Love and Firefly (Mostly)

Oooh, Lookie-loo, Back To An SG-1 Layout
Since I’m already starting to mourn SG-1’s demise, I switched back to an SG-1 layout. I think we worked out all the bugs from this one, but if someone notices something weird, drop me a line. [livejournal.com profile] theemdash

Also, *waves to [livejournal.com profile] jissa* ;)

All You Need Is Love
I want to thank everyone for the nice and lovely comments they left at the Love Meme. Those comments on page 5 have really warmed my day. :D *huggles her sweet, sweet flist*

Also, I’d just like to give a welcome to the various new people who I have friended recently. I’m going to attempt to remember everyone from over the past month or so:

*waves to [livejournal.com profile] _minxy_, [livejournal.com profile] autumnxhild, [livejournal.com profile] baka_gaijin, [livejournal.com profile] charmedstrange1, [livejournal.com profile] green_grrl, [livejournal.com profile] kay_brooke, [livejournal.com profile] paian, [livejournal.com profile] princessofg, and [livejournal.com profile] secondalto*

Now, my arm is tired.

My Feelings Are So Mixed They Could Be A Smoothie
Apparently July is going to bring us a Special Edition of Serenity. And we’ve got the word from Joss the Boss, so I’d say it’s pretty solid. Exciting? Yes! Aggravating? Hell yes!

On one hand, I’m thrilled with the idea of getting all the Region 4 special features (which were a hell of a lot more than what we got) and the idea of the Tam Sessions and cast commentary sends my spine a tingling.

On the other hand: Why the frak didn’t they release this in the first place?! It’s not like they didn’t know that Firefly has rabid fans that would shell out $10 more for a special edition when the DVD was first released. (I know, I know, marketing, profit, bleh.)

I’m really tired of new movies getting special edition releases several months to a year after the initial release. I understand remastered and xx-number-of-years anniversary editions, but new frelling movies? Is that really necessary?

Oh well: yay for possible cast commentary! The commentary by Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk on “War Stories” is one of my favorites from the Firefly DVDs. In fact, when I watch that episode, I usually watch it with the commentary. Plus I love that cast so much. *crosses fingers*

Rant over. I still love you, Joss. (Because you own my soul, you fraking genius.)

The layout looks fab! I love the colours. *_*

Eek, that's a bit worrying. I have the image hosted at Photobucket, so I don't know if it would be a problem over there or not. :/ If anyone else says anything, I might move the image to my own server. :)

With you on the ripped offiness of a special edition. Won't buy it. Might rent it.

[identity profile] honestly-undone.livejournal.com 2007-03-05 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally agree about the re-release thing. Sooo frustrating! But War Crimes commentary is soooo the best thing ever, I wonder if the cast commentary can top it?

Don't know if you saw my post but I've finally started watching Firefly. =)

Also, what're you guys up to next weekend?

Also also, you're currently reading Ouran High School Host Clue vol. 2? *confuzzled*

[identity profile] honkie-mcgee.livejournal.com 2007-03-05 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, yes and yes.

Since I don't have anything else going on this Sat. I was thinking 300 and/or anime, but Buffy works just as well. And I already have an idea for something to make for the special occasion. But I'm also open to other ideas from the more Buffy-knowledgable. =D

Ok, then I'll guess Haruhi, in the Music Room, with the Vase. *snickers*

I was thinking about cookies shaped like hearts and wooden stakes. And you are indeed good with icing.

But dirtier is more fun! ;)

What I was thinking about was grabbing you and Nick, and Joe if he was free, to catch a 300 matinee. But if they're going to be playing WoW at CoC, then that might not work out.

Yay! =D

Since I’m already starting to mourn SG-1’s demise...

~ passes box of tissues your way ~

Save some of those tissues for my husband. He'll be sitting beside you, sobbing away, when that final episode airs. I think he'll get way more sympathy from you then he'll get from me. XD

i will totally buy this new super remixed whatever version of serenity, if merely to hear the cast commentary.

*sigh* i'll definitely feel annoyed about it though...

