Bad! Don't you know? Mel Torme is baaaaad!

But Book is evil and dies in the second half of the ep

*runs out giggling*

(can a giggle be maniacal?)

Okay, let's see if I can help.

1) The Captain's name is Malcom Reynolds, so it's Mal, not Mel. If that's confusing, just refer to him as "captain tightpants".

2) He's good. He may seem like a grumpy old man at times, but he's funny and has a good heart, though sometimes driven by money. He's against the government and a theif, so if that's what you mean by "bad" then yes he is, but he's the hero of our show.

3) The girl in the box may seem like a robot because she's all surrounded with metallic stuff, but she's just as human as the next person.

4) Though it seems Book (the preacher) is boring at first, he has a big secret and a long history of something. Apparently it's not what we assume at first OR later.

5) Kaylee, the ship mechanic (not counselor or whatever) likes strawberries. She's young and fresh fruit I'm sure doesn't come easy to them out in the black.

6) Book doesn't die in the second half.

I hope that somewhat clears things up. In the Joss "da boss" Whedon world, things aren't usually explained right away, so it's easy to get confused, but don't worry, you'll 'make it out of the woods'. At least you get to see the pilot first, before the rest of the series!

Oops, my bad, Book dies only in my fantasies

"Break out your torch and pitchforks!"

And dude! I've been posting on a UK board? Oh my Joss! Ack! *spit*

Well, this thread is both very kind and very cruel. I'm not sure what to think. I saw a music video about a black man in a big poofie gray haired wig and I wonder if this is the same show. Same guy from Barney Miller back in the seventies.

I find it easier just to let others post because I think I said the wrong thing or something. I know that ManiacNumbero One is a male so sorry and I like to be correct about gender.

But if you people think that everyone whoe finds this website is a mind reader, no, you're not.

Just to make certain its clear if you didn't get it, they were strawberries, NO sexual enduendo there, just ew.(well, there was, but not after it was explained as she ate one)

Anyway, you're being terribly critical of half a pilot episode, especially as you didn't even(for example) understand who kaylee was yet.

At least finish the pilot episode of a show before you critisize it please.

I tried to be as nice as possible in this post(and avoid ranting), if I didn't, I apologize.

Okay, before I walk away from this completely:

Many here, including myself, were/are under the impression that you are not what you seem (a newbie to the show). That you are either a very clever troll, or a Browncoat having some fun pretending to be a troll who is pretending to be a newbie.

And if none of that means a damned thing to you, and we were mistaken and you really are a potential new fan, my most humble apologies for not taking you seriously. And: welcome, enjoy the show! We Browncoats can be a nice bunch (evidenced by those who took you at face value) when not paranoid of troll attacks.

But if that is wrong . . .

Keep flyin'

I'm curious...wouldn't most trolls get bored and leave if they were always greeted with polite, helpful interest in their becoming better acquainted with the show instead of defensive or argumentative flaming? After all, flame-wars is what feed trolls (especially when directed at the 'troll') I think if we just assume everyone is on the level, then it will be clear when someone is trying to cause trouble (and the best response, as always, is not to feed the trolls but let the mods -- in this case haken, I guess -- weed them out).

Just my $0.02 (present-day cost of a "nothing part", like say a catalyzing converter)

Huh.

Now isn't that something.

To our dear friend who statred this post. Please don't give up on our show. Understand these folk on this here board have had a vital part of them ripped from their soul when this show was taken from the airwaves. Yes, we take our show that seriously. I make it a point to introduce all my friends to Firefly. There is so much to this show. The situations may not be 100% justified as real, (though they are a far cry from what we have been force fed as reality). But the people, they are real. Real hurt, Real Hereos, not because of special powers, just because they choose not to quit. As you continue watching you'll learn to love each and everyone of these characters. Definately don't buy them all at face value, they are human, they make mistakes, they all face faith in their own way. That's part of what makes us all human. Trust me noone is here to go ripping apart anyone just because they are learning. But hey, you ever got any questions, ask. I'll be glad to help. Firefly isn't my life, but it sure made a difference in it. And as Joss said "It's just a TV show, but then again alot of people say the Bible is just a book, it depends on what it means to you. Shiny.
