This is how dumb I can be sometimes. I'm listening to the voiceover at the beginning, going, "I know that voice. Who is that?" And then I realize, he's on the show. Yeah.
Last week they open with Chinese checkers. This week it's basketball. Hee. I want to see Inara play.
A Firefly/Farscape crossover is just waiting to happen.
Kaylee's sporting cleavage. Now, while I'm sure there are plenty of people who are pleased just by that, I like that they're not consistently hiding her behind dirt and grease and coveralls because she's the token gadget girl.
Oh my God. Doug Savant is guest starring.
I like Wash. I didn't get to see much of him last week, so I couldn't really form an opinion. This week's opinion is very favorable. He's cool.
Speaking of characters I can't form opinions of yet (I *need* that first real ep), I may have to hit Book. Give him something to say that's not all preachy just because it's his job.
Also, River. I'm sure if I saw the original premiere I would be sympathetic, or something. As it is now, I'm just kind of annoyed. Of course, opinions can always change.
And Jayne's a jerk. Yet I totally love him.
I need to learn Chinese, just to know what they're all saying.
"Lotsa mercy. Lots and lots of...
The Reavers? I was sufficiently creeped, and we never even got to see them. All I knew was what I read in some article somewhere, and I was freaked. Especially since you only get to hear about them. The only glimpse you actually get of them is what the survivor guy does to himself, and there's just one shot of him.
"Jayne. You'll scare the women." Okay, I really really like Zoe. I'm a big fan of tough chick role model types, and Zoe definitely fits into it. She's so understated and cool about everything, I really like that.
"Besides, if I mess up, it's not like you'll be able to yell at me."
For the record, I've twice used "gorram" in everyday speech. Just shoot me now. Between Farscape and now this, I think by around 2005 my speech will consist of nothing but made up languages.
Gah. Okay, Matt from Melrose Place joined the Alliance. My willing suspension of disbelief is off in a corner giggling somewhere.
The interrogations. Kaylee still burning over Serenity being called junk, Jayne just sitting there, Wash describing Zoe in detail...
I still want their kitchen chairs.
They name the planets after Persephone and Hera. Oh my God, I love this show.
There's a cannibal on the loose, and I for one, was kind wigged. When River's trying to keep Simon out of the room (I need to learn names for rooms), I was screeching at the TV for him to just shut up and listen to her.
Mal's got a Han Solo stripe on his pants. Also, blood on them. That being said, him killing the survivor guy was kinda cool.
If I have nightmares about Reavers tonight, I'm suing Tim Minear.

I absolutely love Zoe, too. I like the tough chick vibe she has. I liked her interview a lot, too, especially in contrast with her husband.
Simon is great. Not only is he eye-candy, but he has the personality I like in a guy.
I really liked this episode. I did like the Western style of the first, but the eerie vibe of this one really worked for me too.
Oh, and I like River when she was excited about hiding in space while her brother was freaked. I am intrigued about what could happen next. Overall, I really like this show, and I cannot wait till next week.

Another great episode. the basketball scene at the ebginning reminded me of an scene from an Andromeda episode. I loved that Kaylee line. Book is becoming more interesting (and it helps I watched Serenity again today). Jayne loves playing jokes on Simon. The Alliance ship showing up creeped me out and then I was in awe at the size of the thing compared to the Serenity. This show is becoming so addictive that I might have to start my own Firefly fansite. have a better one.
Be Seeing You,

Stop it! You're trying to make me fall in love with you!
I totally want their kitchen chairs too.
Kaylee is the coolest girl in the world and I totally want to be her.
I'm starting to think Blue Sun is some kind of school for not too bright mercenary types.
I didn't actually hate River this episode. She smiled in the face of infinity. In the face of the very thing that caused the Reavers to lose their minds in the first place. Very cool. Now if she'd only learn to use complete sentences.
And if it makes my boyfriend smile like that, playing jokes on the doc is just fine with me.

And hey, the way I see it, it gave Simon something to *do*, other than just protect River, which leads to character development and I'm completely BSing cuz I was totally into Jayne's smile.

Firefly and Farscape could NEVER cross over. They do not exist in the same creative universe.

My favorite part was the interviews/interrogations; each character acted very differently in the interview, they were very much themselves, and it annoyed the interviewer. The best were Kaylee rambling on about mechanical things and junk and Jayne just not saying anything. Kaylee is so cute, especially with dirt and grease on her face.
It’s a big mystery how all these people got together. Maybe that’s in the pilot. The captain, Mal, seems especially protective of Kaylee. He treats her like his daughter. Maybe it’s because she is young and he doesn’t think she should be part of his reckless operation. Maybe that was something addressed in the original pilot?
Jayne annoyed me at first but now I see that he's a contradiction, he amuses me. He's the tough guy but such an easy target for ridicule. He played the mean high school bully trick on Simon, but then Simon repaid him at least twice later on with some comments that everyone understood.

Would anyone be surprised if the Reavers were more work of the Allience Blue Hands gone horribly wrong?

I never even considered an Alliance/Reavers connection!! Very interesting.
My favorite humorous moment has to be the Zoe to Jayne line "You'll scare the women." Could that line have been delivered any more perfectly!!!
Scariest moment-Yes, the Reavers creeped me out terribly-even though we never even saw them! But for scariest moment, my heart actually skipped a beat when Mal climbed the stairs and saw Simon and River hiding in the hallway with the Alliance right there. I cannot believe how emotionally invested I am in these characters already!
Favorite Character-Wash. But I want more, more, more!!
Can't wait for next week. Sure do wish we could have seen the original plot like Joss wanted! And we need to find someone who speaks chinese!
