Something I've always wondered.

When one of you tells me, I'll probably kick myself for not knowing. It's probably something painfully obvious that I'm just missing.

A reference to the "Big Damn Heroes" line that Zoe says to Mal in Safe.

That would be the derivation, the basis. The common usage is likely due to the fact that these boards knew there would be a film, and were discussing it long before the Official Title was known - had to call it something while discussing it and enthusing over it.

I think it wasn't until I had seen the episode for the third time I realised what BDH was. I can be slow at times.

Oh sure, go with the easy answer! Lets break it down shall we.

"The" because it's unique, see? A one and only
"Big" because it's important like, not easily ignored
"Damn" because we like to swear and it makes us sound B.A.
"Movie" because it's a movie
-e

"Storms getting worse."
"We'll pass through it soon enough."

I've only been wearin' my coat of a sort of brownish color for a year. I was a babe in the woods before. I missed out on the great struggle and anguish, the "golden days" of it all ...between the series and the BDM release.

America loves a winner!

i never tire seeing questions like this one.

"Hillary tried to get a million dollars for the Woodstock museum. I understand it was a major cultural and pharmaceutical event. I couldn't attend. I was tied up at the time." - John McCain

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager

" They don't like it when you shoot at 'em. I worked that out myself. "

Mal: "Aint we just!"
