I love that all of you love the storytelling abilities of Joss Whedon so much that you would go charging headlong off any cliff to the bitter end to see the firefly/serenity storyline thru.
Wish I could say I believed Joss were as dedicated to that end as his fans. Ya know... Jim Jones didn't drink the koolaid. He only had it brewed. When his followers were lying in dying heaps of poisoned people, he tried to escape with a suitcase full of money.
His own Pretorian guard gunned him down. There his followers lay in ultimate blind devotion, and he was running off with the loot.

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

why is it that every one is so very ready to give up? i mean, even if it is unrealistic to hope, which im not convinced it is, how can being optamistic and doing our best to get what more we can HURT?

There ya go.

I never cool off. Burning hot all the way till the grave. It's a car thing.
I dig 70's muscle cars but I drive a modernday Jeep Cherokee. Scratch modern from that sentence.
This may seem like I'm digressing but I'm not. Just trust me. It's germaine.
The engine in my pseudo-Jeep is reverse engineered to run like an engine should ~ or it's most of the way there... sorry jeeps once were those hardcore engine monsters you locked the hubs on and tore up the ground with, not this phony corporate electronic famnilycar-hybrid crap they sell today.
Mine is retooled to run like a real engine (or it's slowly getting there). My Cherokee engine ain't some bastardized piece of crap with cheaply manufactured parts, sensors and chipboards that control all the sensors and require a guy with a $1200 "high-tech" sensor tool to tell you what the ENGINE LIGHT "codes" mean (yeah I put old fashioned gauges in the dash ~ sort of.. long story). I got real heavy metal under the hood.
You prolly have no clue what I'm talkin about... hell I doubt I do anymore, but old school mechanics will.
Trying to live off the grid here.
Bottom line, my engine runs hot, and so do I. I'll go down in flames with it. The fooker is nitro-charge capable. Not that I plan on racing anyone but I just kinda like the option to be able to spin wheels if the need arises.

My next big project is to screw with the electronics. Electric windows are very nice (and convenient), but I like a backup option of a manual crank if the circuit board fries, the wires are unexpectedly corroded by an alien death ray, or (GOD FORBID), shit happens. I still haven't made use of the electronic seat-warming option but electric heating elements in my seat (no matter how comfortable) just smacks of supreme gayness. Think I'm gonna have to rip the high tech seats out and replace them with some cosmic cheekchilling bucket seats.

PS ~ "manual crank" used to be a standard option on vehicles for you younger know-nothing folks.
They called it (back in the days of the ancients) a... (someone record this for posterity)...
a.. "roll up the window". It did'nt have a name. You looked at the person in the nearest seat and simply said "roll up the window". They'd grab the official vertical-adjustment handcrank tool actuated by a series of mechanically rotational crap (directly linked to the upward motion of the glass otherwise known as the window, by nonelectronic devices). Ah. Those were the days.
Pray a fuse never frys while the window is down if you know not of such magic. It will be stuck in such a position and the gods may bring rain or snow down as punishment for lack of obedience. You may end up paying many hundreds of dollars to replace the electronics in your vehicle door where these mystical devices of the gods live.

Actually I just got a brand new Cobalt that doesn't have power windows but rather ancient hand cranks. But then, I've never had a car with power windows.
