firefly

If anyone is a Firefly or Serenity Brown Coat out there, make yourself known. I haven't been so into a show since SATC, but this one has me hooked. I love the stories, the wit, the sarcasm and the character developement. You're going to hear about this show in future posts, but that's only because I want all of you to love it the way I do. Embrace the geekiness of getting into a sci-fi fantasy realm, where the crew will make you laugh, cry and groan.

Last night we were watching Out of Gas - which is an episode that goes into the history of how most of the crew met and came aboard. We already had an episode dedicated to how Simon, River and Shepherd Book landed on Serenity, so it was nice to get some more background on the rest of them. Out of Gas really made me appreciate Kaylee's genius - as she just has a natural aptitude for mechanics. If you never saw this episode, you might assume that she trained to repair ships, but in fact, she just knows how to fix them without batting an eye. She's so sweet (as long as you ignore how Mal originally discovered her) and she seems so innocent, but them out of nowhere you see a woman in her and that woman makes outrageous statements. Kaylee is someone that I would be friends with - and not just because we were stuck on a ship together. I admire intelligent people who do not put airs, but shock the heck out of you when they show their brilliance.

I will only have 14 episodes of Firefly and one movie to think about, as the show has been cancelled, but I imagine that someday our DVD collection will resemble the ship, Serenity - tore-up plenty, but they'll still fly true.

Y'all stay shiny, now.
