Action and a Whore

Starts with babblings between Joss and guy running video tape recorder.

Hi, welcome to the interweb.

Firefly. A lot of people are asking me, you know, what exactly is Firefly? It's a tv show you morons! Everbody knew that. It's a science fiction-western-drama-action-comedy-hybrid, much like all of the shows I do. It's something I haven't seen on tv for a awhile. I'm not sure if I've ever seen all of the elments in place. It's got a great deal of action and a great deal, obviously, of cool space ships, and all of the things that I love in science fiction. But actually it's just really Stagecoach. It's using a nice compelling setting, a journey. In this case, hopefully a very loooong journey. To learn about people, and see thier interactions, to see what makes them tick, and learn about society, and life and what it all means, but with action and a whore!



Two Words

There are certain things that we are going to be threading throught out the show to keep the world alive and insert in the background. So the two words I have to say to you right now are "Blue" "Sun".



Boring Pontification

You know, I remember now what I was going to say before too, about the show, is that you're going to see something that you really haven't seen before. The special effects that are so seamlessly introduced in the show that they don't feel at all like CGI effects. They feel like the same kind of of thing. You'll really feel like you are there, in those (CGI shots). So it's not one of those things where suddenly you cut out and everything is stately and boring and kind of very clean and digitial, then you cut back in and it's all different.

We have the best effects house, Radium, going, and they are so interested in just being part of the story telling. Everybody who is working on the show is part of the same thing. Hopefully that is the same thing you are going to get from the site, that apparently I am talking thru right now. You know we don't want to be be the same regular old network site. We're interested in finding new things to do and new things for you guys to see. I'll be appearing occasionly and pontificating in boring fashion like I am right now. And just trying to find new ways to use the internet to hight light what the show feels like, and the experience of it so that this can all become part of the same story because hopefully when you see the show the story will start to expand beyond the borders of your telivision set and into your daily lives and into your dreams, and control your mind...

I mean, umm, did you like it?

(off screen voice) Here's your twenty bucks

I'm glad you guys picked up on the whole 'Blue Sun' thing I'm still at a loss as to what it all means.... I was thinking corporation?

The logo in that picture looks like it is on the side of a cargo container so I'd guess it was something the crew were haulling.....

The frustrating thing here is the absence of official explanation. Perhaps the Mutant Enemies are too busy to write up all the technical details -- or maybe they just think all those Trekkie pseudo-technical handbooks are just plain lame. In any case, there's a lot of vague second hand information, that hasn't been officially confirmed.

For example, all the news stories (mostly written by people with a limited interest in "hard" SF) seem to say that there will be no interstellar travel on this show. Everything will take place in a single solar system with several planets that were terraformed and colonized some unspecified time in the past.

But while I crave technical specifics, I do not crave spoilers!

Also if there's no FTL does this mean they had it and lost it or was the initial colonization via 'slowboat' with cryo-sleep etc.
