OT - Firefly
We watch any and every sci-fi show or movie that comes out - yes, we're that
nerdie. Ben got into Babylon Five a lot more than I did - I liked Star Trek since I was a teen-ager and watched the original airing (I was part of the "letter campaign" that brought it back for a season after cancellation). Stargate, Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe were both good (and another hunky male lead in the Stargate Atlantis series IMHO). I started reading when I was 2 (my brothers were sin grammar school and I couldn't stand them knowing something I didn't so I had to decode their books - even my mom didn't believe I could read until I proved it by reading every sign along the highway when we were going out to eat one night). My first two books were Black Beauty [I have a mental picture memory of being with my mom at her bowling league and one of her team mates saw me reading Black Beauty... I could see my patent leather shoes ticking up at the end of the plastic seat, I was so little ,my feet didn't even clear the end of the seat.. anyway her team mate said "She's not really reading, she's just pretending" and I proceeded to read out loud and remember the smirk on my mom's face as she just turned away and took her turn at bowling] and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - then I discovered Isaac Asimov and read almost exclusively sci-fi books since then. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net "Phoenix" wrote in message ...

He just rings my bell like a fricking gong (and that's hard to do now-a-days) Any other science fiction buffs here a fan of the show? Good lord, yes!! Nathan Fillion can come to my house ANY day, believe me. We watched the existing Castle via Netflix and now are impatiently awaiting the release of the season 3 discs. We own Firefly and we (and often, our friends) will do Firefly marathons :-) No broadcast TV, so we depend on the DVDs. Are there other SF programs you watch? We are starting Season 4 of Bablyon 5, fell in love with it and have been plowing through the discs as fast as Netflix will let us. A dear friend just loaned us the Stargate movie, and the first season DVDs. We've never watched it before, so don't know how the quality will be. Nice to know I'm not the only weirdo!

OT - Firefly - Double D*mn!
My DVR sometimes goes haywire and pulls a Max Hedroom on me - and it did so
for a key episode - the one where Mal flashes back on how he got Serenity and the Shepard leaves the ship. I either missed it in the original or, more likely, it was one of the huge chunks of my memory that went missing last February. I too am hoping I can find it on Xfinity. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net "CatNipped" wrote in message ...

CatNipped Now you got me....same audience, different question; I do remember scrolling past that name in the cable onscreen roster of shows; never hit the button to see it. I have a cable package that runs kids programs 24/7, all week, that my grand kid has her faves of...with a name like that, just figured it was one of those, and I am talking kids programs you never heard of, from toddlers on up to one I share a love for: SpongeBob. Your hotties are probably not my hotties, I think the head prosecuter in The Trial of the Day is a hottie. SpongeBob is not a hottie; Plankton is. Don't ask me to spreadsheet that. |

Hardly - RPCA is full of SF fans. You didn't ask me, but hopefully my answer will also be interesting. I seem to be doomed to fall in love with shows that last one season and then get canceled. The most recent one: Flash Forward. Any fans of that? Joyce |

The interest has not waned in the intervening years - and yes he was *awesome* in Firefly. The man is scorchin'! Yowie |

Yeah, I love the show too, but I missed the marathon yesterday - didn't find out about it until too late. But that's okay - I *own* the series, and the movie, thanks to a very good friend!
