Here’s a fun bit: how far do you get in the Firefly pilot episode Serenity before you see something from Blue Sun (a sign, a product, et cetera), and what was the object in question?
I imagine this will be a regular feature for awhile.
Things I’ve learned from Firefly:
No matter how long they travel together to find a perfect home, a stegosaurus and tyrannosaurus rex can never be friends. Betrayal will be both sudden and inevitable.
Twas the night…
Like many children during the Holiday season, you lay awake, despite the best-laid plans.
See, the idea was that you would go to sleep early; very early, in fact — hoping that if you dozed off, the magick hour would arrive that much sooner.
Anything, anything to make it arrive sooner.
The plan has failed: you lie on your back, staring at the ceiling; waiting, daydreaming of all the wondrous new things just a few hours away. Sleep? You can barely keep from shivering with anticipation.
That jolly old white-bearded man with the gentle smile…
those clever elves and their toys…
Andúril, the Flame of the West, reforged from the shards of Narsil…
Of course I’m talking about the Return of the King’s midnight release; what did you think?

“They’re all beautiful.”
I highly recommend Last Samurai.
Forget everything you’re assuming about it and just go.

Boys and their toys
Warehouse 23 has Stikfas. Play with them. Pose them in spiffy martial-arts maneuvers so they’re balancing on one foot, delivering a kick, or back-flipping. Take the horse and the human and made your own centaur. Buy them. Heck, buy them for me.
A few more short days to Firefly DVD
“As I sit here,” Whedon says today, “I sit next to a computer screen that represents the fact that I have been fighting every single day since we [Firefly] were canceled. If I lose the fight, it will be because the fight was unwinnable and for no other reason.”
Also, the Firefly Episode Guide, Part 1.
Also, sci-fi.com’s got a good interview with Whedon. I especially like his quote about Fox’s decisions with regards to Firefly:
They were so wrong that we may have to create a new word that means wronger. Ultimately, you don’t want to come in saying, “Check out my show. It will be incoherent.” You want to work with the people who are trying to sell the show. And if there had been any people trying to sell the show, I would have.
