God, I love Firefly so much Sad

The one thing that still confuses me about the reavers…

In the program, they are made by seeing other reavers

In the movie, it’s being exposed to the pax Confused

This is a brilliant idea! Love Firefly so much!

NekoShiro · 23/06/2021 18:17

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 18:22

Well of course. Can’t watch one without the other Grin

Love firefly

I'd always assumed that the reavers were originally made by being exposed to the Pax, they they created more reavers due to PTSD at witnessing their actions, or by passing on the Pax when they were in close contact (I don't exactly remember that part).

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 18:29

They never really explained it did they.

Stupid network cancelling decent shows

'Wash, am I pretty?'
'Were I not married I would take you in a manly fashion.'
'Because I'm pretty?'
'Because you're pretty.'

Kayleigh and Mal are my favourites.

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 18:39

I really like Kaylee. She has to be one of my favourites too.

And it’s lovely that she’s the ships mechanic because the other bloke was shit at it

And that Zoe is the captains right hand.

Lund: Hey! You gonna drink to the Alliance with me? Six years ago today, the Alliance sent the Browncoats runnin’, pissing their pants. You know, your coat is kind of a brownish color.
Mal: It was on sale.
Lund: You didn’t toast. You know, I’m thinking you one of them Independents.
Mal: And I’m thinking you weren’t burdened with an overabundance of schooling. So why don’t we just ignore each other ’til we go away.
Lund: The Independence were a bunch of cowardly, inbred piss-pots. Should have been killed off of every world that’s spinnin’.
Mal: Say that to my face.
Lund: I said, you’re a coward and a piss-pot. Now what are ya gonna do about it?
Mal: Nothing. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind you.

The full quote makes me laugh

Bandit : [robbing a couple on a floating wagon] You gonna give us what's due us and every damn thing else on that boat. And I think maybe you gonna give me a little one-on-one time with the misses.
Jayne : Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature.
Mal : [in disguise in a dress and large bonnet] How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?
Jayne : If I could make you purtier, I would.
Mal : [gasps] You are not the man I met a year ago.
[Mal and Jayne pull their guns on the unsuspecting bandits]
Mal : Now, think real hard. You've been birddoggin' this township a while now. They wouldn't mind a corpse of you. Now, you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear, by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

Love firefly! Dollhouse is really good too. Cabin in the woodsv (film) is also a firm favourite with some familiar faces.

Soubriquet · 23/06/2021 18:57

Banning:- You ought to see to your girl. She made it look like your dress was bought out of a shop

Poor Kaylee looks devastated and then the hero arrives

“ Why Banning Miller what a vision you are, in your fine dress. It must have taken a dozen slaves a dozen days to get you into that get-up. ‘Course your daddy tells me it takes the space a school boy’s wink to get you out of it again. {the debutantes scatter.} Forgive my rudeness. I cannot abide useless people.”

Jayne: What we need’s a diversion. I say Zoe gets naked.
Wash: Nope.
Jayne: I could get naked.
Everyone: No!
