Comments on: My turn for what? http://topofcool.com/blog/2005/10/02/my-turn-for-what/ You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

I’ll let you know when we figure out a time/place/whatnot. Farscape really captured me with the pilot episode. Jim Henson does aliens in a serious, plot driven show. Now, I’ve only seen maybe 4 episodes, but I think it’s safe to say I’ll not have wasted money buying it.

I’m rather fond of Book too… He presented… hmm… repentance in action? It’s truly difficult for me to pin down exactly why I like Book. Wash and Zoe are officially the best married couple portrayal I’ve ever seen in a show, that contributes for me, but my primary reason for Wash, I think he reminds me of ‘Halo Flametree’ from the Star Wars Campaign.

I had the opportunity to watch Firefly presented to me by a friend who owns the DVDs. The watching happened in random bursts with short notice (i.e. a day or so). Bursts of 3-4 episodes. The fact that I’m kinda dating this girl, and the fact that she loves the series (and the movie, we’re going again soon) leads me to believe there will be many more viewings of Firefly. And some Farscape when I pick up the Starbursts.

Double Top of Cool awarded for the movie. It *deserves* it. I should install a picture editor again so I can start making the awards.

Sometime in person or on IM with you I’ll have to try to figure out some of what they were after… there was one in specific which I *will* not reveal for my desire not to spoil. Maybe I’ll remember more when I go again.

Definately a *must see* show.

There’s been a lot of good cinema this year. And there looks to be more coming.

There are probably an assortment of “answers” that, had they been included in the movie would do nothing but detract from the movie’s story.

Anyway…

So when did you see Firefly? I am saddened that there was a mass viewing of Firefly and I missed it. I guess I’m not cool enough, yet. :(

But yeah, Serenity.

Everyone should go see it. So, I think this film gets two “Top of Cool” awards from us.

(Wash is your favorite character? He is my second favorite. The Shepherd is my absolute favorite. I guess we both were… “rewarded” by the film for our appreciation. 😉

Yes, you’re very correct, there are many important serene moments throughout the film. My apologies. As for the name of the ship and the Battle of Serenity Valley, I’m well aware, I’ve seen the series once. Will see it more times, that’s for sure.

I should have duly thought about the first thing to truly strike me as a great thing about the film before titling my entry. After all, that Title is a wonderful ‘serenity’.

In defense of the people I was sitting with at the movie, they were complaining not about it answering too few questions, but because it answered the wrong questions in their minds. I’m at a loss for which questions it was they wanted answers to.

Reavers… yes, I felt that movie was well spent on the topic. The very fact that Reavers *remained* as creepy, evil, crazy evil as they seemed *when we hadn’t seen them yet* is a sign that Joss Whedon deserves some very nice words.

I made one hell of a mistake with my title then. I’ll be more careful in the future.
