Still Flyin' -- It Ain't Much... It's Enough

[filkertom]

Lovely weekend at ConClave. Many, many, many thanks to Tom, Liz, and ever-damn-body. You are my tribe, and I love you all.

Busy, busy night and tomorrow. Must finish two commission projects. Later in week, must finish last two songs from The Last Hero On Earth.

But.

I just now finished watching the pilot episode of Firefly.

I don't know yet if it's as good as Babylon 5 or American Gothic.

But.














Damn.

So that's what you all have been talking about.

Damn.

Hell yeah.

See the movie ASAP. We need every dollar we can get.

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Damn straight.

And it gets better.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Babylon 5 is excellent.
American Gothic, I will be able to give an opinion on once it's out on DVD.


Firefly is also excellent.


Room in the `verse for lots of shiny.

And SERENITY? Waaaaaaaaay shiny.

Once you get to episode 7, you won't wanna stop.

I'm still pissed off about Serenity.

Watch the entire series, then watch the movie. You'll see why.

Yeah, it's a good movie. I still want to slap Joss Whedon upside the head.

[smallship1.livejournal.com]

I think it is.

[ddrussianinja.livejournal.com]

I was pissed too, but got over it because it was such a good movie.

[vulpine137.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty good series IMHO, and the pilot isn't one of the best episodes. You should be heartily entertained.

[kender42.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the 'verse, Tom. :) I agree, the pilot was not the greatest episode, but it STILL shoulda been shown first, not last. Fox, you stupid fong luh weenies.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

See, that's kinda my point. If the pilot isn't the greatest episode.... whew. 'Cause I thought it was nineteen kindsa superb.

Oh, my, what joys and sadnesses await you, my son. You are gonna be so jazzed.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

I like War Stories and Shindig best myself. And Out of Gas. And...


*refrains from using vaguely spoilery icon*

[jedilora.livejournal.com]

Shindig rules so hard. That's the one that cemented my love for Kaylee.

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

Nah, Heart of Gold is the best. No question. :-)

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Kaylee is just adorable in Shindig.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

And then there's Jaynestown and Objects in Space...

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

I have to say it isn't as good as B5, but that's only because it never got the chance to be. However, it was running top-of-the-line episodes faster than B5, was, so who knows what would have happened?

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

I can hardly wait for Tom to watch Jaynestown. *grin*

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

I've developed an odd fondness for Jayne. And you are so right!

[kender42.livejournal.com]

I'll love to see your reaction after Out of Gas - but please watch them in order. :) Don't get me wrong, the pilot was really shiny, but they get so much better.

[sarekofvulcan.livejournal.com]

*icon love, on both counts*

[almeda.livejournal.com]

My personal favorite is Out of Gas (which is one of the most amazing pieces of TV cinematography I've ever seen), but I don't remember which # ep that is. I actually show it stand-alone to people who aren't sure they want to watch, and are only willing to commit to a single hour of tryout.

[atalantapendrag.livejournal.com]

Once Tom's seen Ariel, I can use my OTHER River icon.


*mine is an evil laugh*

[cheshyre]

I dislike Heart of Gold, but won't say why until our host has seen the episode to avoid spoiling him.
[But, c'mon, 500 years in the future!]

[darthparadox.livejournal.com]

Ariel rocked so hard. I mean, I knew Simon was brilliant, but...
