The same outrageous thought crossed my mind but then with Joss at the helm it wouldn't be a religion but a philosophy. Anyone who references Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea is not going to lead the flock astray, let alone write another broken bible.

Noah's ark is a problem. We'll have to call it "early quantum state phenomenon." Only way to fit five thousand species of mammal on the same boat.

One man's philosophy is another man's religion.

If anybody couldn't tell, I wasn't at all serious about that last post... although I have read Dianetics. It's a pretty interesting read, but I won't be having any silent births to alien babies in the future.

Nice job converting your daughter there History.

I didn't for one moment think you were serious. All I was trying to say is that Joss seems to think deeply about things and I can think of worse leaders.

Despite ploughing my way through The God Delusion I still feel uneasy about upsetting the devout - as many of my friends are. But was Mr Hubbard serious? I didn't for one moment think he was either but look what happened there. No let's not think about it. I would rather ponder on all things Joss.

There are so many brilliant quotes in his work - it's better than poetry for a philistine like me. Joss's Little Book of Aphorisms - I would buy it! :-)

How many come from Joss, how many from the episode writers and how many from the cast? Whatever, they are brilliant. The one about the cows forgetting what they were supposed to be is really bugging me at the moment. I'm sort of thinking - have I forgotten who I am supposed to be? But that's another story.

As long as it is Shepard Book and the Rev. Jimmy Wallet giving the sermons...I'm in.

I converted my eldest daughter during her last visit in one step - we watched Firefly episode 1. We finished the series in a marathon viewing that ended at 3:30 in the morning. Now she has her own shiny DVDs.

I am the eldest daughter and yes now I am hooked so thank you Dad!

They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are.

Status report.

My daughter's favorite character in Firefly to-date?
Jayne.

Between schoolwork and college auditions /applications, we've made it through the first two discs by watching "Jaynestown" tonight.
She loved it.
...Except when the "hot guy" (the Mudder young man) threw himself in front of Jayne and got killed.
Her comment: "How come all the hot guys get killed?"

Hmpf. Wait to she sees Jonathan Woodward in "The Message."
She loved the photos I took of (and with) him at B3 in December.

Respectfully,
History
