I will too! It was funny, the first time through watching the DVDs when I got to "Heart of Gold" (Which I thought was the weakest episode) I sat there thinking WTF is Julie Cooper doing in this...

I've got two more episodes to watch. What a great show. I especially like the way they made up curse words of the future. The censors of today never caught them!

They didn't make up the curse words - they are real Mandarin (I think) Chinese phrases.

Just bumping the "news" thread with some info.

I just listened to the latest podcast of The Signal (#4) that just came out. There is a good interview with Adam Baldwin, another Chinese lesson, some news (there's a fan film they talk about)...all in all, a good listen.

The website is http://signal.serenityfirefly.com/signal.php and the podcast URL is there also.

FYI, the pocast called The Signal has episode 6 up. These guys have scored another interview, for the third episode in a row. First is was Adam Baldwin, then Gina Torres, and this week, Ron Glass.

FYI... the first snippet of the Serenity movie novelization is now available on the Browncoats website. The brief snippet deals, strangely enough, with a re-telling of the battle of Serenity Valley, exactly as seen in the opening of the "Serenity" pilot episode of Firefly. It's still a great read, and gives you some great insight into Mal and Zoe (moreso Mal... it shows you why he never stops living that battle).

Two strange things, though.

- The battle of Serenity Valley plays no part in the movie whatsoever, which makes you wonder why the author chose to flesh it out. Even I'm confused by it.

- The author gets Zoe's last name wrong. Very, very wrong. He doesn't go by her maiden name (Warren) or her married name (Washburn).

Oh, and the author is Keith R. A. DeCandido, whose name should sound familar to sci-fi fans (particularly folks reading recent Trek books).

Hey, I'm only paid to be observant at work. I can be as unobservant as I want after 5:00.

I was going to start a merchandise thread but figured I'd recycle an old one.

The novelization of Serenity arrived at work (B&N) today. It came a few days earlier than the expected street date (8/30), but in the world of books, unless it's a big release, street dates don't mean much, anyway. The companion book is due out next week as well, and I think the magazine is slated for the middle of the month. I heard the action figures are supposedly shipping next week.

Hmmm... I wonder if the Real Doll people would come out with a special Serenity edition Inara?

How about a Serenity model, with detachable shuttles and mule for the cargo bay?

The Serenity movie website has been updated with some real content. You can play horseshoes against Mal or even download a cookbook. Shiny!

I don't recall ever seeing this mentioned, and the search function is for crap...it's not real news, but it's just something I heard them say on the latest podcast of the Signal.

In the Battlestar Galactica mini-series, the ship Serenity is part of the fleet. They said it was early on around the 14 minute mark, and that it was a kind of tribute from the BSG producers. I never heard that before or looked when I watched the mini-series...actually, I hadn't even seen Firefly yet.

Serenity appears in the scene where Laura Roslin is in the doctor's office on Caprica.

It's right when the scene starts, and they cut to the interior of the doctor's office. Look out the window and you can see Serenity.
