Quality.

And you have to love Beckett.


Edit:





That scene is great! I've watched it a couple of times already. smile

And Inara is back on our screens too next week (well, Morena Baccarin is playing Anna in the new series of "V")!

Yes she is and I have no doubt she'll be great. She looks so different though with such short hair. I prefer her with that classic long and beautiful Companion hairstyle. wink

IIRC, wasn't it ultimately the SciFi channel that killed Firefly? They had moved over from Fox, but didn't fit the "direction" the newly cristened SyFy channel wanted to go in?

No. Firefly was cancelled by Fox and it died there. The Sci-Fi Channel did consider picking up the series for a while but in the end decided that the production costs of the show were too expensive.

A mud wrestling match between a naked Inara and Kaylee would have been nice. smile

I finally got to see this series for the first time and it was awesome. I thought that it wasn't even really that sci-fi-ish, but it was still great.

I saw Serenity a while ago, but will have to watch it again now that I have seen Firefly.

I looked up (read: perved at) Christina Hendricks on IMDB and according to that website, she is engaged to this guy:



Haha.

Haha.


I also saw "Serenity" before I ever saw "Firefly" and while I still liked the movie I just KNEW that I missed out on a lot of nuances with the characters and the backstory. Once I watched the tv episodes and then watched the movie again, it was like a totally different experience.

Watching the series again, got to Ariel (one of the best eps IMO).
The Ariel Ambulance they restore, never noticed why it looked so familiar. Pretty cool, seems clear it's based it on the Hind.





Apparently it was found in the desert and is being, or has been, restored as it turns out.
