Hey FLF!
You don't get me that easily - anyhow - I live on a top secret island that sinks beneath the waves, only rising again when I need to get the car out, so you'll never find me ... aha ahahahaha ha ...
I am so totally overexcited it's scary - went to Ikea with my brother on Saturday (who is also coming to the screening) and we both wound each other up something shocking – much to the consternation and confusion of his girlfriend (he has not shown her firefly as he thinks it makes him look too geeky, *snigger*! yeah, that’s right, it’s firefly that makes him look geeky, not the two linked computers and the original Star Wars figurines gracing his living room, oh no… *heavy irony*) …
Anyway am not sure I going to survive until Wednesday without doing something very stupid, so I’ll leave a note that if I get run over ‘cos I was doing an impression of Wash ‘stead of lookin’ at the road, you can have my ticket ….

Ah very good - I should really get me one of those top secret island things, I only have a castle that flies damnit! Oh, and tell your brother off - Firefly is not geeky!
Does the offer still stand if I'm driving the car........ ?

In that scenario I may have to rethink ...
to parahrase:
Point of interest? Offering to run me over, don't
work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.
Anyway, I've hidden the ticket. So if you kill me, you'll never find it...

I could always kill your brother and steal his ticket! Or you know, you could take me instead cos he's only your brother. I got one. There's not much to shout about.
Do I get my own room?

I was waiting for the 'There could be torture' incentive!!
I actually quite like my elder brother ... mostly ... except when he's refusing to introduce me to his attractive older friends 'cos I'm "too weird"!!!
B@stard - maybe you can have his ticket ... on second thoughts, he can kill me with his brain (allegedly) ...

So, you had any other thoughtful insights - like why she never followed up on what Logan told her about her Mum (sorry Mom)?
I always got the dark impression that the birth mothers were of little use after their 'job' was done, and putting 'em back in the world was a tactical no-no, so I never imagined they lived very long after the transgenic stork came a callin'.
With Max's obsession with finding her brothers and sisters, do you think for a moment she'd rest if she thought her mom was out there? That's why she asked Hannah what she was like, not where she might be; she's been in one particular place for at least 19 years at that point.

BTW, I sent you the pic of my son, see if you can't post it here for Zoot, and anyone that wants to see him, and maybe do some extapolatin' to get an idea about me...

Think about it, She was designed by Sandeman much later than the rest, all with purpose and such, I find it hard to believe that he hadn't seen some of the serotonin mistakes, and that at that point he couldn't correct them, especially in Max. So he let a 'slip' in her DNA through, along with the encoding necessary to correct it at the oppertune moment. If she had been too perfect, it might have drawn attention, and led to testing and restrictions that would have made her '09 escape impossible.
Quote:Okay, so that's the actual reason, but I like mine better!
(or alternatively, the writers hadn’t though about the “all coded DNA” thing and needed a hook to make the streetwise, all powerful, girls-kick-arse heroine a little bit vulnerable in the first few episodes ….

Oh, Chrisisall, you keep suckering me with that "ask your opinion" thing...
So here goes. I liked Tru Calling, although certainly not as much as a Whedon show. Personally, I thought the first half of season one dragged a little and I wondered what they would do to keep it fresh. Shouldn't have worried about that! A little past the halfway point of season one, they introduce the plot point hinted at, and things get really interesting. The season finale is mind-blowing, and then season 2 (six episodes) keeps up the frantic pace until it finishes abruptly. Note that Jane Espenson joins as a writer for second season.
Overall, it was well worth watching, especially factoring in the last ten or so. Some of the characters were a little dull or predictable at first, but by the end I liked them all (those that made it). And the concepts were awesome. (I read on-line some spoilerish comments about dangling threads here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/tightropegirl/)
On a different topic from another thread, Chrisisall, be sure to watch S4 of Angel. In for a penny, in for a pound!

Let's see, Jacqui, Zoot, FLF, and Cisall.
Why don't more GUYS take an interest in DA?
Sickdude and Grounded pop in, but aren't so determined.
Another thing, in most shows, I identify with the male characters. Xander in Buffy, Wash and Mal in FF, Caine in Kung Fu. But in DA, I don't identify with Logan or Alec; I identify with Max. Is that odd?
Do you ladies here do the same? Or do any of you identify with Alec (when you're not drooling over him)?
When I was a kid, I always preferred playing with girls more than boys. I guess that's why I really like these DA threads.

I identify mostly with female characters. I can't say as I've ever really felt an affinity with any male characters... maybe one or two aspects of one, but I really do find links with the females of shows.
