00:51:20: @fredhicks I was like that with FLF. I still find myself going into bookstores, searching it out, and squeeing like a moron.
00:55:58: @beckyh2112 There's a pretty thorough entry for Codex Alera on Wikipedia, but there's no separate Wiki that I'm aware of. Can I help?
01:10:33: @beckyh2112 Me too. Again, anything I can help out with?

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show:

As we established on Day 4, my favourite TV show is Firefly, though I can never decide between "Out of Gas" and "Objects in Space."

I seem to like "Objects in Space" a lot more than my friends, and I wonder what's wrong with them. You've got your existentialist-philosophizing bounty hunter, River's craziness being a force for AWESOME, and Simon being snarky and shirtless. Plus some really amazing facial expressions from Nathan Fillion. What more could you want?

I have a great fondness for characters who are a little whimsical in the brainpan--Dru in Buffy, Auri in The Name of the Wind, Delirium in Sandman, and above all, River. The insight into the way she sees the world was just neat. It was fascinating to see her take center stage, then to see her acceptance of sorts by the rest of the crew.

"Out of Gas" is simply a revelation. It juggles three separate timelines--one present, one recent past, and one more distant past--with grace and wit. We're given a hefty dose of backstory for a number of characters, but at no point does it feel gimmicky. It changes the way we see the crew, and it makes us love them even more. And Alan Tudyk's story about stealing the shuttle recall button and giving it to Joss has been known to make me sniffle.

TV Meme, Day 05 - A show you hate
The dregs of Reality TV.

Not all of reality TV, mind you. I give a pass to shows like Project Runway and So You Think You Can Dance that are about identifying, honing, and rewarding real talent. Self/home-improvement shows like What Not To Wear and whatnot that help folks take pride in themselves and their surroundings also are undeserving of my ire. But shows that bring out the worst in humanity and give national soapboxes to vapid attention whores of society strike me as wastes of time and money. And when quality scripted television gets shunted aside to make room for more of it, I lose patience. I can hear the national IQ dropping.

TV Meme, Day 04 - Your favorite show ever

Forgive me, guys, but I'm going to have to be lame and predictable here. Firefly. But just because something is lame and predictable doesn't mean it isn't valid.

A few weeks ago, my friend Kait had a Fangirl Tea Party at her house, in which we giggled merrily about fannish things, ate a lot of baked goods, and watched a lot of random TV episodes. One of these episodes was "Safe," which I consider lower on the spectrum as far as Firefly episodes go. It's not "Objects in Space" or "Out of Gas" or "Our Mrs. Reynolds," after all. But I hadn't watched any Firefly in about two years, and I'd forgotten how good it was. I was dumbstruck. How could I have forgotten how much I love this freaking show?

I discovered Firefly in that awkward, torrent-tastic time between cancelation and the release of the DVDs. I watched the episodes in the order in which they finished downloading, "Serenity" being among the last and "Ariel" being among the first, putting me only slightly higher on the confusion scale as those who watched it on Fox. But confused or not, I still recognized greatness when I saw it.

This show has everything: action, romance, witty banter, plastic dinosaur fights, psychology, innovative cursing, gratuitous shirtlessness, chosen family, mystery, a deliciously genre-bending aesthetic, brilliant low-budget special effects that put higher budget productions to shame, folk songs about men with girls' names, and the prettiest cast you've ever seen, including my BFF Nathan. And it did it all in 14 episodes and a movie.

Damn you, Fox.
