*dance of joy*
May. 6th, 2004 06:32 pmI finally got my Firefly and QaF UK DVDs! Yay! Happies all around! Am having the best of time with QaF right now - and no bloody subtitles, too. Those accents are just... And Alfred is the cutest little baby. A few choice quotes:
"Fifteen! He's fifteen!" "Well the car's six months old and you've still buggered it."
"Right. Everybody's havin' a go at me!"
"It's not a family. It's sex. Everything you do is sex."
"D'you know what I'd do? Run. Run like the wind."
"What could possibly go wrong?" "Fuck you." "Hmm. Nice comeback."
"That is completely, completely fantastic! ... God I'm so sad."
"As soon as I saw you I said, clever little bastard." "That's right. Everybody havin' a go at me." "I said clever."
"Lesbian letters... can I read them?" "I doubt it. Joined up handwriting."
"I'll do it. I'll do it 'cause I'm stupid. And I sorta love you." "Put them down." "Too late. I'm in love!"
"You could say thanks." "..." "You can't. Stuart Jones. You're such a twat."
"It is your fault! It's all your fault! 'Cause you just - shag!"
"My world's so fucking huge!!"
Aaaah. I love this show. I expect I'll watch some Firefly tonight. When I'm done having a life, I have the beginning of a plot bunny about crossing Firefly and Highlander. It all started when Methos and Mal absolutely *had* to meet in that bar, and then got out of hands when I realised what Methos was drinking himself into oblivion about. I quite like this plot bunny, I don't wanna ruin it. Just like the third part of Crossed Destinies (Unique and It ends with a new beginning are the first two). So I'll heavily plan those before I start writing them.
And then of course, I'm hitting a dry spot about A Flight of Fancy. I also need to plan the whole rewriting of Tapping (BtVS/HP) before I launch myself into it. Muses keep you busy, they really do.

Boromir with Mercas, Faramir with Leofa, Haldir with Alasse. Simple too cute to be permitted, really.
I understand about real life. Good luck beating it into submission.
Lucky you!

Really though, the US version, I felt, was able to broach wider topics than the UK did, since they had whole big seasons and all. *And* they gave us Ethan. Never been able to see Fab Fillipo the same way again after his entrance.
Take care, you'll get me seriously ranting here. I'm actually restraining myself. ;)
