Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

I actually had a teacher say to me that he respected my opinion even if he disagreed with it.

It's one of the things that makes English a wonderful subject. I've had similiar experiences, but the best example I've ever heard was my grandmother's story (she did English as her major subject when she went to collage as a muture student for a teaching degree) about arguing that, contrary to many tradition interpetations which have Desdemona a tragic heroine, she's actually a manipulative bitch (not my grandmother's words, but you get the idea). Her lecturer gave her an A-- one of the few he ever gave out-- partly for taking up a different stance.

Mmmm...English. I'm already doing two courses of it, and would be doing more if I didn't like the idea of being able to afford food after I graduate so much.

But Leigh... starving is so much more fun if you've got lots of happy reading to look back on.

-sigh- the eternal debate...food vs pornliterature. How am I expected to choose between the two loves of my life? I can't help but think that Buffy "I'm made out of cookie dough" Summers wouldn't have this problem. ( The white-font is very vague dialogue-spoiler snark from BtVS 7.22)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So, the UK has just seen the first two eps of Firefly. ("Serenity", in two parts but following directly on from one another). And I really DO love it as much as I thought I would. Quite possibly more. In fact, were it not for the depressing knowledge that it got suffocated by the good people of Fox, and that falling head over heels in love with it would be sheer craziness, then it would be in danger of quickly becoming my very favourite show.

Curse those Fox Bastards. Darn them. Darn them all to heck.

Better to have loved and lost, Fay.

That's what I've been telling myself, because Firefly? I love it. Lots. In many ways. But I know its going to be cruelly ripped away from me.

C'mon! Who cancels a show with britches? Crazy people, that's who.

Now that you know its fate, don't go into it thinking of it as a continuing series. Think of it as a nifty finite series. Maybe that will help.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Fay, I think when it was airing in the US I described it as falling in love with a compulsive parachutist: any day might be the day your beloved went splat. Alas that it did.
