    When I took in a family of kittens, we named them Jayne, River, Kaylee, Shepherd Book (but we called him Shep - he was very fluffy and his hair stuck out all crazy), and Badger (I still love the name!). Kaylee is now my brother's, and I kept River and Shep, but his named got changed to Trevor (Neville Longbottom's toad in Harry Potter, to keep my geek cred.) River lives up to her name. She's a crazy little ninja!

    Not sure you had to explain Trevor, y'know! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
    I'd love to be as tough as Zoe, as glam as Inara, as intelligent as River, but deep down... I'm all Kaylee. :heart:

    My beloved says I am a perfect cross between Inara and Kaylee! He's obviously very biased! Zoe's sooo cool....well unless she's all corpsified and gross!

    :heart: Firefly/Serenity!!!

    I was in a special sneak preview when I first saw the movie (the first of like a million times!). Joss was standing right there. It was his birthday, too. The collective gasp in the theatre was amazing. Poor Wash!

    I'm a leaf on the wind T_T

    I bawled like a baby. I remember I saw it on opening night at midnight with a bunch of other browncoats... everyone was gasping and shouting "NOOOOOO!~" I still watch them though, even if my favorite character dies...

    That video is so hilarious! I would totally dump someone for not liking firefly.... I would wonder what is wrong in their brain!! Joss is boss, yo.

    Also, My bf tells me that I am such a Zoe (without the muscles... yet!!). He is a major Wash. ;D

    This video cracked me up, my fiance likes Firefly but hasn't had a chance to fully sit down and watch the whole series. I may spring it on him this weekend. ;)

    Total Whedonite here, love everything he's done and will most likely love everything he touches in the future. He seems to bring a certain magical quality to anything his creative energy touches.

    I cried, bawled and pleaded with Joss when Wash died, I was SO sad. I still tear up when I see him fighting those dinos on his console because I know what's coming.

    One of my favorite shirts ever - and will be getting re-worked when I lose weight:

    I never thought I would be into "Firefly/Serenity" but I am so glad that my husband talked me into watching it. So freaking underrated and under-appreciated, except by the geek world. Introduced me to the lovely Miss Saffron aka Christina Hendricks, who is now my goal weight/look ideal. To me, that is a real woman :)

    And looking at Mal wasn't a bad thing either ;)

    I love Firefly! I tell everyone about it, even if I think it's not their thing. I have a pewter Serenity keychain too, advertising the nerdiness.

    Alan Tudyk (Wash) is playing Maria Bello's brother in the movie Beautiful Boy.

    I haven't seen any Castle yet (it's not available to rent in the UK) but I have seen several clips which have FF/S references, e.g. him dressing up as Mal for Hallowe'en!

    I also like Castle, and the dynamic between Castle and Beckett, but it's not quite the same.

    I'm with you...I watch and rewatch the TV episodes, but won't watch the movie again. I think that killing off Wash was a TERRIBLE thing....and I wasn't crazy about losing the shepherd either. Pissed me off...seemed way too formulaic for Whedon.

    I just watched the episode where Inara had a female client and cracked up every time Jayne said "I'll be in my bunk..."

    And the other where Mal is in a duel ... "a great man...well, I'm just a good man...well, maybe I'm just alright..."

    And the one where Wash is all jealous about Zoe and Mal. "Take me, sir...take me now..."

    So much understated humor in the series, but the movie was too Hollywood for my taste, especially with the loss of Wash.

    P.S. Alan Tudyk was RIOT in the movie Death at a Funeral (the British version)...if you are a Wash fan, you'll enjoy this!
