to think it really isn't possible to watch Serenity/Firefly too many times

Text convo with a friend this morning. Said I'd watched Serenity again last night party animal here. She said she couldn't believe I could watch that film so often.

But... but... It's Captain Tightpants.

Come on, it's not possible to overwatch this show, is it?

You are right!

Firefly YANBU
Serenity YABU but only because I can't watch it because of the inevitable sadness

VivaLeBeaver · 08/03/2015 12:33

Never heard of either of them. Should I watch them then? Grin

DH made me drive him to Lakeside (Thurrock) years ago to watch serenity at a late night showing (DH doesn't drive)

It was the most tedious film ever , although I did squirm Reavers and do admit Captain Tightpants is easy on the eye.

(My hand would have broken before I got tired of punching River Confused )

Yes, but Mal looks hotter in Serenity, so that kind of beats the sadness.

I'm really considering shelving this friendship seeing how she can't see the attraction in Nathan Fillion. Come on, who can't?

You've got to watch it until at least you know all the words to The Ballad of Jain.

'Well my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle' Grin

CarpeJugulum · 08/03/2015 12:36

Nathan Fillion is just...

But Wash...

pillowaddict · 08/03/2015 12:37

YANBU at all. Both are awesome, but the film is extremely sad. I'm such a geek I got so overexcited when he dressed up as Mal in Castle, Space Cowboy is such a good look!

ProfessorProfessorson · 08/03/2015 12:38

YADNBU!!

Thurlow · 08/03/2015 12:39

No, this is what going mad feels like...

Jayne would come a close second. Though there is quite a gap.

You need the graphic novels. There's one for what happened between firefly and serenity, the shepherds story and the other characters reminiscing about Wash.

Enormouse · 08/03/2015 12:41

Pillow I literally squeed when I saw him in castle dressed up as Mal.

Toooldtobearsed · 08/03/2015 12:43

The BEST TV series ever. Yes, can watch ad nauseum.

Thurlow · 08/03/2015 12:44

Obviously Doctor Horrible's Singalong Blog is the next thing that needs watching.

I always find it odd how Nathan Fillion never looks that big in Firefly, and then looks bloody massive in anything else. Which is no bad thing.

I want this so much Grin

Yanbu.

Although Serenity is the reason my DD doesn't have Miranda as one of her middle names. Damn you Whedon!

If Firefly was cancelled now, you know Netflix would've been all over it.

Thurlow · 08/03/2015 12:57

Oh no, I have seen it. Many times Wink

Now I can watch one Firefly episode while DD naps. But which one? I always thought Out of Gas was the best episode.

The one with the flashbacks? Love that one

Quick question for any experts, with the exception of the readers is the any train why you think a 12 year old wouldn't be able to watch Firefly?

RufusTheReindeer · 08/03/2015 13:06

Ooh no...forget that, just checked the box and it is a 12 Blush

RufusTheReindeer · 08/03/2015 13:07

The readers!!!!!

Yep they were terrifying..._hmm

I hate my ipad sometimes Sad

Thurlow · 08/03/2015 13:07

Yep, that's the one.

I'm no expert on 12 year olds but I didn't think there was much adult stuff in Firefly?

MeganChips · 08/03/2015 13:08

Love both and have seen them countless times. Mal is indeed hot.

Serenity is a very good wrap up I think.

Enormouse · 08/03/2015 13:10

Dp would agree with you thurlow

But I love Jaynestown.

"Jaaaaaaaaayne……the man they call Jaaaayne
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man and he gave him what for.
Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain,
The hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne!"
