A few more...
1. If Fruity Oaty Bars make you bust out of your blouse, how come River just went monkeyshit and beat everyone up instead of...busting outta her blouse? The answer to this question should be debated ad nauseum...
2. Jayne's just....heavy. Not so heavy that someone would have to harpoon him, though...you mean old Reavers you!
3. You can follow a lesson from an old tracker and use your eyes, but your eyes can decieve you, what with 6 fake Nav-Sats and all!
4. Blue Sun Whiskey (Or, whatever the hell that stuff Jayne was drinking was)...I guess they really are the evil megacorporation Joss painted them to be. Making cola and whiskey...The evil knows no bounds!!!
5. When you know that your enemies are waiting for you, its perfectly okay to punch your other, meaner, nastier enemies in the face, yell "Nah Nah a Boo Boo!", and run like hell towards your first enemy.
6. Hey, Mal? If you feel a powerful need to eat sometime this month...check out what the Reavers are up to. They never seem hungry, and Jayne would feed the crew for a solid month!
7. We need a catchphrase here...Let's see: "If wishes were horses..." Nope, too TV. "A long time ago, in a gal..." Nope...been done to death... "I aim to misbehave" YES!!!
8. Simon seems too calm in admonishing his sister after she kicks his throat in. "You could've asked me?" No, no, no..."You kicked me right in the throat, you psychotic beeeeyotch!!!" Then again, that may be why I'm not writing multimillion dollar science fiction films.
9. If I had to operate a Reaver ship...it would be that little Tilt-A-Whirl bastard that spins the hell out someone! Reavers! Not only are they territorial, cannabilistic murderers, but they sure do love a good carny ride!
10. The day that Serenity is pulled from your local theater is about on par with a root canal for sheer pleasure. I'm guessing...
There,...another ten...not as solid as some, but, hey...I like them...

Simon: "It means more out here. It's all I have..."

River's sexy... But not in a bursty-outy-from-blousey way. She doesn't have anything to burst out with. Certainly no carefully concealed Octopi. Her sexiness is more the whole foot-fetish-extra-bendy-could-break-you-in-half-with-her-bare-hands kinda thing.
I like the idea of eating Jayne to make the food situation easier though.

And then the spell was broken as Shannon Foraker looked up from her console from where she had just sent a seemingly innocent command to the main computers of State Security's finest Superdreadnoughts.
"Oops." She said.

Lol! Your portrait is on the Tilt-a-Whirl, isn't it Mr Mock you with my Monkeypants? I believe I have seen it, one of my best friend's gramps invented the Tilt-a-Whirl. The friend who first said "Firefly" to me in fact.
#11 Being able to slingshot a carnyride full of Reaver ships at an Alliance floatilla trumps the play.

Ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need.

1) Batman Begins was no where near as good.
2) The theatre-goin' public have thick skulls for the most part.
3) Serenity shoulda been a bigger hit.
4) .....uh, I can't think of any more....

Gosh...Can I think up some more...Let's see:
1. (And, believe me, its quite important) WHAT DID IMDB SAY ABOUT KAYLEE'S NECKLACE IN THE FUNERAL SCENE? Holy CRAP!
2. 500 years in the future, and not everybody own lasers...Okay, I can get onboard with that. But, those Reavers? I guess when throwing sticks and spikes stop working, its okay to start shooting!
3. Inara has the ability to transmogrify her bow between shots!
4. "Sundries and such...I suppose." Riiiiight...Like any hot blooded man is going to pass up the chance to search Inara's trunk...you know, for junk and stuff.
5. Apparently the old trick of picking up another reciever and listening in to someone's phone call will still work in the future. Cortex Waves seem like they should be a little more secure, huh?
6. I like the idea of the Joss Whedon Hat Trick...Its just too bad that we didn't get a "Quadruple Threat". That would've been cool...then again, who knows what the future holds (I do, I HAVE watched Firefly, you know.)
7. Is it just me, or has anyone else tried to imagine the Reaver/Robbery scene with the old mule instead of the new one? Fuuuuuunnny stuff!
8. The Captain is lying on his bed, assed out, gets up to take a call, shirtless, and the first thing he does...Tries to fix his hair. He's so vain, he probably thinks this post is about him! (Oh wait...it kinda is!)
9. Watching Serenity in an Army base theater was the oddest moviegoing experience of my life. No one made a sound...no laughs, no gasps...The only sound I heard was the rather rude woman on her cell phone in my row. For SHAME!!! Fireflyfans are trying to watch a movie here, you know!
10. And, the award for the best looking female movie cast of the year goes to...You guessed it! Makes me proud to be a longtime Flan!
Now, I know some of you are probably going to say that these aren't lessons, but, observances...You're right...I'm very tired, so forgive me...
More to follow...probably...after I've put more thought into it...

1.Some men are just too damn pretty to die. 2.Never forget to "moon" your enemies. 3.Everybody's lost in the woods, but some of us see better there. 4.Calling someone a whore and never knocking only means "I love you." So does calling them a "petty thief." 5.Always cut your apples. 6.A little throw up on a bed is nothing between siblings. 7.Betraying the crew is betraying the Captain and it'll cost you a very long drop. 8.Believe in something, and believe in it enough to die for it. 9.Party invites on Persophone can't be bought without diamonds the size of testicles. 10.Love is the first rule of flying. I could probably go on forever......:)
"Aw see, now they don't know a damn thing....and I was gonna get me an ear too."...Jayne.

Serenity in a nutshell. Would that I were that eloquent.
