Well that'll be an interesting day. )

When I came back to my desk after lunch, Rich walked by and said, "You still watching that DVD series?" [He was with us for like part of one episode] I said yes, and he said it looked interesting. So I said I'd lend it to him after we were done.

Jonah and Rachel came over last Friday night and we watched the entire series (though Jonah left early and i fell asleep at the end).

The following contains spoilers for all episodes. Commentary is divided up by episode, but i mention connections to other episodes, so please don’t read unless you’ve seen the whole thing. I also mention deleted scenes (from the final disc of the DVD) and other deleted stuff i found in reading shooting scripts. Connections to the movie got added to a section in my post on the movie which i refuse to post until the day the movie comes out in theatres ‘cause spoilers=bad.

Episode quotations taken from shooting scripts via twiztv.com unless otherwise noted.

Do not click unless you have already seen all the episodes. )

I really must watch the first disk sometime because i haven't seen those episodes (Serenity, The Train Job, Bushwhacked) since they first aired.

Out of Gas - I was going to opt out because i find it the most draining of all the episodes, but the flashbacks....
Ariel - I think of this as the most plot-driven of all the eps, so i was gonna opt out since i know how the plot turns out (and some of it kinda pains me) but there are such great moments.
War Stories - I'm always torn about rewatching this 'cause there's both hotness and torture.
Trash - Possibly the one i'm least likely to rewatch, but after the Inara/Saffron conversation i had to.

So yeah, i decided to join Emma and Kathy for the entire disc, which started around 8, with my foolish plan being to exit after the viewing and get more work done, and after the viewing there was suggestion of watching the last disc and then we got talking and then it was 3:15. Yeah.

Interesting how our memories compare to reality.
The draining aspects of "Out of Gas" take up a really relatively small amount of airtime (though i definitely cried at various moments at the beginning) and it's such a good episode.
And "Ariel" has such great moments.
And "War Stories" has so much great banter etc. filling so much of the episode; i had forgotten what a good episode it is.
And "Trash" is still possibly my least-likely-to-rewatch episode, but watching it wasn't bad. "Our Mrs. Reynolds" one could at least argue there is tension between Inara and Saffron that could lead to sex, but "Tash" there isn't even that -- Inara is very dismissive of Saffron, treats her as not even worth her energy. ("You're beneath me.") I would say "Trash" makes Inara/Saffron even less likely than it is after OMR. Feel free to argue the point, though, Allie.

[P.S. Hey, look; i finally decided on a Firefly icon.]

Yay for plot advancement. (So of course we have to wait 3 weeks for another new episode.) That is all.

Well okay, two more things.

1) EW to what the blue-handed men did at the end.

2) SO glad Mal knew the truth.
