Madly in Love

Alas not with a person. I caved and ordered the Firefly DVDs last week. I finished watching them last night. If I were going to be cast in the show, I'd so be Kaylee. Of course, I much prefer Mal to Simon. And Wash and I don't like blonds as a general rule. How wrong is it of me that I can see the possibilities of a Jayne/River ship? Very, I know.

I like having my faith in Joss restored as well. After the end of Buffy and Angel, it was starting to wane. My love for them is still strong, but there were definite weaknesses in the storytelling. This also just reinforces my lack of desire to rewatch Season 7 of Buffy. I've loved Nathan Fillion for a long time, but I hated Caleb. Not one of Joss's better characters. Add the Mal love in and I may just have to start believing the show ended with Season 6. Or Season 5. Possible 3.

Leading to the one advantage in the cancellation of Firefly. It gets to remain a perfectly polished jewel. There is still a lot of story to be told, but I would not want this show to go through what Buffy did. Tight writing and a true gift for casting are Joss's greatest strengths I think.

On a personal note, I have a story to post. There is an original ficathon called Sensory Overload. Just an odd little character thing. Not betaed. All comments appreciated.
