Quote:Originally posted by Ghoulman: The actors seem to be finding a real language with each other and, yeah, it seems that we only pick that up watching DVDs over and over *chuckle*, but when actors do that sheit reight... man, people notice. If only deep down. I think Firefly can do that. It's special no?

Quote: I agree that the pace of the dialog is different from your average show, and that makes it special. I'd compare it to watching Shakespeare: It might take your ears a few minutes to adjust, but with quality actors, you catch up pretty quickly, and the difference in the language style actually helps draw you into another world. As for some of the subtleties only becoming apparent after multiple viewings, I'd say that's what makes Firefly so much better than most of the dreck you see on TV, and why we all care enough to hang out in cyberspace talking about all those subtleties. That doesn't mean that the uninitiated can't enjoy it, too. It just means that the layers of meaning reward closer attention.

the movie is not the Series. Only the facts have been changed, to irritate the innocent; the names of the actors and characters remain the same

Quote:Originally posted by StarPilotGrainger: The only issue I'd like to see resolved is for the people involved in production to understand the sense of scale in space. Too many 'really close, extremely slow flybys' without a good explanation in the series kind of annoyed me, and I want them to decide once and for all if it's one solar system or several, and stick to it.

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Parsec is a measure of distance, not time.

Quote:Originally posted by witlesschum: Plus, the off-handedness and just slipped in is cool. It's a reason "Firefly" is worth watching again and again. For a look at a Whedon line said wrong, look at Halle Berry's "When a toad gets struck by lighting..." comment in "X-Men" (Whedon talks about this in an interview with the Onion AV Club) Dan
