Joss stripped your amygdala (you know, the part that helps you control your emotions) with the scalpel of Firefly. Now you can't not feel.

An unfortunate side effect is that nobody understands what you are saying. To them you are broken, and many of your posts look like gibberish littered across the boards. Hummingbird.

That's it, I'm going to change my name to "Ocean", no power in the verse can "Burp" me.

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?

Despite the fact that you seriously need to fill in your posts a bit more than just a few disjointed sentences...

I saw the point, and did so before you posted it.

But Joss in all honesty had no idea if his movie or series would continue on afterwards. Hoped, yes. Knew? No.

I doubt the underlying theme you are implying is really there. It's like saying, "Hey! There are handcuffs on River. That means we were being shackled by the TV execs at Fox when they cancelled our show." Your mind can input any meaning it likes into any object, it's part of being human and creative. The only way you'll know what Joss was thinking when he did that is to ask him directly. Or get ESP. The second suggestion being more likely.

Joss is deep, but I doubt he's THAT deep. Or at least he's deep in something... Get him a shovel.

Love the movie, love to be entertained.

Imbue. The word you're looking for is imbue.

I get what you're trying to say and I think everyone else is taking it far too literal. When I read the first post I knew what you meant and got the sly sarcasm behind it...at least I view it as slight sarcasm at any rate I agree with you that Joss can in fact be compared to blue sun and us to river. Consider this people: When you see a leaf on the wind do you not get a bit sad? There are a whole list of those on another thread, but my point is life...and things like leaves remind us of the verse. They are our "fruity oaty bar commercials" that stimulate us to be reminded of something we've experienced because that something was in fact so profound for some of us that it can't be forgotten or ignored. That is what I at least got out of the post. Feel free to rip me a new one now if you wish.

Nicely put. Too bad the 12 year old kid who started this thread didn't just explain, instead of giving us the Oracle shtick.

Don't get me wrong, I love cleverness and sarcasm as much as the next immature mature person(hell, I'm a Whedon fan), but it's the whole "I've Come Up With a Clever, Yet Vague Analogy and If You Don't Get It You Should Probably Point Your Browser at MatlockFans.Net Instead of Here" attitude that irritates me.

That being said, kudos to the 12 year old for a clever analogy.

Sorry I didn't hold your widdle hands, and blow your snotty little noses. I thought it would be more fun to sit back, and let you figure it out on your own.

Kudos to those who got it, and to Don for making my coke go up my nose.

"Imbue" lmao

I didn't care too much for Early the first time viewing that episode, but he's like a car wreck, you just can't look away.

AM I NOT MERCIFUL?!?!?!?
