This was posted by Joss on the buffista board...

Hey guys. Sorry to go wildly off-topic (and bring up Firefly), but I need a favor. I tried to post something on Fireflyfans.net discussion about "Fireflygasms" (no, it's not as shippery as it sounds.) Anyhoo, I can't seem to log in, 'cause I work the computer like I'm wearing Strongbad's gloves and I really wanted to post something there. So I'm gonna write it out here and hope 'n' pray (to the meaningless void) that one of y'all will be kind enough to kick it over to that thread. Okay then:

______________________

Dear fan type postguys --

Checking in to say: Rough @%&$#ing week. Trying to work the movie deal, juggling so many balls and dropping them all, basically ending the week going, "I'm done. I'm tapped. Last man down, I don't even think I can do this." Then I hap on this thread, hear all those kick moments and all y'all cooing over them, and I remember why I'm fighting so hard. So when you here dorky sounding things like "The fans' support kept us going", know that on occasion it is not only literally but very specifically true. As in, today. Thanks already.

And, more importantly:

-- Inara on the bed in Mal's room saying "I just hit my head is all". Deep funny.

-- River on the railing. Batgirl!

-- "Little man Loooved fire."

-- "They were little geisha dolls with big heads that wobbled!" "People LOVE those!" Kai made me rewind that four times.

-- "Dear Diary. Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy."

-- "Have you ever been with a warrior woman?"

-- "She ain't moving." When you think Kaylee's talking about Zoe and realize she means Serenity. And every time the lights first flicker in that show I've forgotten what ep I'm in and I get very worried.

-- The part where the crew finds out about River's REAL... oh wait. That's the movie. Never mind.

Or mind in a while.

Thanks again.

The first three off the top of my head are all from "Our Mrs. Reynolds."

I like the whole "Special Hell" exchange between Book and Mal. Then as Saffron seduces Mal he says,"I'm going to the Special Hell."

The Good Bible/Good Myth lines.

Jayne, "You gotta a wife! All I got was that dumb stick, sounds like its raining."

Then there's "War Stories"

When Mal is keeping Wash going during the initial torture session.

Then when Mal slaps the torture machine on the Niska's henchman, looms up off the table and says to Niska, "So you want to know the real me!."

Then at the end when Zoe says, "Take me, Sir. Take me hard." The way they're holding hands it almos t looks like they're about to start ballroom dancing.

In "Shindig"

Zoe: "I think he knows which end (of a sword) to hold."

Wash's impromptu poetry about his dearly departed Zoe ..."All corpsified and grotesque."

After River's speech to Badger when Jayne says, "That right there was the kind of diversion we could've used."

When Mal comes back and Jayne says,"We were just about to spring into action...."

"Train Job"
The scence where Jayne tries to take over, but it's too late because the doctor has arlready drugged him. And he collapses mid-mutiny. They tried to get him to his bunk but couldn't and leave him on the landing. Where he's in perfect postion to shoot Crow.

There are too many. Gotta be like three or four a show.

I never thought Kaylee was talking about Serenity when she said that.... now I get to rewatch!

Just a short hop off-topic:

STATIC: Just wanted to hop in and say it makes me well up with pride and all manner of other fuzzy emotions that there is at least one Browncoat who Gets It patrolling our sky, spreadin' the word, and sticking it to the Reavers! May the wind be at your back...or under your rotors (all hail Bernoulli!)...or something like that. Keep Flyin'!!

And, as for 'gasms, I have to go (today) with the way the "old saying" in "The Message" is never completed till the end of the episode, when we've 'earned' it. Bit of a workout for the old tear ducts.

That, and the fact that Joss is able to draw some psychic juju from us fans. The gods know, he's bestowed more than our share to us!

I've loved all read in this thread...and

--the hair scare. River's reaction to Book's 'fro.

and the one I've repeated the most to show the humor while trying to recruit new fans...

Jayne in the orange hat with straw still stuck on it, leaning over the casket while everyone (including the music) is somber...he sniffs & says "what'd ya guys order up a dead guy for?"

Objects in Space. The whole thing. Wow. "Well, here I am." Powerful stuff!

The sudden shot of Inara bawling in Heart of Gold was a beautifully poignant slap in the face that really made the episode for me.

"I was aimin' for his head!" Cracks me up every time.

The crew's reaction at the start of Our Mrs. Reynolds was as priceless as it was real. The look on Inara's face when Mal complains that he's the only one who doesn't find the situation funny was perfect. Man, that was/is a perfect cast!

Mal kicking Crow through the engine at the end of The Train Robbery made a fan of me. Mal's "I don't believe he does," made it for life.

Kaylee's experience at the party in Shindig, from "Yes sir, Cap'n Tightpants!" to questioning the buffet table to being saved by the gentleman to holding court with the men; I loved every minute of it.

Yeah, I gotta go with this one, too. The point-blank, sharp-edged violence of the wrench blow just knocked me off the couch. I thought Jayne's eyeballs would be rolling over the grating and into the greasy void. (But can I have 197 other choices . . . ?)

one of the 'high' points of "Serenity" was the shooting of Patience's horse ..
