Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.
Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.
You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.
Americans adore me and will go on adoring me until I say something nice about them.
One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven't and don't.
You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed but that he cannot believe anyone else.

I don't recall a puppet show in Heart of Gold. Perhaps it was in the background, when Mal and Inarra are in the theatre?
Actually, yes... I think that's where it was. In the first third of the episode, when Mal wants to size up the bad guy (can't remember his name off the top of my head), there is a shadow puppet show with a man singing in Chinese.

I really wish we could have seen the Mal - Inarra storyline played out.
That was a show that had so much potential.sigpic

Potential, my mik'ta.....What Firefly had was beyond.....potential. Though with no more accurate descriptor coming to mind, I guess "potential" will have to do.

Originally posted by TheXym View PostI totally agree. I'm a recent convert to the ranks of the browncoats, but.... WOW! Truly amazing what the show and film (serenity) brought together. A talented cast that epitomized synergy... you could truly feel they were completely immersed in their 'verse and it added so much to it. It's cancellation was, and is, both a tragedy and a travesty.
Rarely do you get a cast with that much chemestry- between all of them, not just among specific characters. They really feel like a family, almost immeadiatly.

Thank you +1 for your family comment - it's so true. The Mal/Inara relationship would have been fun to see explored in depth. I liked the deleted scenes with them in Serenity. By contrast, I was ambivalent on how they handed Simon/Kaylee in Serenity.Spoiler:I thought it was funny how he mentioned the regrets of not being with her, and how it made her decide she wanted to live, but the glimpse on the ship afterwards kind of felt rushed to me, even though I was glad they did get together (I guess this makes me a shipper.... Had the series not been cancelled, it would have been nice to see how Joss and the actors played it out over time, but then again I have a rather strong romantic streak at times, so it's all good I guess )

And while Simon/Kaylee was a bit rushed at the end, I wouldn't change it- I thought it worked, especially considering time constraints. And the Mal/Inara relationship was fascinating, so wonderfully written and played by both actors. As someone who is for the most part irritated by romantic relationships in television- mainly because they're 95% of the time written badly/get dull, I loved those dynamics in Firefly, and all of Joss's work really. And I love that this show started with a married couple, that was smart, if only because that is so rare in tv series like this, thereby shaking up expectations.

You all (y'all) know who would win.
