Firefly

As I'm sure you've pieced together, I'm a bit of a sci-fi nerd.  Exactly the type who would love Firefly.  If you've never seen it, here's a very simplified synopsis: It's basically a western, but set on a spaceship.  The characters are a hodgepodge of people who all found each other by chance and formed an endearing team of outlaws.  The only completely crime-free person is the 'lady of the night'.  She's played by Morena Baccarin, who you probably saw recently in Deadpool.   It's actually super fun.

I will admit, when I first started watching it I kept expecting it to get better.  After all I'd heard about it I expected every moment to be life-altering, you know? But then one day I watched an episode called Jaynestowwn.  That was when I realized that I hated Jayne, really deeply hated him (You're supposed to, which is a testament to the acting talent of Adam Baldwin.), and that I loved the others just as deeply.  There's only one season and that episode is toward the end of it.  I finished it out and watched the movie immediately and loved that too. 

My second time through the series, and again now on the third, I enjoyed every episode from the beginning because I know all the characters so much better and I enjoy watching the stories unfold all over again.  My favorite is Kaylee, because I can really identify with her.  Not that I'm a mechanical genius, but I've spent my whole life being misjudged as much younger and sweeter than I am, even though I kind of really am pretty sweet.  It's tough to explain, but it just means that the actress, Jewel Staite, really gets me.  Maybe one day she'll actually meet me... and hopefully I'll figure out a non-creepy way to explain all that.  Fingers crossed, eh?

I used to have a Serenity decal for my car, which I got from this Ebay shop, in case you want one, but I had to trade the car in for a minivan and the sticker I got to replace it is the Enterprise.  I am in the market for a Firefly laptop skin, so if you know where I can get one or if you just have something to say about the show just cram it into the comment box below.  Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.

Again, not my pictures.  I'm not some mogul!
