Only briefly but still.

Kara and I spent the weekend watching Firefly on DVD and Playing Final Fantasy X2.

Firefly is still amazing. It’s sad that the Sci-Fi channel hasn’t stepped up to the plate and picked it up. I guess they spent all their money on Cleopatra 2525.

This tiny comment will probably get more people watching Firefly than anything I ever do. Its a good thing.

In finest R Lee Emery tradition, give the gents a reach-around.

If you haven't read Penny Arcade - check it out. The news posts are a hoot and the comics they put up every other day or so are often laugh-out-loud funny, better than most of the newspaper strip cartoons IMO.

This is actually the second posting - Tycho discussed them in greater detail around Christmastime. (Dec. 29th post quoted here)

"Since I got home, I've done little else but watch this Firefly DVD boxed set. I never watched the show when it was on television, though I would demand that Gabriel recount each episode for me in exacting detail. Understand me when I say that I could regale you for hours, hours, regarding minute details of this science fiction western, which is from the Buffy guy. How they swear in Chinese, which M.G. assures me is a language uniquely capable of withering a person. How they combine geisha tradition and prostitution into a sort of bizarre respectability. I've always liked Westerns, and I've had to tolerate the Old West setting to get my fix of frontier living hardasses that shoots them's what looks at 'em. It's the best television program in recent memory, and there were three episodes that never aired due to series cancellation - the set has those, too. I must admit that the whole cancellation scenario really indicts the system we've got set up to produce our television shows. I propose an indistinct alternate system with hazy details that I will never fully define.

They say that when God closes a door he opens a window, which is nice I guess, but if it's all the same to him maybe he could just leave the fucking door open? He's omnipotent, and presumably this state allows him to open a door and a window simultaneously. Or maybe this is some Myst bullshit where when you open one the other closes automatically, in which case he shouldn't get the credit anyhow. At any rate, the most recent example of this phenomenon is this - we don't get to have the show anymore, but we do get a movie. What that has to do with God exactly I'm not sure.

(CW)TB out."

The double mention (and the big approval) greatly increases the possibility that people who read Penny-Arcade will check it out.

I was wondering when someone would mention this. I saw a CTS avatar around here somewhere...

Its good to remember that Firefly has many friends in many places.
