Stuart Townsend: Y/N?

I really want to like him, as I think he's cute, plus he does some goofy genre and Canadian productions which is always endearing, plus I'm inclined to solidarity with those of dark irish enfeaturement. But I regret to find his acting a bit uninspired.

I've been watching him in this French-Canadian series XIII. It's not

I'd be upset about Firefly but Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop already have their complete runs.

I say that as a guy that liked Firefly, of course.

Google is indicating to me that Outlaw Star principally concerns elf breasts.

[mybodymycoffin]

Close: Catgirl breasts.

That, and pure fucking awesome.

Joss Whedon's pitiful protests that Cowboy Bebop played no influence on Firefly kill me.

Of course, his protests that Heinlein had no influence are even funnier, because Tim Minear has settled that particular score. I liked Firefly fine-even though Joss's "witty comeback" dialogue makes everyone sound kind of the same-but I figure if it had gone on further than it did we may not remember it so fondly.

See: Serenity.

Yeah Serenity was nowhere near as good. Technological explanation of reavers = :(.

He seriously protested Cowboy Bebop influence though? So lame.

[yechezkiel]

Whedon is constantly on some "I am a profound original genius kick" it seems.

[mybodymycoffin]

Oh wow. I'm sure he denies the Outlaw Star parallels too, which are even worse.

But smuggling biologically-engineered girls with special abilities into briefcases is a fairly common intro for a sci-fi series about outlaws in outer space.
