OK, cool. You're not just trying to create buzz, are you?
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Nope. Though if I wanted to, I could take lessons from the fly that's managed to get trapped in my lightshade.

No, the other kind. Funny, though. Or is that an American expression? Where you try to be mysterious or shocking or something to get people talking around the water cooler.

Hey, Angus--I just sent you an email from my uni address because Yahoo locked me out before I could write down your address. If you could re-send it to that address that'd be great.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
FTR: Joss; Marti; Jane Espenson; and Doug Petrie all do commentaries worth listening too (at least once). The Greenwalt and Fury commentaries should be avoided.

I knew you meant the other kind-- but yeah, I think it's American. It's one of those ones that I understand, but wouldn't normally use myself.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'
I liked Petrie's commentary on Fool for Love -- but anyone responsible for my favourite episode of all time has to be worth listening to. What's wrong with Fury and Greenwalt?
And I liked Marti's commentary generally -- her stuff about the huge flood of extras out there who are desperate for a part brought home the toughness of the business -- but I still thought talking about JM's love life like that was icky.

Great writers but incredibly dull at doing commentaries.

To every idea a shelf...

I agree that those four do more enjoyable commentaries, but I still think the others are worth listening to. In my opinion the only truly boring commentary is the one done by the director of Consequences - memfaulting on his name.
Joss and Doug Petrie are my favourites, because they tell you interesting stuff and are funny. I already loved Joss, but Petrie's commentaries made me develop a fangirl crush on him. I love how he's always pointing out the things he ripped off from other sources. "This intercutting was inspired by - by which I mean ripped off from - Reservoir Dogs." Hee!
