Well i'd actually never heard of the series before, until I got the movie. I still didn't know it was part of a series until watching the special features and they started talking about the show.
Watching the movie first wasn't bad for me, however it was like dropping into a book halfway through. As I watched the series a lot of the setting the movie was in got explained to me.
The movie hooked me in the opening scene of serenity dropping through the atmo, and the buffer panel falls off. I do a lot of wheeling and parts fall off my truck all the time. It's nice to know stuff breaks in the future

Welcome, Bibbledy! Outstanding choice of nick there!
As an(other) engineer, I have never been called a "good boy", nor have I called anyone a "good girl". However, I would certainly join Kaylee in referring to any ship I was in charge of like that... as long as she was behaving herself. (My ship, I mean, not Kaylee!)

I don't disagree on any particular point.

Hi Doncoat (cool nick you have, too!),
Thanks for the welcome! I certainly wouldn't mind if it were Mal saying "good girl" to me when I fixed something, and I had one boss who would say it and I didn't mind, but another boss who did and I hated it. But bosses are like that--most I either loved or hated. Now I have no boss--I'm an independent consultant, and I love it!
As for saying "good girl" to a ship or other well-performing vehicle--right on!! You must talk to your car or computer or router. Patting her on the dashboard helps, too, I find. But I've learned from my mistakes--yelling if she stops working only makes her mad and it takes twice as long to fix her.

Also in the post, some new 8 x 10 glossies for FollowMal and the Appreciators. Don't be grabbing those until she has a chance to review them for eyelashes.
Later...

Oooo, Bun, look at the pretties! Thank you ma'am!
How come you don't come visit us over at the Appreciator's Bun? You know we'd love to have you!
And your 8 by 10 glossies! We have some to share back over there.
Mmmm, chocolate ice planets... my favorite.

And sure, FF/Serenity is lightyears ahead of DA, but DA is still great, IMnot-soHO.
Mal and Max, my two favourite sci-fi heroes.

Back when I had "technician" in my title, a friend of mine used to say that I took it as a personal insult if a machine wasn't working properly.
Now I guess that applies to the machines I design, too.
