more Serenity fangirling

Heh. New York Times gave it a good (ish) review; they think it's better than Star Wars, if too unassuming. The Rotten Tomatoes reviews are predominantly good. There's hope! All you UK and US people, go and see it, at least once, soon, it needs to be successful so that Joss gets to make two sequels and rule the world, mwa-ha-ha!

It's all wytchfynder's fault; I am tempted into my first ever posting of a quiz result here, mostly because it means I get to celebrate the Serenity love with a pic of the dashing Captain Mal. Heh.

You scored as Capt. Mal Reynolds. The Captain. You are the captain of the ship, so the crew are your responsibility. You just want to do the job, get paid and keep flying. Why is that always so hard? </td> Capt. Mal Reynolds 75% Zoe Alleyne Washburne 75% Kaylee Frye 63% The Operative 56% River Tam 56% Inara Serra 56% Shepherd Derrial Book 56% Simon Tam 56% Hoban 'Wash' Washburne 44% Jayne Cobb 6%

I should add that jo&stv are possibly the world's best dinner guests, at least from the point of view of the cook. They both wade into the meal with sufficient dedication that the post-prandial hour or so is spent flat on the carpet, recovering. I cherish a mental image of jo going two-handed at the bone from a leg of garlic pork, with a fine gusto resulting in pork grease not only on the end of her nose, but on her ears, too. Stv managed two of the chocolate mousses, an almost superhuman feat. Gratifying people.
