It's always been that way... (Go. See. The Series) Joss seems to like mixing the old with the new.
But Inara's weapon was something that was introduced in the film. Pretty nifty, eh?
lol OKAY, I'm goin I'm goin... *grumbles under breath
Oh, and by the way.... what's with the antique-looking weapons the crew of the Serenity have??? Some of it looked sort-of high tech, other pieces, like the Capt'n's pistol, sure as heck DIDN'T!
Is there a reason for that, or was it just the way Whedon did the series, and carried it across to the movie...?
Capt
I've just watched the series (havn't seen the film yet) and one of things that stood out to me were the weapons as well Seems that Whedon had no qualms about taking real-world Earth weapons and not even bothering to try and 'alien' them up, which I thought was a rather novel way of doing it. Ak-47's, Uzi's, MP5's, .50 cal Desert Eagles and a whole heap of shotguns and revolvers. I also notice BSG does that to an extent as well (though they tend to go for more obscure weapons, otherwise they 'alien' them up as well)
Would you be able to answer the question, 'Why in Australia is Firefly aired so late?'
Firefly is usually on way past my bedtime, and some episodes have started at 12:30am!
It frustrates me.

Because its a sci fi and the free to air channels in Aus suck and would rather put crappy reality shows on instead?
You are right on the money Agent Dark.
Channel 7 here in Australia has the best Sci-Fi shows but they just consider them as jaffa excrement.
*sigh* Well, Stargate started off at 7:30 pm on 7...then 8:30....then 9:30....THEN 10:30....oh, and then 11:30...are we up to midnight and 12:30? I hate reality shows! Especially...."dancing with the stars"
I *hate* Aussie free-to-air networks. They promote piracy.
However, FOX8 on Austar and Foxtel have been airing Firefly at 8:30 on...some night, I forget which. They've been airing it one episode per week since the BDM opened.

Does anyone know if there's any sort of Firefly/Serenity music video listing? I have some I'd like to share and I'd really like to see works by others!!
