This entry is dedicated to everyone who has told me in the past few months to SEE FIREFLY, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT'S HOLY.
You
Were
Right
I have to get back to this paper. BUT. We watched the first ep just now, at the request of my now-wisdom-teeth-less-wife (ouch!), and... YES YES YES YES YES.
I love you, Joss. I love you so goddamn much for the way that you never stop getting better. And for the concept of "space western." And for Kaylee, Joss... I love you for her, so much. She is the best. She is who I could have been, way back when. She's who I should still try to be. I don't think I've quite lost *all* that natural innocence yet, and she makes me want to cultivate it. Glass half full, always. Three-quarters, even.
But, um... did anyone else get a momentarily gay vibe from that first Inara/Kaylee interaction? My antennae perked right up. I mean, I know there's some kind of Inara/Mal deal... but... she and Kaylee could cuddle. It would be so sweet. Anyone?!
Also, I would just like to thank Joss for curing me, almost instantaneously, of the AAAHHH!!!CALEB! and AAHHHHH!!!JASMINE! reaction. I only freaked for about thirty seconds. I was so afraid that I'd never be able to get past the bad vibes... but thanks to Joss's brilliance (and Fillion's and Torres's acting skillz), I ain't got no problem. As they say. ;)
NOW. Paper! Let it be DONE, so that I can dive into this wonderful new show and discover a brand new story.
