And I got all sorts of new switches. I love the switches and the buttons that light up.

I hope he's still got his three switches.

and a certain red button.

If things are changing a bit, he's the one behind the changes; since he strikes me more as a master of his art than a capricous dimwit without any sense of his audience, I'm guessing all the changes are made as a part of the continuing process of manifesting a complex artistic vision. You love that vision. And he knows you do.

So stop fretting, let the folks do their job, and trust that it'll be wonderful.

'Cause it will be.

Well, to quote Jewel Staite at DreamCon:

Quote:

Q: Is the new ship anything like the old one??

Jewel: Yes.

Q: They kept it the same??

Jewel: Yes. Somewhat. Umm, there's a couple things that are different. It was tweaked a little bit, even though Joss didn't want it to be. Umm, but, it looks good. It's just looks, it's just looks like we have a little more money and we, you know, we have a big studio behind us.

So, it was not Joss' idea to change Serenity. The changes are not part of his "artistic vision." I am not bothered that there are changes, I am bothered that the changes are not Joss' idea.

According to what AT said, the changes are that the halls are a little wider and they don't cut themselves on sharp edges on the sets anymore. Those sound like changes that maybe the set designer came up with to improve working conditions (as Alan said - it's now SAFER) for the actors. (start sarcastic voice) Gee, that's just awful. I'm definitely not going to go see the movie now. (end sarcastic voice).

Apathy on the Rise. No One Cares.

Spoilerish Response

I think we are getting a subtle information campaign from the set. It's becoming apparent that the studio is requiring at least some Star Wars/Trek affects if they are going to spend this kind of money on a Sci-Fi Movie. We were warned about the mule changing and then we got some photos that included it. Now we have gotten lots of warnings about the ship and that can't be an accident since most of these statements have been prefaced by the person saying "Well if I say too much Joss will kill me ...But the ship has changed." So I won't like it if they get more stereotypical with the sets but I can live with it as long as they stay out of the script.

The View is Askew

Certain improvements are to be expected -- story-line wise, even. 6 months later, Mal better be listening to Kaylee a bit more about what Serenity needs to keep flying and even letting her make a few improvements. Captain can't be dumb (hard-headed, yes, dumb, no) and should have learned something from his experience with the catalyzer in Out of Gas. I'm hoping for allusions to Kaylee-driven upgrades in the script to explain the changes to Serenity. And the sale of the Lassiter has to have been lucrative. Hoping to hear all about that, too...

Where did I read the post about the vines in the kitchen still being there? It's here on Haken's site, somewhere.
