I heard about the series and the movie over the past few years, but only recently began watching the series on DVD. (All give thanks to our lord, Netflix.) I have to say that this is one of the more impressive sci-fi series I have seen in a while, BSG excluded.

I have just seen "Ariel," and being an ex-paramedic, I got a good chuckle at it, especially when the crew was trying to learn medicalese.....It was an interesting vision of medical care in the future, though, it seems as if they haven't done much style-wise for medic uniforms....;-)

I especially enjoy how well developed these characters are, which you don't always find in new television series that are (were) very new. All in all, I can't wait to finish the series, then check out them movie.

Appreciate the welcome. Well, the pilot was really something, I have to say. So far though, "Out of Gas" and "Our Mrs. Reynolds" are favs. "Ariel" though I really enjoyed, since it kinda hit home a little with me. (Health care stuff, even though I retired 8 years ago.)

My mom (who is a nurse) liked that episode for that reason as well. She loved it when Zoe knocked out a smart-ass doctor with a defibrillator and says "Clear".

LOL! Yeah, that doc reminded me of a 2 trauma surgeons I used to run across in Brooklyn.....I told one off once in front of her little minions for copping an attitude with me, (and she never got smart with me again.) and the other was just an ass......

I love Ariel too.
Mostly because River is my favorite character ever, and there are many moments and developement in this episode.
Did you notice what Jayne's t-shirt says?

Howdy and welcome aboard Staleek!

As you've maybe noticed in another thread I'm the official 'coat minder.

*digs in storeroom, moving Christmas cards and holiday invites out of the way*

*hands Staleek a browncoat from the back*

There you are... see if that one fits...
Looks good! Excellent color!

I love this place...this place is my home and I hope you come to love it as much as we all do here.
We're a friendly bunch and love to talk and love to listen... so post often and enjoy yourself.

There will be someone along to offer you strawberries and tell you where the buffet table is.

Make yourself to home.

Yay! Done in IFURITA's thread, 'cos that's
where I found our here-now friend first!
Wonder if Cappy'd mind if we set up a taco
bar and something pizza-related? Getting to
be a lot of mouths to feed.

Well, I must admit, she is very easy on the eyes, though Inara is really the one that smokes my tires......

Our Mrs. Reynolds is a great ep, but I have to give a shout out to Jaynestown...

"You wanna tell me how come there's a statue of you here lookin' at me like I owe him somethin'?"

"Honey, he's putting the hair away now..."

and of course...

"We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm a hero.."