Such a cute layout! *not thinking about end* *not thinking about end* *not thinking about end*

I am teh ev0l?

So, in Bad Timing, D/C was this one-time thing. Either Cam was cool with that, or he's pining that it wasn't more. Are you going to angst him or not?

(And, see, my whole thing with D/C is that Daniel isn't that close to Cam. Or anybody except Jack -- and to an extent Sam and Teal'c. Daniel is an extremely private, snarky, bull-headed force of nature who's been through Hell, death and rebirth. Cam is a puppy. He's proving to be loyal, brave and, well, reckless, but he's not anywhere near inside Daniel's walls. So either he recognizes that Daniel is emotionally untouchable and was fine with a physical one-off, or he wants to get inside Daniel's defenses and he'll never be able to. Onscreen, I actually see him trying to get inside Sam's and Teal'c's trust just as much. Maybe his one-off was an attempt at team-building? There are so many places to go with it. Anyway, just some quickie meta from my brain, to see if anything resonates. I do adore Cam, just not with Daniel.)

Also, I think that as of Season 10 Cameron gets his team members, but in early Season 9 he was too busy idolizing them to understand that they might not want him pawing at them.

Oh, yes.

Of course he'd have to be completely blind to not get that Daniel's a prickly bastard. Maybe five ep tags of increasing crush, and then, wow! -- consummation! And then, oh... that wasn't a break-through, just an aberration. Woe.

Right there with ya! Stupid multiple editions! Yesterday I was lamenting the new & shiny slim pak Buffy season sets. And the $200 box set. Phooey!

PS....nice layout! :)

Speaking of Stargate....Uri and I have a question for you.

We're watching "Within the Serpent's Grasp" (season 1 finale) and we were wondering if it is a different cut of the episode that originally aired. For one, we thought this was the ep that Jack says "Mmmm...Go'uld TV" (but we could be wrong) and also because Jack says clearly "That's bullshit!" in regards to Ska'ara saying 'nothing of the host remains'.

....uh...I may have just answered the swearing question...was that because it originally aired on Showtime?

[identity profile] amazonsun.livejournal.com 2007-03-07 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Oh right...I forgot about the nudity! Heh.

Hmmm...I wonder if they just changed that line? When I looked it up on tv.com, it had both quotes noted, but it didn't say what version they may have come from.

I never had Showtime, so I didn't start watching the show until it got picked up by Sci-fi.

[identity profile] amazonsun.livejournal.com 2007-03-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
oh, I know. I just bought the slim set season one. That's what I was watching. Uri and I were eagerly anticipating the Go'ould Tv reference that never happened. :( Guess we had only seen the sci-fi aired ep. Oh well.

*waves back*

You rock like a rocking thing!

I was just checking out your SG Fun Facts, and your obvious love of Daniel makes me squeeee. Love, love, love Daniel. :)

(Even more tasty with a side order of Jack).

Thanks for inviting me to the party!

"Plus, if I continue, I'm going to have to count the number of times Teal'c says indeed."

Heehee! That is *so* something I've wanted to do ever since he mentioned it. If you start up again, I volunteer for this!

On a similar note, I've always wished I had enough RL Stargate buddies that we could sit around and have Stargate parties with drinking games- like, every time you hear "indeed", "unscheduled offworld activation" or "jack!" (exclamation point required), you have to take a jello shot. :) Or something like that. Wouldn't that be fun? X)

[identity profile] charmedstrange1.livejournal.com 2007-03-07 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Cupgate.

That is full of geeky genius awesomeness. You have risen even higher in my estimation.

~~~~~~

I don't have firm plans for the finale yet, but it may involve drinking heavily and sobbing.

Oooh.. *waves*

I will also be buying the super duper Serenity DVD. I'll take anything I can get XD

Just thinking about Stargate ending hurts my heart. :(

[identity profile] ewanspotter.livejournal.com 2007-03-06 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
True. Good shows with followings never quite die. Especially in the first few years there are a lot of fanon still going on. And hopefully the Fandamonium books keep going for a while. Those are are printed fanfic.
