themadpokerI watched five more episodes of Firefly! =D Truly I don't understand why I didn't like it before, my reaction's totally flipped. I like pretty much all the characters though I have my reservations with Mal. I know he's a decent person (the climax of nearly every episode seems to come around to that point really) but oh my gosh stop insulting Inara already. Seriously you can't say you respect her just not her career. Her career's a part of who she is! Calling her a whore every two seconds is NOT OKAY. >l
Other things!
+ I wish River and Simon were Chinese so much it hurts. Every time someone says something in Chinese there is the little voice in my head that cries about how there's a million signs of Chinese culture without any Chinese people. Their last names are Tam! It would have been so easy to cast them differently! And plus it would have made Simon seem a little less like the rich privileged white dude character Whedon is so very fond of writing (hay thar Wesley, how you doing?)
+ Sheppard Booook. Ugh I freaked out in that episode where he got shot because fandom never talks about Book so I was genuinely afraid they'd use his wound as an excuse to ship him off with the Alliance never to be heard from again. I LOVE BOOK. HE SHOULD STAY. HE IS A GOOD PERSON AND ALSO HAS AN EXCELLENT SENSE OF HUMOR.
+ Lolololol Jayne. Someday I will come to the middle of taking him seriously too! Right now I am very very far away. :D Also Jayne/Vera OTP 4 LYFE.
+ Inaraaaaaa. Oh my gosh can we be best friends and shop together and hang out forever? You are so pretty and nice and I think I might be putting you on my list of role model human beings. I would fight to defend your honour forever except for if you say you don't want me to in which case I will back the hell down MAL.
+ I just want to re-establish, every time Mal insults Inara I yell at the screen for him to shut the hell up. So if you could stop that Joss Whedon it would do wonders for my voice! Please and thank you!
+ Saffron comes back right? Because I vaguely recall seeing at least a couple fic with her and fandom doesn't generally attach that strongly to a oneshot character. Don't tell me if she doesn't, I'd rather hold on to hope.
+ Kaylee is ADORABLE and I want to sit down and have her school me on mechanics for days. Maybe you can make me less technologically incompetent Kaylee! I will totally buy you every frilly dress you want if you do!
+ Seriously though, I find it kind of hilarious how nearly every episode's end twist is that 'hey guys Mal isn't actually a bad guy!' Whedon, I get it already. Jerk With A Heart Of Gold! I use TV Tropes too you know.
On an unrelated note, I can't stop watching this video.
Ugh, someone stop me, I am two seconds away from downloading the series for a rewatch. I know it isn't as amazing as this video makes it seem! But it makes it look really really amazing. ;_; I was not aware I had this many unresolved Uraboku feelings.

Date: 2011-09-16 05:19 am (UTC)i bought the boxed set and lent it to someone a few years ago who never returned it, and i sort of don't even mind buying it again. you know, after i'm done spending my imaginary money on mandatory textbooks and junk.

Date: 2011-09-16 05:14 pm (UTC)The set's for about 20 bucks on Amazon right now, so it's a decent deal for your imaginary money. =D Or you could just borrow it from the library like I did, they just bought the DVD set. Only downside is this thing called 'returning' which means you might only get up to episode 7 before you have to give it back. Not that I speak from experience or anything. >_>

Date: 2011-09-16 04:09 pm (UTC)You touched on my two major issues with the series (Chinese culture errywhere with basically no Chinese/let alone Asian at ALL people present. Ugh, what? And Mal's idiocy when it comes to Inara.). It tends to make me less rage-y if I tell myself that this show is nearly 10 year old and shit's changed (even if it's not necessarily true...)
And Saffron totally comes back. Aw yeah, Christina Hendricks.

Date: 2011-09-16 05:19 pm (UTC)I know Mal/Inara's a big ship and I totally see where it's coming from but like. I'm going to need Mal to start being a better person first before considering it. I don't approve of this whole 'expressing attraction through insults/fighting' thing when it's so one-sided and the tenor of insults is completely out of line.
Christina Hendricks is everywhere on my tv screens lately! I had a couple hours to gkill the other day and the season 1 Mad Men DVDs so I saw her there and now I hear she's going to be on that new ABC show Pan Am? Though I'm probably not going to watch that one, Mad Men pretty much used up all my tolerance for 'historically justified' sexim. Like I know it's the 1950s but oh my god, such gross people, I need someone to root for in this mess!
