Today is Sunday the end of the week to some and the begining to others. Me, it's an off day. Time to finish mowing the back yard. Because of the rain we have had here of late the back yard looks like the jungles of South American. When I was mowing I thought I might find an lost tribe in the high grass,but no such luck. On top of mowing, my wife's car died. Had to get a new battery for it Glad that happened here and not when we were on the road like the other day. I go back to work, on a new shift (1600 Hrs to 2400Hrs) which is okay because I'll be working with people that I enjoy working with. Well that is all for now.

I'll put this on a thread...later...when it's more complete, because there is definately more to come: ' **THE NEW ONES**(Of which category--'Big' or 'Eensy'? Consider 'em....'new'.) 1.) So there's Alliance who/what/where files on everybody 'cept Inara. How old IS she? 2.) If River's so off-the-charts "intuitive"---a reader, etc., the question I never got over(and only suppressed through my love of the Fruity Oaty Bar song)was HOW DID THEY TRICK HER INTO GOING TO THE ACADEMY IN THE FIRST PLACE? Wouldn't her "riversense" tell her "Heyyy, slow down a minute here, River. Them there look like pretty bad folks. I'm gettin' baaaad vibes off the wave the Academy sent to my dedicated sourcebox." Or maybe there are no 'vibes' in cyberspace...or whatever we use in 500 years... 3.) In the utterly famous cantina scene in Serenity where River goes all Miranda on the other customers, WHY does she HESITATE to shoot Mal? Other than it looking like a space-age western...:D Here follows the old, boring stuff:(pre-5/19/08) THE BIG QUESTIONS 1.) What IS in Inara's syringe? (seen in the scene where a Reaver boarding is discussed as a possibility)I always assumed it was poison so she could kill herself (and possibly others) if captured by Reavers rather than face a fate 'worse than death'. Joss said it's not. So now the theories abound... 2.) What was the purpose of River in Alliance hands? Some think she was supposed to become a kind of Operative(how similar are they?), and that there would be this galaxywide sort of Treadstone project... But is 'Miranda' an unconcious trigger or a deliberate cover-up trigger? 3.) In "War Stories", River 'does the math'---a shameless example of trying to exalt her skills to math phobics---and lethally shoots Kaylee's 3 assailants with barely a glance. (Scary yesss preciousss...) Does anyone remember the integral calculus name for this? There's also a statistics name for it,using a different set of concepts, but unfortunately I can't remember either right now...only so much remains when your recall centers have been stripped by those who want to overload them...ha... THE EENSY ONES 1.)Is Joss going to be sued by the makers of Alien for incorporating the Weyland-Yuitani logo into Firefly? (Yes, I lose sleep over this) 2.) What is Joss' theatrical intention with all the shots of River's feet? 3.) Where is the scene with these "space insects" I keep hearnin' about? (Kaylee WAS right--"Don't let the...space bugs...bite!") 4.)What is Badger's obsession with flamingoes? 5.) If in her "they're hurting us, get me out" letters to Simon, River says 'Did you like the [Darlington's] ball? I thought it was duller than last year.", why wasn't anyone screening them at the Academy tipped off by the sheer fallacious logic? Although Simon gets what his parents don't (i.e., they don't know anyone with that name and therefore something else is being said) how could River even attend their fictious ball since she's at the Academy?
