This is cool. I think Kaylee and Simon each relates with Radar, in a way. Kaylee and Radar both display a form of ESP. Radar preconceives his boss's needs and Kaylee intuits her boat's needs.

Oh, and I love the River-Klinger connection. Also, Mulcahy-Book both have some unexpected fighting skills. (Although Mulcahy's boxing experience is not quite as impressive.)

Truth. Though now that you mention the Radar ESP I'm all of a sudden thinking River again. Who'd have thought that Iowa farm boy would be so complicated. Nah River/Klinger is still to good a concordance.

Well, this has gotten as strange as The Muppets thread, which I love. I really see no connection with the whole MASH thing so I won't comment on that.

I will however welcome yet another recruit to the fold. You 'll love our Verse Yarnzift. As someone said, Welcome, we weird.

good to know there's other MASH fans around, although I hope we're refering to the Altman movie and not the show?

This is so weird - ages ago I was thinking how the two shows are kinda similar. Has anyone read the last script Dead Or Alive, it never got filmed but it's a great read.

Spoiler ahead if you haven't read it:

Select to view spoiler:

In it, the crew are staying on a small border planet that gets bombed, and they have to help out with the casualties. A makeshift medical tent is set up and Simon goes about tending to the victims of the bomb.

There's no real obvious MASH references in it that I can think of but it made me think of that show nevertheless. Later on I was considering ways in which Joss could do a spin-off of Firefly and I thought it would be great if they did a 'MASH-in-space' type show - maybe set in the war, or in a new war that breaks out post BDM. Simon would work as a trauma surgeon again in one of the Independant's camps, out on a border planet safe from the Alliance, possibly with the help of Kaylee, Inara, River. And Mal, Zoe, and Jayne would go off on their campaigns with the newly reformed Independants to try and take down the Alliance. I include Jayne as he seems to have developed an urge to fight for a good cause since the movie.

Anyway, I loved this idea and thought it would be a great basis for a show. I loved MASH, it was one of those great comedies that could be silly, but was really well acted and wasn't afraid to go to dark places too. Just like our show.

We're still flying.

That's not much.

It's enough.
