RE: Firefly: things everyone in fandom has told you already, but which I feel the need restate

Since the movie's coming out in a couple of months, my sister and I finally got around to watching all fourteen episodes of Firefly last week. By this stage I think we must have already ranted to... perhaps half of you? about our shared reactions to this show, so I'll sum up my overall impression in brief here:

OMFG they fsking CANCELED this show ( Read more... )

firefly, fannish stuffs

YES *grin*

"OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE WHO'S FLYING THIS THING?!!"

I've seen a userpic floating around that someone has that shows most of the crew one by one with chinese characters next to their name, and the last frame just has "Firefly: teaching people to swear in Chinese since 2000" (or whenever the show came out) :D I think it's /awesome/.

I don't have a firefly icon, however I have firefly keywords! Thus, Petra will have to do, as she is really just a more powerful, more psychotic version of River :D

"OH GOD WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE WHO'S FLYING THIS THING?!!"

Have you seen the movie trailer? (up at the official site if not) There's another great quote along those lines mid way through.

I've heard that the actual pronunciation of the Chinese parts on Firefly is so bad even native Chinese speakers can't make sense out of it. It is a truly inspired way to slip the bad language under the censors though.

Me personally, I'm being tempted to make a "My fandom can kill you with its brain" icon. Curse my terminally limited icon slots!

Naaaaaar.

*innocent fact* I have absolutely no idea what you could be naaaaring about here. This is a naught but a perfectly friendly reminder to yourself and others on just exactly how much they are missing out completely by not watching this show.

P.S. 73 days till the end of September and counting.

NARRRRRRRRR. >_

I can recommend you a good DVD rental place and everything, you know. It's not that far out of your way. ;)

Hey look, it's after midnight! 72 days to the end of September and counting.

I've never really seen much of the series, but the movie looks god damn fantastic. I guess you will just have to addict me to Firefly when I get back from Seattle

I've never really seen much of the series, but the movie looks god damn fantastic.

Doesn't it just? *g* We don't know yet whether it follows on from the series or works as some sort of AU, but it looks like watching the series first is neither a bad idea nor really prerequisite.

I guess you will just have to addict me to Firefly when I get back from Seattle

Sadly, all we can do to spread the addiction is offer encouragement and point you in the direction of a good DVD rental place - we don't actually have access to the DVDs or anything useful like that. They are so totally on this year's Christmas list though

The series so rocks , a friend over here has the whole series which also has the missing episodes that never aired on tv even in America.

I've watched a couple of the missing eps and they so rock and we only have a few episodes on the computer .

Apparently the screening in Innaloo is already sold out for the opening night*sigh*
