I found books for Firefly. Not sure of their quality but I'm going to read the first one. I guess I'm enjoying the umpteenth rewatch so maybe I'll give the books a try. There are 5. The show came out in 2002. I watched it after it came out, and have watched it again a few times. But, I hardly remember it! Nobody told me one of the benefits of getting older was that you could watch your favorite TV shows every few years again like they were new.
Some of the vocab, since now I could see it in print:
Gubbins—scraps
Ya ma de—fuck
Khazi—toilet
Dong ma—understand
Gorramn--A conversion of the words "God" and "Damn"
gǒu shǐ--canine excrement, dog poo, bullshit
I am having trouble reading it, I've stalled on p. 80.
Rewatching on Facebook, no Netflix or Amazon Prime, my malicious ex is squeezing me. Loved the Christina Hendricks episode entitled "Our Mrs. Reynolds". Love her character in general and her beautifulness.
Saffron: "I do know my Bible sir. "On the night of their betrothal, the wife shall open to the man as the furrow to the plow and he shall work in her, in and again, 'til she bring him to his fall and rest him then upon the sweat of her breast."
That's not an actual quote though it does sound like it could be in the book of Solomon.
After, Malcolm Reynolds: "She was naked and all articulate."
Jane trying to give away his gun in trade for a woman. "She has a name."
"So does this, her name is Vera"
I think the time of people who are rich and considered geniuses acting badly is coming to an end, and I can't say I'm sad about that. Whedon supposedly gets off on making writers cry. He bragged about making one cry twice in a meeting. It's weird that such a sensitive storyteller could be so insensitive, but grandiosity plays havoc with us all.
