If you're a Firefly fan, you should at least watch the opening scene this week.

When's it on? I like the show but completely lost touch with evening shows while working nights.

Oh, and what channel? :)

It's on ABC at 9 or 10pm on Mondays. I catch it sporadically but am planning to see if past episodes are online.

We're trying to subtly get Jenn's sister hooked on the series, because then she will buy the DVDs and we can watch the series for free.

Edit: Also, just finished watching the final disk of Firefly again. I am a bitter soup. Fox is terrible. I wish that Whedon could quit them, move onto HBO where they treat an awesone series with respect, and we'd all be happy with rainbows and unicorns and hot Companions frolicking.

George R.R. Martin keeps talking about the casting and everything on the pilot HBO is doing for Song of Ice and Fire. It's almost enough joy to make me ignore the fact he's out doing things that aren't finishing his next book.

I just started the series and I'm a chapter into A Clash of Kings so he better get his butt going. I caught up to Robert Jordan and gave up. It better not happen again.

I didn't know the HBO talks were already this far along. This is awesome news. Only HBO seems capable of doing it right with his mature storytelling. Until then I'll contemplate Companions frolicking as it is deemed right and just.

I am deeply shamed and must commit seppuku with a spoon. I did not recognize Nathan Fillion as the main character in Castle. I understand now why I liked the early Castle episodes so much. I was reacting on a subconscious level to the Firefly goodness.

It is probably due to your advanced years. The eyesight is one of the first things to go, followed by hearing and the ability to use an inner voice when griping about customer service.

Fortunately, the fix is quite easy. Many television manufacturers make positively enormous TV sets these days.

If eyesight is the first thing to go then I was born old. I got my first pair of glasses before I was 3. the hearing is definitely starting to go too according to my wife, and my inner voice tends to break down while griping AS customer service and not about customer service :)

Perfect! May I direct you to the aisle over there with the 100+ inch screen television sets.

Only if you'll fly down here to personally convince my wife of the necessity of a 100+ inch tv. :)

Last thing I read from Martin, i.e., a couple of days ago, he was flying to Northern Ireland (I think) for the filming of the pilot. He said he'd met the actress playing Sansa and Arya, and now felt sorry for all the awful things that had happened to them in the books, so now only good things would happen to them.

Somehow I doubt that.

The first book doesn't seem to have too much horrible stuff to Sansa and Arya. Now Deny would be having some fun.

I seem to recall some unpleasantness for Sansa, particularly towards the end of the book.

Some slapping around and watched a loved one get their head cut off. It's par for course with Martin apparently.

I've not read the series. If we ever start gaming again maybe I could beg the books off LGM.

I have watched that intro, like, a dozen times. Dreaming of what could have been.
