#1 Is Firefly your favourite TV show ever?
Yes, by virtue of being one of the few worlds I'd actually want to live in.
Writer H. Beam Piper created the only other future I'd want to be more than a spectator in.
#2 Is Serenity your favourite movie ever?
No, and I like it less and less over time.
The first half still rocks, the ending, not so much.
#3 Is Serenity your favourite spaceship design ever?
Welllll.....Serenity is a comfortable 1930's era tramp steamer in space. I guess not.
#4 Does the writing in FF/S surpass most all other TV/movie writing?
Mostly, yeah.
#5 Does FOX suck for its handeling of the show more than for its slanted news coverage?
Their news coverage is irrelevant; the mis-handling of Firefly is a milestone in network-suits' stupidity regarding the product they're in charge of.
#6 Could Mal beat up Han Solo?
A draw; Fillion patterned his fighting/getting beat up style on Harrison Ford.
#7 Do you respect Joss Whedon's decision to kill off characters in the movie?
No, and HELL NO! I've already posted many times about my disdain for gratuitously killing beloved characters to create "peril" or "drama" in a piece of entertainment.
#8 Is Inara's not-overly-smallish shuttle design cooler than that of the classic Colonial Viper or TOS Trek shuttlecraft?
Apples to oranges; Inara's shuttle served the stories as it should have.
#9 Is Kaylee hotter than Princess Leia?
River/ Cameron/ Orwell knocks both of them out of the running.
#10 Did you get goosebumps the first time you witnessed the young Ms. Tam become River The Reaver Slayer?
The hack-and-slash Reaver fight doesn't do much for me, but the Maidenhead Bar fight where River takes out EVERYBODY including Jayne is my all-time-favorite fight scene EVER!

#1 Is Firefly your favourite TV show ever?
Yes, obviously. I'm not on any other TV show websites. :)

#2 Is Serenity your favourite movie ever?
One of, certainly. Favorite? It's in the top five, definitely.
Quote:
#3 Is Serenity your favourite spaceship design ever?
Hmmmm... Tough one. I love it; it feels like "home", somehow. But it's not the prettiest, or the coolest, or the fastest, or... But it's the BEST, isn't it?
Quote:
#4 Does the writing in FF/S surpass most all other TV/movie writing?
Absolutely. *Almost* all other TV/movie writing.

Nothing sucks more than Fox's "news" coverage. But their handling of Firefly is right up there.
Quote:
#6 Could Mal beat up Han Solo?
Even if Han shot first, Mal could take him.

#7 Do you respect Joss Whedon's decision to kill off characters in the movie?
I understood Book, but didn't feel Wash moved the story ahead. But I hated Joss a little bit for each of them. :( Bad Joss - BAD! Now go to your room!

#8 Is Inara's not-overly-smallish shuttle design cooler than that of the classic Colonial Viper or TOS Trek shuttlecraft?
Very much so. The fact that a Firefly's shuttles look like little beetles or ladybugs just make them that much cooler. And Inara's has - ahem - assets that no Viper or Galileo ever offered. ;)
Quote:
#9 Is Kaylee hotter than Princess Leia?
On her worst day, Kaylee is so much hotter than Leia (even the harem-girl Leia when she was with Jabba). Plus, Kaylee can DO stuffs. Like fix engines and get you out of places. Leia can only whimper while her planet go boom.

#10 Did you get goosebumps the first time you witnessed the young Ms. Tam become River The Reaver Slayer?
And how. I still get goosebumps when she says "Miranda", because I know that behind-the-back-and-around-the-pole kick is coming.

Thanks for your participation.
# 2 - No. I wish Joss had conferred w/ me before hand, and worked out a couple of details.
# 3 - No. Functional, but boxy. I know, she's a cargo ship, and likely can carry more than the Falcon, but she's a beautiful UPS truck.
# 7 - HELL no. And screw all this talk of " it brings a realism to the story...blah blah blah". Dammit, I WANT the fantasy!I WANT the happy ending! Hell, if I can't have it, someone should be able to.
# 9 - Sadly, no. The golden bikini strikes again.

YES
Quote:
#2 Is Serenity your favourite movie ever?
YES - I simply love it.
Quote:
#3 Is Serenity your favourite spaceship design ever?
NO - not particularly. I recently drew it and I was trouble with how much detail there is on it. I find it a little too over-worked.
Quote:
#4 Does the writing in FF/S surpass most all other TV/movie writing?
In terms of TV yes it does. Can't say the same thing for the film as there are some wonderfully written films out there.
Quote:
#5 Does FOX suck for its handeling of the show more than for its slanted news coverage?
No. The way fox handles the news is frightening! In fact the way most news covergae is dealt with these days is frightening. Journalism needs a shake up.
Quote:
#6 Could Mal beat up Han Solo?
Now that's a great question! Mal could beat up Han easily; however Indy would wipe the floor with the both of them!
Quote:
#7 Do you respect Joss Whedon's decision to kill off characters in the movie?
Yes. It's classic stuff and it's there for a reason.
Quote:
#8 Is Inara's not-overly-smallish shuttle design cooler than that of the classic Colonial Viper or TOS Trek shuttlecraft?
Yes it is. Not a fan of the viper design and while Inara's shuttle lacks style it has the distinct advantage of having... Well Inara in it!
Quote:
#9 Is Kaylee hotter than Princess Leia?
Hmm. Another great question. I think on reflection I can't really consider Kaylee as cute. I mean c'mon, doing it in the engine room!!! That aint exactly the act of a nice cute girl... But as for who is hotter... Probably Leia.
Quote:
#10 Did you get goosebumps the first time you witnessed the young Ms. Tam become River The Reaver Slayer?
Not goosebumps so much but I felt similar to the way I did when Buffy whooped the Judges arse in the second season of Buffy. I guess thrilled!

Thanks for your participation.
Pleasure!

1. Yes.
2. No, I don't really like it very much, a few good moments and ideas but mostly not my cup of tea.
3. I Like the Serenity ship but I don't have an opinion on whether it is better or not in design.
4. The show, yes, the movie, no.
5. Life happens, it wasn't a very smart decision to cancel Firefly but they didn't know it would become a sensation.
6. I have never watched all of Star Wars, just parts, but Mal would totally win over Han Solo, Mal's way cooler in my opinion and a good fighter.
7. No I don't respect it.
8. Again I don't really have an opinion about the shuttle comparison.
9. I definitely think Kaylee is prettier than Laea. Byte's comment on that made me laugh, of course Kaylee's hotter, down next to the engine all the time. :)
10. I think it was cool that River got to fight the Rievers, it was a little too much to believe that she could take all of them down by herself, but cool that she got to fight them/take part in doing away with them. Yay River! But goosebumps, no sorry.
