Firefly/Serenity thread

[Lies and Perfidy]

Cause I know Max, at least, likes this show and therefore gets ten points.

Some of the best off-HBO television in years. Joss Whedon has the best ear for dialogue in the business (the reason Buffy was terrible is because his brilliant skills was going towards reproducing the dialogue of high-schoolers), and the aesthetic of the universe is the coolest sci-fi shit ever.

If you haven't seen it, imagine the post-Civil War American aesthetic (as replicated in Tombstone or Deadwood), set in a spacefaring society several hundred years in the future, with a touch of wry humor and excellently developed characters. Then quit imagining based on my woefully incomplete description, and go rent Firefly (the TV show) or Serenity (the movie.) The movie comes second, but you don't need to have seen the show to watch it.

The Firefly MMO may consume my very existence.

I <3 Firefly.

When I heard the Firefly DVD set had an extra episode, I was like "ZOMG!" and bought it instantly.

Serenity was also awesome. When the hell is the sequel coming out?

 

[Captain Beard]

I should see it some time. All of it.

 

[Anvil]

Serenity is fucking awesome... And I have yet to watch any Firefly, but it is on my list of pick-ups.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

awesome stuff! Mal rules

 

[Captain Beard]

is that a 9mm in your signature or are you high?

Happy almost 12k (and will be if you reply) Kriggus.

If nothing else, see "Our Mrs. Reynolds," the third episode, cause Christina Hendricks is really fucking hot.

 

[Captain Beard]

I'd fuck her tits.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Serenity is good, but the show is soooo much better. Seriously, this would easily be my favorite show if there was more than one season.

oh hell yeah. The second episode she's in is even better, i forget what its called, but its my favorite episode. Its the one where they steal the gun.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

started to watch firefly but got really drunk and lost interest awhile back

whedon however did write a goddamn mean astonishing x-men run. YEAH COMICS.

 

[Captain Beard]

I thought you were a fag for for Batman.

"Zoe, you and Simon rope them together; five or six of them, I want them laid out on the front of our ship. Put Book front and center, he's our friend, we should honour him. Kaylee, find that kid that's taking a dirt nap with baby Jesus - we need a hood ornament. Jayne, try not to steal any of their shit!"

ahahahahhahaha the outtakes are the best

PULL OVER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
DO YOU WANNA DRIVE THIS THING?

Whedon's X-Men run was fucking brilliant, now that is some fucking dialogue. I hear he's working on a second run continuing the same arc.

Whedon's X-Men run was fucking brilliant, now that is some fucking dialogue. I hear he's working on a second run continuing the same arc.

i read it's a final one issue send-off. it may not even complete the arc. (and I swear to fuck, if it doesn't, i'll kill shit)

as for my batman gayness. last week I engaged in a meaty discussion with a comic compadre and he reccomended some cool arcs to check out. always been into the x-men medium. dipped into whedon and morrison's run.

and yeah. he does have a knack for dialogue. wolverine's little high class departure? funny!

I really think the Ultimate Marvel Universe is the coolest fucking thing Marvel has ever done, just cause the dialogue is light-years ahead of anything they've done previously not written by Whedon. The dark nature and semi-adult content of some of the series, particularly The Ultimates (like The Avengers but far fucking cooler, Nick Fury is basically Samuel L Motherfucking Jackson with an eyepatch) really makes the whole thing a lot more compelling.

JAY TELL ME YOU READ TRANSMETROPOLITAN.

 

[Captain Beard]

I've been meaning to get ahold of that series (Transmetropolitan). Anyone got a scan?

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Transmetropolitan's Spider Jerusalem on voting.

I thought about hitting up the ultimate universe. but the "good" titles are all nearly 100 issues in. and i'd much rather crack into some batman than useless delve THAT much. (but i'm open to specific arc suggestions)

my buddy reccomended the first few ultimates issues. i got 1 to 13 (looked at the horny hulk quick, HILARIOUS.)

what's transmetropolitan? an ultimates arc?
