Yano What I Mean?: You Can't Take the Sky from Me

You Can't Take the Sky from Me

I just got in from Santa Barbara, where I spent a horrendous layover in LA since my plane was delayed 3 hours in South America. Well, it wasn't horrendous. It was actually pretty relaxing (I'm trying to de-stress myself, I don't think it'd be good for the baby to be stressed out all the time).

Lucky for me, I brought a couple DVD's that I've been meaning to watch. I've had the "Firefly" season for a while now, and haven't had the time to get to them til now (thanks Wally!). I never really thought of watching DVD's in the airport til Redpac told me he started bringing movies with him on trips and caught with with last season's "LOST".

Let me tell ya, when Firefly was on several years ago, I had only watched an episode. I think it was on a night that I had something else to watch or something - Firefly is done by the same guy (Joss Whedon) that did Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, so I doubt I would have missed it if I didn't have to.

Now that I'm watching it, I regret not watching it before. It's a great show. It takes a couple episodes to warm up to, but I'm really starting to like these characters. It's a mix of adventure, comedy and drama, all rolled into one. Kinda like a futuristic Western story, a crew on the run from the law, trying to survive and helping people along the way. I'm sad now that there's only one season of episodes to watch.

...and Yes, Walter, I'll go watch the movie...

yeah, it really helps to watch the TV series before seeing the movie.

my favorite episodes are 'Out of Gas' and 'Objects in Space' and my favorite characters were, well, all of em, cause they're all so uniquely different. If I had to pick, I really dig Wash and Kaylee.

'Out if Gas' is the best...

It's hard to pick a favorite, but if I did, it would be Shepherd Book, because of all the characters, he still has the most unanswered questions. I really hope that they get into what his history was in the movie!

I had never seen the show myself until my husband borrowed the set from a co-worker and introduced me to it. I only saw about half of the shows since the first ones didn't seem too interesting. But I have to say that I loved it! A couple of weeks after seeing it, we went to see "Serenity" and that was great! I felt that it filled in the spots where the TV series left unanswered due to its early cancellation.

I restumble across your site to discover you were in Santa Barbara, even momentarily? Heaven forbid we gemini's ever happen to be in the same 3 mile square radius at any one time. I can literally smell SBA from here.
