The only space closet Jayne is in is the one where he stores his guns. Take that as you will.

*cough* Just kinda hope he watches out for the rifling, 'cause that could HURT.

But, eh, he could theoretically be "anything that moves" too. He is the kinda guy ruled by his appetites with not a whole lot of restraint or discretion.

Horray! We always like us some more fanfic. Bizarre humour is joyous.

I actually agree with this post. Firefly was my first tv show and I am completely broken over it's loss. There's just one thing: right now every episode of firefly is amazing. The are brilliantly written and performed. BUT if firefly continued, we wouldn't have the perfect firefly that we have. Every tv show has bad episodes and so would firefly. These bad episodes would lower firefly to the level of normal tv. It wouldn't be the most amazing show ever anymore.




The argument made in the article is one thing, but this comment is ridiculous. Saying that if Firefly had stuck around longer we'd have to put up with some bad episodes is like saying, "I'm glad my puppy died, because dogs are best as a puppy and I never had to put up with the bad things that come with having a dog." No one says that (even me, and I generally loathe pets). I would gladly accept a few dud episodes in exchange for more Firefly. I really enjoy the show community right now and a few weeks ago they had, in my opinion, their first bad episode. I didn't say, "darn, if only someone had had the foresight and grace to kill the show in it's first season." I said, "oh, well, next will be awesome." And it was.

The only show I wish had ended earlier, off the top of my head, was Friends. That show went on about three seasons too long.

on the globe that gave me birth.
Let me rest my eyes on the fleecy skies
and the cool, green hills of Earth.

Hey Mouse, welcome aboard friend, if you post your fanfic at fanfiction . net and I deem it good, you might be getting some happy reviews from me, I read and review over there, I'm well known in the Firefly section as a reviewer. We might run into each other over there if its stuff that I like.

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long, and you have burned so very very brightly, Firefly!

Really, Serenity was SO amazing... like Empire... did we really want Firefly lasting long & goin' all Jedi on us with who is who's heretofore unknown brother & whatnot??
