So, I got out of work earlier than expected on Saturday and instead of driving home to Waynesboro (I would need to come back in the evening for the Global Rhythms Concert), I called Steph. We decided to run and get a bit to eat and while we were out, we discussed various and sundry topics. One of the topics that sticks out most prominently in my brain is when we were walking back to campus and I admitted that I was very sorry if this didn't seem exciting or even very much fun, but that I was a little worn out and would be perfectly content for the "girls night" we had planned to be simply ordering out Chinese and watching "Firefly".
I realized then exactly why Steph and I are friends, when her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Oh thank God! That's exactly what I wanted to do, too!"
That being said, Steph is a bad influence on my weak self. I was unable to withstand her turning on episode after episode of "Firefly", until we reached the final one and I realized that it was 3am and I still had a 20-minute drive ahead of me. Ah, the only drawback of living off-campus! And, while Steph invited me to stay, I thought it best to head home - I did have to work in the morning.
For all that, however, I can finally say I have seen every episode of "Firefly". (I hadn't, before.) Steph and I did the inevitable "so, which character do you think YOU are?" that everyone does. She is undeniably Kaylee - it's just unmistakeable. Me - well, she says I seem like a mixture of Inara and Kaylee. Not any one character. (Funnily enough, Inara is one of my least favorite characters in the series, possibly because she evidently bears a resemblance to me.) I have to say, though, if I could be any character (gender notwithstanding) in the series, I would want to be Mal. (Or Zoe.) But mostly Mal.
Anyway. Completely pointless post, for no particular reason.

You hadn't seen every episode? Which one had you missed?
I had not seen "Trash" or "Heart of Gold". (The latter helped me to like Inara a little better, but not much.)
And you being the big Saphron fan, I'd have assumed you would have seen the one where she came back. Weird.
When did I say I was a Saphron fan? I don't remember that. I do remember saying that somebody I know once said I was like her, but not that I liked her overly much. (However, she was pretty kickass in "Our Mrs. Reynolds". I didn't like her as much in "Trash".)
A year ago, I think. Yeah, I didn't like her terribly much in the sequel - her line "Face it, hubby, I'm really hot" irritated me, possibly because it seemed too direct for the character.
Yeah, and I also didn't enjoy so much seeing the more "human" side of her, then getting the old Saphron back. It just didn't work very well, character-wise.
