Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

When do the post office & the dmv weigh in on the wuhan virus?

I really should read my own blog.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Bark louder, little dog.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

    I posted mine here (before yours, ha! ;-)).

    Smile Time (the puppet ep) is nominated for the Hugo Awards in Best Short-Form Dramatic Presentation, this year, by the way; winner to be announced, as ever, at Worldcon, on August 7th.

    Not Fade Away is also nominated.

    Boreanz has a new, non-supernatural, series in production, you know, although this interests me vastly less than anything connected to Whedon.

    I just saw Smile Time and thought it was brilliant! I agree that Angel should have never been cancelled. The writing on it was still strong and they had not tire out their formula.

    I did get interested in a show called Arrested Development which I had seen the the first season of on dvd. That is a must see as well – and it isn’t cancelled.

    I just watched Buffy’s “The Body” yesterday. Whoa. I’ve seen alot of Angel, but I would like to see it from the beginning, with all episodes back to back.

    Still haven’t seen the season of Firefly, but I would like to before the movie comes out.

    Angel’s new series has something to do with bones. I think it is more forensic in nature, though. Whatev, I’ll check it out.

    The trailer’s amazing.

    I never watched the show, though I know a little about what it was about. Should I watch the series before the movie? Will the movie make no sense if I haven’t seen the series?

    It looks like the movie is, as is inevitable, designed to be seen by people who have never seen the show. In fact, it appears that it rather recapitulates, to some degree, what we’ve already learned about River, and essentially condenses down what was intended to be the major plot thread on the show over the (prematurely cancelled) following two years.

    So I doubt it’s “necessary” to see the episodes. On the other hand, you’ll bring a lot more to the film if you go in already knowing the personalities (which is what it’s all about, really) and the (rather brief, all things considered) history.

    But you can probably wait until after the movie, if you prefer. Of course, it’s hard to give the best possible answer without having yet seen the film. Who knows, maybe it will be more fun to be more surprised?

    CaseyL,
    Yes, you should watch the series first. The movie is a continuation of the TV show. You might as well get to know the characters before the movie. It’s playing on the SciFi Channel at the moment. Watch the 2 hour series premier first! You may have to rent it, since it already played on TV, I think.

    I think you can only help yourself by watching the episodes. Personally I think it’s inevitable that in watching them you develop an affection for the characters – who are wonderfully written and skillfully acted – and how bad can it be to walk into a movie already loving the cast?

    FYI Firefly reruns on Sci-Fi Channel and Joss and five cast members (plus Mercedes “Harmony” McNab) hit Dragon*Con in a month.
