Great Firefly Comment

Seriously, what is it about science fiction shows getting really good in their third seasons? If this is actually a general rule of science fiction, I’m a little scared to imagine how more…

The Kaylee and Anya Doppelgänger

Ever since the FBI arrested members of an alleged (at this time) Russian spy ring, pictures of one of them, Anna “Anya” Chapman, have been released and they keep making me do double-takes. Why? Because she’s a dopplegänger for the actress Jewel Staite, who played Kaywinnet Lee “Kaylee” Frye in the series Firefly. more…

xkcd: The Race (sort of featuring the Fillion, the Glau, and the Staite)

The brilliance of xkcd cannot be understated, but sometimes creator Randall Munroe can not only reach the mountaintop, but leap above, avoid a pack (a gaggle?) of Reavers, and land on a Browncoat’s fannish heart like a ballerina wearing combat boots.

Totally Fanning on Summer Glau

There are some aspects of fandom that you just glom onto. Often it’s the larger work: a Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or Battlestar Galactica, or something equally epic.  Sometimes it’s a character or actor from those works that has managed to become compelling enough that you follow them from project to project because you know they won’t disappoint. For the past few years, one of those actors for me has been Summer Glau. Like many who have long been entwined … Continue reading more…

Nifty Stuff…Serenity DVD

While the DVD doesn’t release until December 20, 2005, I already know that I strongly recommend this title. Born from the mind of Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Serenity is a continuation of the adventures begun on the too-soon-cancelled show, Firefly.
