, this episode (which was supposed to fall between Ariel and Objects in Space) casts a new light on River's view of Mal and Inara in OiS, I think.

I believe that Jerry made a comment about the script, "Heart of Gold."

He tried not to spoil anything, though.

You are right, Sarah. Heart of Gold takes place after WS, but before OiS.

So what Inara/Mal moments are different with this new spoilery knowledge? Nothing from WS, but OIS?

Whoa, hey now: first,from OiS:

Inara, "I don't know why I haven't left already."

Mal, "I don't know what's keeping you/forcing you to stay." (me being lazy and not looking up the exact words)

So um, without being explicit, that makes no sense in light of this missing ep . . .

So, in case the title of the thread wasn't spoiler warning enough:

**********SPOILER WARNING!************

. . . unless Inara has made her statement to leave, and now she has reneged on that comment because she is just weak in the knees, and waiting for Mal to tell her no. Perhaps procrastinating, giving Mal plenty of time to keep her from leaving at all? She's definitely afraid of herself/her emotions . . . it just seems odd that they would go back to their song and dance after that.

Second, In the kitchen scene discussing River, Inara busts in to the snickering saying that it isn't a laughing matter, that what they are discussing is their lives, and River's life. Now, if she was gonna go ahead with what she claimed (I'm trying to be all discreet here), then wouldn't she just have said, "This is River's life we're talking about?" or "River and your life"?

Third, the final scene where Mal checks out her cut lip, and she pushes his hand away, and Mal has a big 'whoops, I just crossed that line that I have no right to cross' look on his face.

That actually still makes sense. That was actually the scene that said something happened between them in HoG. That some new progression in their relationship happened, and it backfired badly. Now we know what it was.

Is it safe to discuss the actual script here? Should we do big spoilery warnings at the top of each post? What's this sites etiquette on such things?

I don’t know if I was the only one, but when I read this script it didn't sound all that Firefly-like to me. It did have a few jokes that sounded great, but I'm trying not to say too much and spoil it for other fans. I think a lot of what makes Firefly so wonderful is the cast and the acting, not just the script, so maybe that was why it didn’t quite click for me. But just to argue and question, how do we know that this is the actual script? I think everyone knew that Heart of Gold had a plethora of whores and a bordello on a dusty planet, so it could be faked. Maybe I’m just paranoid. Did anyone else notice the same things?

I agree that there is a potential for falsification, either in its entirety, or even in missing scenes or changed dialogue. There's nothing stopping the guy who transcribed this for us to alter it, either to f*ck with us, or to save some really big surprise for when we finally see it

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

This is GREAT!!!

I am going to go home and read this tonight! I am so happy to be able to at least read one of the three unaired episodes if nothing else.

Scene 30 has a note indicating that Scene 31 should be shown first. I juxtaposed them and swapped the scene numbers.

Early: You ever been raped, Kaylee?
Kaylee: You know, it's funny you should mention that... ever heard of the Fox network?

I can't get in. The site appears to either be down, or the traffic has gotten out of control.

Is this script posted anywhere else?

I did. It's the link that wouldn't work.

If I went to the actual site and got into the thread it worked.

Should there have been more than just up to Act Two? If so, I can't get to it.

Was pretty impressed with what I did read.

Got a good Firefly fix there

but I'd like to read more, if it's available!

Let's no going saying things we can't take back!

It's very, very good. It entertained me and made me happy and made me think. It's an echo--it'll never be the real thing, but that's okay.

So, hush now.

I’m sorry to post this, but that Heart of Gold script brought it on.
I know a lot of fan’s are not going to like it, but as much as I love Firefly, I feel like it was almost nice that we only got to see a few episodes. We were all given a small look into the lives of these characters and their world. Most of us learned the lingo, and can all relate to something or someone. We were given just enough information to keep imagining what might of happened next, and for each fan the future scenarios are different. (Personally I foresee Simon falling madly in love with a red head named Kaythryn and Zoë teaching her to shoot.

) But, and I only say this because I don’t see Firefly coming back, if we were able to see ten years of Firefly it wouldn’t be the same as we see it now. I have a bad feeling that the amazing, original ideas would waver. Everyone would sleep around with everyone, people who die off and come back, or worse, be replaced by a different actors. Example: Years down the road Jubel Early comes back on the show, joins the gang, and then has years of an on and off again sexual relationship with Kaylee who he had threatened to rape earlier. I don’t know if I could take that. (In that story line Jubel is like Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer- don’t get me wrong, I like that show, but I don’t think it would work in the wild world of Firefly.) This doesn’t change the fact that I would still watch Firefly religiously, but I like how it has stayed in my mind.
***SPOILER!***

Select to view spoiler:

Here's the part that actually has something to do with Heart of Gold. At the end when Inara says she’s leaving-- maybe it’s a joke-- but it didn’t fit with the picture of Firefly I’ve had in my mind for so long. I knew she tried to keep separate from the criminal life on Serenity, but I figured her to stay around with her “family”.

Just another example of why I like keeping Firefly the way I’ve seen it in the aired episodes. Alright, I figure that’s enough of that. Sorry for how all that ended up sounding, I'm really not anti-Firefly, just a lover-of-firefly-and-not-wanting-it-to-change.

She's not 'leaving' because of criminal activities. She's leaving because being near Mal is too painful. Her decision is exactly in keeping with how I view Firefly, and Inara's character.

LOL, this is going to be an empty thread.

I'm in a rush, sorry if that came out curt, gotta run and get my Colin Farrel fix
