I apologize for the delay. It's still Friday here. Perhaps next time I should say Hawai'i Standard Time.

Seriously, I didn't have access to a computer all day till about a little while ago.

There are a couple of bonus items I'll be posting, look for them before the weekend is over.

I'm probably just biased, but doesn't it seem like the trailer alone for this episode is better than a lot of other stuff that is on TV today? *sigh* I miss Firefly. But it is nice to see the conversation that contains Kaylee's "I gotta do that again. That sucked." quote from the gag reel.

Damn, that's some good teaser! This scene with Wash had me ROTFLMAO:

WASH
Oh my god, it's grotesque! Oh, and
there's something in a jar.

He ogles the fetus as Zoe comes up to Simon.

WASH

Do not fear me. Ours is a peaceful
race, and we must live in harmony...

I love firefly. *Sigh.* This teaser has to be the best of them all. *Another happy sigh.* I'm just so glad this one was filmed.

All of you UK browncoats are taping these unaired episodes for us poor outsiders right?

And even though I know most of you've read the script already... I've got to quote!

RIVER
My food is troublesome.

JAYNE
Girl's a mind-readin' genius, can't
figure out how to eat an ice-planet.

I am still laughing over this one.... Yup, still laughing.

SIMON
...Plus, every other girl I know is
either married, professional, or
closely related to me, so you are
more or less literally the only girl
in the world.

Damn it Simon! If you don’t have anything good to say just kiss her already!

What a pleasant suprise this mornin' to wake up and be able to read a new script. I have to say I laughed hard, this was funny.

Select to view spoiler:

JAYNE
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

Thanks Haken.

I'll get to work on those 100 push-ups for my lack of faith.

And I have to say, I wasn't far off. I put you in Hawai'i or Alaska last night.

Ah, the Whedon Wonderfullness. Usually I like to wait for the entire script to be up before I start reading it, that way I'm not tormented in segments. But this time I couldn't help it! It called to me, and it made me do its evil bidding! So now I'm all tormented and such, and why can't Haken just post the whole episode at once? It's not fair.

I dunno about anyone else, but those ice planets sounded pretty good to me...

How can you guys read the script, with the unseen eps just around the corner?

I am waiting. I am a New Episode Virgin. I am waiting for the unseen episodes, I'm saving myself. Why is everyone laughing and pointing at me?

You're a new episode virgin? Gezze, loser. All the cool people are reading it. Anyone who’s anyone reads unaired episode scripts. Duh.

I likewise am unsure whether I'm only robbing myself of the pleasure of seeing brand new episodes if I read the scripts. It was great having one we knew wasn't shot so there was no conflict. There must be more scripts that were in developement just floating out there. Haken? any leads on such materials? After saying all that I'll probably go right over to the teaser. Can't help myself. no self control. Argh

I said I would and so I did. Holy crap. This is such good entertainment. What I wouldn't give to have this show back. I would stop watching any other shows if I could just see this series through to a satisfying conclusion. It must not be allowed to end this way. I really would.

In this exchange between Mal and Inara, did anyone else wonder why the writers didn't refer to 'The Mexican' from 'Trash' instead? Seems like it would have been a nice bit of continuity.

That would mostly be my fault. When I first typed in "Trash" I did so from the "Blue Revisions", which (it turns out) was not the final version. There was a final "Pink Revision" before they filmed it.

The main change from the Blue to the Pink revision was:

changing "The Mexican" to "The Lassiter."

I have recently submitted the Pink revision to Haken, so I assume that version of the script will be updated here as well when he gets the chance.

Both Haken and I have been super busy recently so some of these little errors have been falling through the cracks. Ha! That makes it sound like it is 50% Haken's fault (when it is really all mine!.. But I am happy to share the blame

)

Back to lurking...

The best part is the gag video

Select to view spoiler:

Dead guy is reading his last request (recorded) and they have a dramatic go around the room shot, moving from face to face, and if your mind is wandering a bit it slowly dawns on you that the camera hasn't gone all the way around the circle once and you've seen Mal four or five times before the circle goes all the way around, around the same time you notice the happy music.

I think the effect would be partialy spoiled if you were paying attention the first time around.

This is a spoiler becuse maybe someone didn't realized there was a talking dead guy

It was really funny. Of course seeing the episde will change the fact that i thought that was the best part.
